My cat will go to the upper level where they upper enclosure is. There does not seem to be a logical way to get there. Do yours go to the top? How?

We swapped the little hammock and the lowest shelf. That way they can jump to the shelf, and then to the top. I'd imagine if you didn't set it up that way they would climb the pole.

Yes, they both just climb up to the top like they would a tree. They both even sleep and wrestle on the upper shelves.

Sorry. I haven't been able to check my email for a while. The answer to your question though...there is a small shelf that comes out a little bit further than the top shelf. They get to the edge of that, and pull themselves up. I think they do it just out of sheer will, so that they can hop on top of my fireplace and entertainment system. More stuff to knock off there. lol

There are two ways to keep your pet safe: The most obvious is to put the hood up as you can see in the photo, in which case it can move about inside and not get out. If you want to leave the hood open there are fastening loops inside which you can tether your cat to by means of a collar and some kind of chain/lead etc. Make sure it's long enough for it to stretch its legs and lie down!

Cut a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" hole in a piece of cardboard and see if he can get through. It might be a tiny bit taller than that, but no wider. The door flap makes the vertical space smaller than it looks. My cat loves it, but she's tiny (7 lbs).

Yeah, pretty much. The top is just kind of grated to catch the kitty litter as cat jumps out. Works ok. Doesn't really keep kitty litter from going everywhere around it (less than a normal cat box of course though). Mainly got this so our dog stops getting "snacks". :P

Our cat does that but the second level actually sticks out somewhat from the third level. The second level board has only two holes for the supports and it is not symmetric on the base. I just noticed their picture shows it under the third level. I put ours together differently - I suspect the instructions have been changed to that way instead of the picure.

My cat sits on top of the cage and can't get in. Although a cat with claws might be able to "nab" a gerbil (that is what we have). The gerbils are not afraid, so their tails to stick out when sitting near the side by the cat. Once, I went in the room and the whole cage was on the floor. Luckily, the gerbils didn't get out, but they could have as one side came loose. Just be sure the tank is on a very sturdy surface. Mine is on a night stand and hangs over some as we have two of these on tanks side by side.

The cat tree I have is a little different than the one in the photo. Mine has two cubby hole boxes - one about one foot off the floor and another about 4 feet off the floor. There are the platforms, too, on the top of the box, the highest one about 1.5 ft above the second box. One of my cats "lives" in the upper cubby hole surveying the activity below and out the window. Great buy!

My cats move their heads out of the way when it closes. I know if anything gets stuck in the doors the doors stop and keep trying until the doors shut. So even for a slow cat it would close.

Good question. It is really too small for my cats to sit on and they usually jump right to the top. Sometimes they scratch it. The scratching post is hard for them to reach. Both sit on the top and look out the window, which is what I got it for.

I don't know where you are seeing horizontal bars. The only place where these might be is where the tray is for the cat to perch on. Otherwise, this cage is completely open inside. There are also two doors, one on top and a lower one. Perhaps these are the bars you are seeing in the photo?

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 flipped the outer flap down on one side. I also turned the level just below so my cat could jump inside. She loves it!

I have mine set up to allow the cats out until 8pm and then they are locked in. If they are still out after 8 and come back in it keeps them in. Also they can't get back out until 7am the next morning.

There is a "door type" of opening on the bottom that is about 5 inches in width at the bottom. The largest circular openings are about 4 to 4 and a half inches in diameter. My cat is an 8 pounder. She actually has never gone inside of the tree, but it has been the absolutely best scratching post we could find. Don't know if the failure to go inside is due to size or not. She does not in general go hiding at all - so it may be a temperament issue, but dont really know

Best thing for "high peers" is the Clever Cat top entry litter box. My cats had no trouble adapting to them and now there is never any pee outside the litterbox. I had previously used the Boodha dome and that was terrible ... they would pee right over the steps and the pee would collect at the bottom. Disgusting. The only solution I've found is the top entry box. Good luck!

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 cats can't crush the cage, but it is possible to topple it from the top of the aquarium. It happened to mine once, but I think she learned her lesson. I had to go on a degu hunt, but it was pretty easy to find barking degu in a fairly open basement. It would be possible to fasten the top to the aquarium with a simple strap and hook, or something similar.
