How tall is it from the floor to the first level? Worried it is too high of a jump for my special needs cat, Thanks!

Could add some kitty steps next to the tree if the first level is too high.

It's 5 feet 8 inches. But there are a few levels so a cat can climb as high as it wishes to climb.

It's about 20" to the first level. I just took mine apart last night because we are moving but I measures the best I could.

First level is flat on the floor, which was a drawback for us but may be a plus for you.

The little house on the bottom is 12" tall. The lowest platform is 23" from the floor.

Approximately 22-23". Jumps to the next level look to be approximately 8" and then 15" between the top and level below. My two cats really enjoy this, one is very petite ( 6 lbs) and the other approx 12 lbs.

Yes that is to the tallest point. The bed is about 5 inches lower. FYI If you take off the bed and the tube underneath it it is 25 1/2 inches tall which is purr purr perfect to create stairs for an older cat to get up on the pillow-top mattress. You can tighten the third step by getting a 55 cent bolt from Home Depot with the same thread as the connecting bolt for the tube. Trust me....real easy! Product is very sturdy and our cat loves it as a scratch post. Easy to assemble. Enjoy!

We have two cats now and they both like sitting on either platform to look out of the window. But all our windows extend almost to the floor. The first level is 18 inches from the floor, the second is 32 ans the top is 50. Hope that helps!

I would be hesitant and I'll tell you why. The base and scratching posts are very solid - no complaints about that. However, the U-shaped platform at the top and the lower platform that curves upward, are not nearly as solid as the rest of the piece and sure enough, those are the areas where a cat would typically sit. The U shaped platform at the top is OK, but the lower platform is very weak in my opinion. (And I'm not really sure what purpose the upward curving of the lower platform serves anyway - my cats have never scractched on the outside of that section.) If your cat doesn't put any weight on that area, it might be ok. BUT, if your 20# cat puts weight on it, I think it might break pretty quickly. I bought this for 5 foster cats - none of whom are over 8#. The smallest kitten who is about 4# jumps on the top of that lower curved platform and the entire thing shakes. I've had it for about 10 weeks and nothing is broken so far (except the toy). One other FYI that comes to mind - the removable "cushion" is just 2 pieces of plush fabric sewn together - there is no cushioning inside. Whatever you decide, I hope you find one that works great for you and your kitty!

Definitely not. My cat doesn't even use it to step up onto the top perch. She either jumps from close furniture or right to the top.

I didnt measure but I think our ceilings are the same and it fit- what was tough was for my cat to jump from the second to third level- but he likes being put up there or jumping from a chair to this.

I had to put my cat in the top basket, to try to get her used to it. But eventually she kept jumping down, which is a foot drop down to the floor. Plus since my cat's full grown, the middle flat tier kept tipping over; so its not that reliable if propped up properly. Eventually I took my top tier basket down since she never slept in it; & my cat tore the heck out of the top scratching post. But my cat still likes to jump up on the rest of the cat pole.

The carrier is 15-inches high, which is tall enough for my 20-pound cat to sit up in. However, with that weight, I've found I have to support the bottom of the carrier with my other had, as it sags from the weight (I'm also paranoid about the strain on the handle, so I may just be extra cautious). I leave it out in the living room without the door, they like to hang out in it. The clear top seems to calm the cats down in the car, as they can see me. I get tons of compliments wherever I take it... I think it'd be perfect for your dog to travel and hang out in!

It's 4" from floor to top of bowl. My teeny kitten has no trouble at all! The design is great for little furbabies--the bowls have wide round pegs that fit into slots on the base, so no matter how hard she tries (accidentally or intentionally), she can't tip the bowls over. VERY glad I bought this item!!

The different levels are gotten to by the cat going like in a stair motion. It's a big piece but it's visually appealing, looks like an expensive piece of furniture. My cats love it and fight over who gets to sleep on the very top level. It's easy to assemble also. But it's pretty heavy and comes in a giant box. Good luck.

Hi Jan, it's 6" off the floor and my Maltese loves it. I have a thick pillow on top and he loves jumping up on there and snuggling in.

Sorry for the late reply...if you're talking about the first "perch", it's 2 feet from the ground, but if you're talking about the "bed" on top of the condo (we call it a hut) it's a little under 1 1/2 feet from the ground (1' 3"-4"). I hope this helps. We have 3 cats and they love it. It's very sturdy too and has never toppled over. I think it's definitely worth the money.

The platforms are not that big. The top one is approx. 10x10. My cat is about 14 lbs and will not go in the cubby hole or lay on any of the platforms. I think she's just too big. I might take it apart and make bigger platforms for her to lay on. Sorry, but I really cannot recommend this item until its been re-designed.

It's 2 foot tall so cats may be able to jump out unless it's covered-it was hard for me to get it covered as shown in the picture. There were no instructions either.

The top platforms are small. I have 2 male cats that are about 18 lbs and neither one would get up there. Also, the upper box is too small for an 18 lb cat to fit into. They can barely fit into the lower box. Lastly, the third layer was too crowded with the 3 upper platforms and the little box. I removed the top 3 platforms, their supporting columns, and the little top box and now my cats can at least get up on the 3rd layer. I also removed the two ramps, as the cats weren't using them and they got in the way of the 2nd layer. Sorry that I don't have explicit sizes for you, but I removed the items you asked about. Hope this helps.

I am not sure. I guess it would depend on if your cat climbs or would be able to jump over it.

At the top where the hinge is and the interlock it's about 17 inches. In everywhere else except the top and bottom it's closer to 18 3/4 inches. As to height, that's a slight bit variable as it depends on how you install but it will always be close to 36 inches or 3 feet. For my install it's 3 feet 1/2 inch in height. Our cats can jump over it, barely. Our dog can't or perhaps doesn't try.
