Would a cat want to and be easily able to climb this? I actually want a piece of furniture I could convert into a modern-looking cat tree.

It might be ok, and certainly would be a stylish cat tree! If it's for a larger adult cat, it won't work as well as it would for a kitten or a smaller cat; the slope doesn't allow for a large cat to transition up and down easily. I'll say, thought, that this is a very stable piece of furniture, well worth the dollars, and easy to put together!

The top few shelves might be a little narrow for that purpose but if you anchor it to the wall, it may work.

I don't think that would work very well. There is 13" between shelves, and as the shelves go up each one is 2" narrower than the one below it. I don't think that would give a cat enough room to climb up. I could be wrong, however. We have three cats and none has ever tried it.

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

From what I know of kittens they love places they can climb. A kitten would love this as their home but would also want something inside to climb up and down. Something not taller than 20" would be great and have I inside here and this would be a great play ground for a kitten with an item to go up and down and toys to play with also. Note the kitten will also try to climb the upper area zipped shut too probably and fall down so aren't you glad it is only 25" total high. Have a great time watching and playing with your kitten. Be sure to take pictures too. You may win a contest!!! From what I know of kittens they love places they can climb.

I think it could and should be fine for some cats. However, but not if you cat figures out how to climb over it.

No, I don't believe this will support your cat's weight for climbing. The book case leans against the wall and can become wobbly if moved slightly. It isn't made for animals and climbing animals at that. I have a lamp on mine and when bumped into, the bookshelf can knock the lamp off of it.

that is fairly small to force a cat to live in. it isnt nearly tall enough to meet cat's need to be higher than there surroundings. so I would say no

Yes, your cat moves from level to level from the inside. A cut out in the floor of each level, allows them to navigate easily. Where As a traditional cat tree relys on your cats agility to jump & scale the structure. I think this would be a good tree for your declawed kitties. (:

You're right, it was a little awkward at first for them. We did put a couple of things ( a square bench and a chair)next to it so they can use those if they need them. They don't have any problems now and after they explored it for a week. We're very happy with it. The top perches are super cushiony(not conveyed in the picture) and the overall quality is the best we've had in a cat tree.

No, not a cat that climbs. Also the space at the bottom of the door was enough for my 8 week golden retriever to get through so a cat definitely could. If your willing to modify it somewhat it could work.

Possibly, but not if the cat is anything like my little "bull in a china shop". If you did, you would probably need to build a short wall around the shelf to keep the bowls from falling to the ground. And the short section of the second flat level would be your best bet, as it would not interfere with progress to the top perch. If you have a delicate graceful cat and a dog who wouldn't leap up and topple the whole tower over to get at the food, it might be possible but there is the possibility of a big mess! Good luck!

Probably not, my cat is only 10 pounds and curled up tight he barely fits in the bottom one. He spends most of his time in the top one and still hangs over the edges a bit. This is a good, well constructed cat tree for a smaller cat.

Not sure exactly what your question is but: it's easy to put together. I'm a 55 year old cat lady and it took me an hour. I laid out all the parts: I want everything to be easy and since they are all labeled a,b,c, etc, I put the nuts/bolts in a bowl with a paper that said a, b, c, and laid out the round climber pieces in 'size piles' then just followed the directions, which are really clear. It wasn't hard at all. IF you are asking if the configuration can be changed: all of the bolts are the same width so I suppose it could, however the original configuration is so cool and the cats love it so much this is one of the only cat climbers I've ever bought that I didn't change the configuration at all.

In my opinion this would NOT be substantial enough for an animal that weight. Even 75# might be pushing it. It is more the stability of it and step size that I would worry about. My cat is about 15# and I had 19# cat that I would not have used this size for.

This tree is huge and very sturdy! I think your cats would do great with this one!

I would think it's too tall and there'd be little room for the cat to maneuver with it in there. I have it sitting right outside.

Yes, I am 99.9% sure it can, and the openings to get through should be fine. It is a nice tower for them. I had a 25lb. cat own me (grin) that would have been fine on it if things had been better for him. My current owner (cat) is on it a lot, but the scratching post part isn't as appealing as I thought.If you are considering a high end purchase for them, if you haven't looked into it, look into the Litter Robot...it'll be good for all of you. Be well, and I hope that helped.

Definitely. My cats don't have any front claws and they run up and down that tree. They love it.
