Do all of the levels have a "step up" to them, not stacked directly on top? One of my cats is declawed and can't grab onto things to pull herself up.

The only thing they can really use to get to the top level is that little side hammock/basket which doesn't provide a stable jumping surface at all. The only reason my cats can reach the top level is because I put it right next to our couch. As far as the claws go, he/she shouldn't need them, neither of my cats are declawed and it hasn't helped them out.

No. There are no stairs, ladders, or anything else to assist in their ascent to the top. What is pictured is what you get. The lower 2/3 of the cat tower is rather easily accessible do to the platforms being relatively low in nature. The top tier is hard to get on even if your cats do have claws. Our cats use the back of the couch to access the upper portions and even then it's a leap for them. Hope this is helpful!

I'm not sure if it will work too well for your kitty. My cats climb it by using the nails, of course. there is this first little room with the round hole in which they can jump on and then jump to the bigger room. If you get this cat tree i bet that your kitty will figure it out.

No they dont I had to put a table next to it so the cats can jump to the top level

Even though the levels are staggered it does require my cat to use her claws to get from one to another level, and past the third level the tower becomes shaky so the top is never used because it scares the cat.

They levels are stacked pretty much on top of each other. The only one not stacked is the circle in the middle but that is kinda of wobbly and my cat avoids it.

Kristy, Kittens would do better on this tree. Straight up, I will be returning the tree. That is one problem for my 4-- 5yr oldsThe Noxious odor is still with it also. The 72 in with a ramp, might be better for your cat. hope this helped

This may not work well for your one cat since it is declawed. They need to grab onto the small platform and pull themselves up.

There is a handle on the top that you can use to pick the carrier up with the cat(s) inside. I purchased it because of the wheels. I am very pleased with it.

They include 2 stakes so you can pin it to the ground if needed and I doubt it is tall enough to tip over since it is quite wide. It may be annoying since the bottom is mesh their nails can get stuck so we put a blanket in the bottom. Also since our cats have not gotten used to it yet they have no issues in wanting to leave but it is not difficult to climb halfway in and grab them if needed.

It's not that far, my cat jumps straight to the 3rd level, the 2nd level is more for support of that level, she hasn't really used it except to hide behind the tree. I'm 5'4" and the 3rd level is about hip high.

I have six cats, two of my cats use the ladder at the top. The rest don't use the ladders, but one is over ten years old, so I wanted the ladders just in case he needs them in the future.

We have 2 cats which total close to yours and they both run and leap off of ours frequently. It would most certainly need to be anchored somewhere, either the floor or a wall, to prevent it from tipping. Each post has a 2" bolt which holds it to the post below or above, plastic wrapped in carpet/cord. The steps would not hold up however. They are only held by a single L bracket at the top. A screw through the bottom or an extra bracket on the top would help but you need to be careful that you don't leave anything exposed that would cut the cat.

That is a big MAYBE. I have two cats, whom are not really allowed to jump on the two shelves that I have. I have seen them on the second from the bottom shelf, but I have filled up the other shelves on purpose so that they don't want to get up there. One of the shelves wasn't aligned properly so I had to tweak it in order for it to fit properly with the groove. With the that being said, I've weighted to bottom shelf as much as possible just in case the cats insist on climbing it, and neither of them have tipped over yet. I hope that gives you a little insight :).

Yes. Mine does and he's not a small cat. There isn't much room to spare. Paws will hang over. But he will just perch on the top two shelves to check things out.

I can't tell you, I have never had a declawed cat. They don't need to climb. they can just jump from one level to the next.

I gave the whole tower away. It fell over a couple of times when the cat got on the top level and cats didn't like the carpet. It was smooth and they couldn't claw it but would rather just rake through it. I had the tower about a month and donated it. Have another that we all like better.

No! The middle perch is barely large enough for a cat to use as a step to the high perch. My cat is 8 pounds and this is really too small for her. She uses the high perch but only because I set up another type of step for her to reach it. The thing is barely usable.

My cat gets up the upper shelf by leaping from our sofa. So he certainly doesn't use his claws to climb up the tree. And I'm not sure we're talking about the same cat tree, if the picture next to this question is accurate then we aren't. But in any case it would be worth it to try it out, if you can afford to.

In my opinion, the sides are too high for most cats to be able to do that....unless there was a lot of litter in the box to bring level of waste up high. Does that make sense? I hope so. Hope this helps you.

No, my cat is fairly big and she refuses to get in the beds. It is super tipsy and scared her the first time she tried to jump up. Plus the beds are small. I do, however, love the posts. They are easy for my cat to get to to scratch on.

Yes they do. If you don't have any animals it's fine. I have a cat and she is always knocking the top row down with just a tiny nudge. I wished it was more stable.

I really never thought about it, but just off the top of my head I would say easier to climb up and much easier to come down. Aside from that, the steps are great and my cat really likes them to climb up to the top of her condo.

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.
