What are the dimensions of the top ovoid? I have a 22 lb., 11 year old cat. Would he be able to get to the top and sleep comfortably in it?

Dear C. Kristen Whitworth,I think you will be hard pressed to find a stand that would fit the size of your cat. Our Tom-Cat is about 11 pounds and he just fits with no room to spare.

Yes, I believe so. This is really well-made tree. It also lays flat against the wall. I would recommend it.

I gave this as a gift, so I am unable to measure the top ovoid. However, I had it put together at my office and was very impressed by the quality. Further, I have a 14 year old cat that is approximately 20 lbs. and believe he would fit on the top. The person I gave the tower to has 2 cats and they love the tower. I gave him a tower last year that was poorly made and ready for the trash. I recommend the purchase of this product and think your cat will enjoy it. Lisa Moran, Tyler, TX

Might be too small for him. I have a slender cat and she does not get up on the top two...but the rest of it, she loves it!!

The resting area of the steps is about 12" x 8". The actual step is about 4" longer but that space is where the step connects to the post. A cat that is not too large would be able to rest on the steps (no Maine Coons!). Ditto with the top.

My cat is about 10#. He takes up most of the carrier. He cannot stand up in it. He likes to nap it it so it must be comfortable for him.

I wouldn't think so. my cat is 11lbs and she's pretty cozy in there, meaning there's not a lot more room. and the top is a dome, so not tall enough twd the edges for two doggies to stand. :-)

Sorry for the delay in responding---away on vacation. You are correct in your estimation about the size of the 12x13 top shelf. Our 8 pound cat uses the entire space and generally has limbs hanging over the sides. So, she barely fits but loves being up there anyway. She almost fell off once but seems to have adjusted to the limited space.

I agree with everyone the dimension on top is indeed 9 x 16, but my biggest cat who is not fat at all but is 16 pounds is always on the top shelf. The tiny cat sleeps on the bigger cat tree. Sigh! they are very silly at times, but my tiny cat (9 pounds) does sneak in and sleep on the second shelf. But I bought it because it was the same size as the window sill, so they can look out, and it does that very wellYes he oozes over, and yes we have other trees, so if they want they can sleep up there.

It's possible. Since I don't know your cat it's hard to say for sure. The opening to the box isn't very high it. I measured it and it was just under 3 inches high which in my experience is still high enough to allow me to put a comfortable layer of litter in it. My bunny, Chibi, used to like sleeping in his litter box sometimes so this was a requirement for me. The opening is also very wide. I don't think any sized cat would have trouble with this. If your cat's arthritis isn't so bad that she can't step up three inches and if she only uses litter boxes as a litter box and not a bed (I think if you have a small cat this wouldn't matter but I don't think a larger one would be able to lay in it comfortably though I'm not sure.) I wouldn't see any reason this one wouldn't work.

I have one cat who is a big boy, weighs about 19 pounds! He is lying on it right now and fits pretty nicely. A few parts are of him are off to the side, but overall it works.

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. 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.

Agree with answer below. My cat (about a 13 pound tabby, age 6) will go from the lower level to the top and settle in for a nap or bird watching. (The lower level is also a popular nap place.) As posted previously, this was the BEST purchase and is such a quality product. And best of all, made in the good ol' USA!

I'm sure the top cradle part will be, I'm not sure about the circular bed. tho. The only one of my cats that has gotten in it is my small female--she's about9 lbs. A bigger cat would probably fit, I just haven't seen mine get in it.

It is about 32" high, and the top is about 19" square. I have large cats (a bit over 15 lbs.) and they like to lay on the top, but have never used the lower parts.

My cat is 13-14 lbs and he fits in there okay. He has misjudged his size and went (poo) outside the box once or twice because he didn't go all the way in and left his back side hanging over. It looks like he might, door hole might be small depending on his girth.

top: 9 inches deepX16 wide, middle:14 deep X11wide, bottom: 18 deep X 11wide -This is very sturdy and our 15 pound cat can sleep on every level. We have 2 cats and they share it.

I don't know the dimensions, but my 13lb adult cat is curled up very comfortably on it for sleeping. it's right in front of the fish-tank - he loves it. Our 6mnth old kitten also sits - rather drapes herself all over - on that perch to watch the fish, but only the big cat sleeps on it by choice.

I would think that a 20 pound adult cat could easily get through the door and fit inside this just fine. The opening is 11 inches high and it's the same width at the bottom. It tapers to about 7 inches at the top but is still wide enough all the way up. I would think even a small dog could fit in it just fine. It's a really nice design and even folds flat if you need to pack or store it. I would highly recommend it!
