I have a 1 year old, 12 pound cat that's declawed (apartment policy), will she be able to get from tower to tower with just her back claws?

Yes, our cat is small and she can go from tier to tier with out a problem. How ever your 12lb cat may rock the top of the tower. I recommend not installing the cylinder to the top, as it makes the structure unstable.

I would think so everything is pretty close to jump from section to section

I believe so. the tower has many levels. your cat could go to the lowest level to get up and down. 12 lbs WoW Is it a Maine coon cat?

I wouldn't buy this tower. It is very unstable when a cat is up top. I keep a 40 lb bag of cat litter on the base to stabilize it. Also the round hut has a cheap pressboard circular insert on the top which arrived broken and I never got a res

I had the same concern, but I think so. My cat's between 16-18 lbs and glides right on through. Cats are mostly all fur aren't they? Haha.

My cats are declawed in the front but have the rear claws. We never had an issue. Unless your cats' claws are long, it shouldn't be an issue.

Of course. Cats are natural climbers, claws or not, and they like to sit at high levels. Your cat will love it.

I have a cat that likes to climb and I have put a drape cloth over my chair, just to be safe, but I haven't found any where her claws have penetrated yet. Not saying it won't happen, but I did put the old blanket over to be safe

If your cat has claws, I don't think it will hold up. I have had mine for a long time now, but I am also ensuring there is nothing sharp coming in contact with it.

Our cat only weights 8 pounds and we got medium claws for her and they were fine. I like for a 13 pound cat, medium would work just fine.

I have a large cat too (15lbs) and she is able to fit comfortably inside the cat condo and she enjoys the scratching post (one side is very shredded). This is large enough for bigger kitties but if your cat is prone to leaping on and off the top of the condos I recommend that you position the condo against a wall as it is not super sturdy. It is not something I consider a big deal, just something to keep in mind. That being said, for the price you cannot beat this condo, I shopped around quite a bit. Assembly was easy enough. Just rub some catnip on it and you're good to go. Hope this helps.

I don't think this step would be suitable for her. It's more appropriate for my 12 pound kitty.

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.

Absolutely. The older cat - multi-toed is a front declaw and he plays on the top all the time. Jumps to the upper platform with no troubles.... He plays with it as much as the 6 month old kitten.

Your cat will be fine. I transported my dog she is 11 lbs. We really like ours.

Yes, most definitely. I don't live with any declawed cats right now, but my Snowy loved to play with the first box I had and could extract toys. There Re holes on the sides as well as on top, so your cat should have no trouble playing. Enjoy!

My cat walks on it (yes, she has claws, but they're clipped) and it doesn't seem to be a problem at least in the 3 weeks I've used it. Mostly she slides on it, so she really prefers to find another way around. I did have some concerns, but so far so good.

The size would be good for your cat. My cat is declawed but I would say that if your cat is temperamental he could eventually claw through the net but I doubt that anyone would be that close to get hurt if it was just a random paw swipe.

I'm afraid I can't help with that, my cat has her claws. Hopefully someone else knows!

The nails stay on about a month. You'll see a couple come off and that's maybe cuz your cat chews on them. I stopped using soft claws because my cat didn't like them and I felt bad. Invest on a large cat scratching post. My cat loves it. Sits on it all day long. And it's the only thing she goes after to scratch.
