I bought this cat tower 4 years ago for this exact reason. I have a very athletic min pin mix who is leggy and can jump like a jackrabbit. She can climb the tower to the level with the little house on it. Our floors aren't even, so at that level the tower wobbles/twitches with her weight (12lbs), and she won't go higher. It will not topple. My tomcat is 20lbs, and he jumps all over it. It's never come close to falling over. He and my other cat are rather tormented by the dog. She chases and teases them. This is the perfect escape for them to get some peace and naps.

Our dog climbs ladders but leaves this alone (he HAS put front feet on it). The cat feels safe on the two top shelves and in the house, even though the dog, at 28 lbs, can jiggle it some. We love this tower (cat, dog, and owners)!

A small dog that wanted to could jump onto the lowest platform on this tree.

I don't have a small dog but I do believe that this kitty tree would be great for keeping jumping doggies away from your kitties. I have model A8001 and it is awesome. It looks great and is very sturdy, its made of plywood instead of pressed wood. My kitties are big, 18 lbs each and they run and jump on it and it doesn't tip at all. I would recommend this product.

Yes, I have tow miniature Aussie's that are perfectly comfortable on top or on the bottom. Should be plenty of room for your cats.

Probably not. Since rabbits are larger and tend to jump/are able to get taller. My 3 month old guinea pig has almost learned to get over it though I've taught him not to. I'd suggest a taller one for a rabbit to prevent unwanted escape. xD Don't want our furry friends to go missing. <3

Hello there, I'm not familiar with the dog breed you have, but I can tell you of my own experiences with these items. I own the 32" fence, and I own 2 of the 40" fences. I use the smaller one inside to house a 4pd Yorkie puppy. I have it set up in my laundry room, and it works wonderful !!! Within the play area I have a crate for Bella to sleep in, I have her food and water bowls, and behind the crate I have a UGO potty pad. Everything fits nicely and well contained. Bella is very small and isn't expected to get much bigger. This is her bedroom and she feels very safe and secure in there. Now the 40" fence I use for my 2 outside dogs. Molly, a female terrier mix about 15 Pds and Bailey a chaweenie about 9pds. I use this fence to block them from certain areas, works great. It's a easy and well made product to put together. It's a very affordable option to a permanent investment. I take it down and move it around often and it's never a problem. I also have a pool and it helps with that too. If your dog is gonna be a jumper the 40" might better. I love both heights for the purpose they serve. Hope this helps

my chihuachau and small miniature pincher jump right in. no Problems. Have two of these. But, normally, they both share one.

I have noticed a reaction with my cat as well. I've only had it for a few hours, but right now the little yappy dog next door doesn't seem to mind it. Only time will tell...

Your cats would fit. The issue is if they want a way to escape...needs a small exist in the back of dog house..you will have to cut a hole for this exist.

Like one of the other responders, I too switched to the larger ABO Gear Happy Habitat, which is sturdier and easily accommodates four cats. The one you're looking at - of which I've owned two - is crowded for three, even if they get along.

Hello,My son is 26lbs and he jumps like a crazy man in ours and we have not had any problems. They are light weight but the base of the poles are pretty spread out. I couldn't see the dogs being able to flip it maybe bumping into it and moving it but not flipping it over. We took ours to my aunts on Christmas eve and my 2 yr old cousin was hanging onto and swinging on it and it didn't budge. He's your typical little rough boy if he couldn't flip I really couldn't imagine your dog's being able to. Our son loves his jumper I hope your little one enjoys it just as much. I hope this was helpful feel free to message me if you hanymore questions.Happy jumping ;)Tiffany Hello,My son is 26lbs and he jumps like a crazy man in ours and we have not had any problems.

No I don't - probably should look into it. Our cat shares with the pup - they're the same size!

I have a German Shepherd/Rott/Lab mix that it works great for..! He weighs approx 125lbs and would initially jump in and out of my SUV. After he pulled a muscle doing this, I resorted to searching the web for something other than a set of steps that would be more cumbersome for me to handle. Hence, I found the OttoStep.....best thing going!! I love it and so does he..!! He was a little leery at first, but quickly picked up the concept. He does not have to jump at all. I would highly recommend it, especially for larger, older four legged friends. Hope this helps in making your decision. :)

My cats don't have problem with it. Our youngest cat found out to stick his paw up the shoot and now the other is doing it. I have ours placed on a shelf, In a corner location. They haven't knocked it off yet. If you have a dog who is mischievous or curious this might be a problem. Our cats hear the food being dispensed they stop whatever they're doing and run to eat. I have it set up for two times a day morning and afternoon. I would buy it again. The batteries last 6-9 months.

I used it for my 6 pound Yorkie, she loved it. Would put her paws up on the edge and just look out at the world. I now use it formy 5 pound cat. My Sydnee went to the Rainbow bridge in August way to young but bottom line it is so wonderful for a small dog, becausethey get so tired after a block of walking, for them I guess it seems like a mile :)

Sergio - I have 2 pugs that would jump on anyone that came to the house and I could no get them to stop until they decided to calm down on their own. Once I put the collar on, they learned not to jump quickly. After a while of taking the collar off, all I would have to do was grab the remote so they could see it and they would immediately settle down. I also used it to get them to not walk on the pool cover. Again, they learned quickly. I don't know much about the rat terroir breed by I think it's worth a try. I kept the setting very low so it was just enough to get their attention. Hope this helps and good luck!

Hi, i saw your question and though i dont have a small dog, one of my cats is barely 7 lbs. He fits in the large one well and i like him to be able to turn around and be comfortable. The small one seems very small. And the large is not huge by any means. Personally i prefer abit larger than too small. If i had a big cat,say 12 to 15 lbs , the large would not be big enough.Hope this helps. I would get the larger one especially if you dont want to buy another one later. Jan

Sorry about the delay for the answer. Our little dog is 8lbs and doesn't take up half the space. I think two cats would fit, however they wouldn't really have their own space and will most likely be right next to each other. If they are anything like our cats they have no problem sharing a space such as this.
