Could an overweight, elderly, CLAWLESS cat enjoy this? Could she reach the 2nd level? She needs exercise. (She can jump up onto the bathroom sink.)

Yes. They can jump from level to level. and you can twist some of the levels to make this easier. I have the 72" with cylinders.

I think she could. Most cats can manage to jump to just about anyplace they want to be. And if it takes a little practice, a few extra tries....that's exercise and exercise is very good.
258210
Yes. The distance between the levels is close enough, and the landing areas are wide enough that she shouldn't have any problem.
258211
Yes they could. I highly recomend this climber. easy to assemble and the cats love it. I think a older cat could enjoy this very much.

I am not sure on this tree. The Faux fur aspect may make it a little slippery but the ladder steps may help. Mine is a different model without the stairs. My cat has claws and definitely uses them.

Absolutely....Our overweight cat jumps to the very top. He also gets on the sink for water. We have three cats....they love this climber. The ropes are great for scratching. (Guess it won't work for a clawless cat!) Have fun!

I have an 11-year old, 26-pound, clawless cat and he does just fine with it. He can even squeeze himself into the smaller box! (He hasn't been on the top 3 perches, however--he's too big for them).

Because of the sloping sides, it may not be big enough. My cat is 17 pounds and she stepped in, peed over the front and that was that. The best solution I have found if your cat likes to stand and pee where they land in the litter box is a regular large plastic bin with lid. Sit the bin on the lid and fill it with cat litter. As long as your cat is OK to jump into the litter box this works really well. My cat is arthritic now so I bought a small kids plastic step stool - works great!

One of my cats is fat too. She hang out in both boxes. Even though she don't fit. Lol

Absolutely! I have four cats - two are 6 and two are 10 years old -and they LOVE it! I would say that a kitten would love it even more - there is a LOT of room to play! My cats tore off the swinging mouse, but they do use it to jump, climb and scratch. The sisal ropes are a godsend - my furniture is thankful! LOL! My cats are too large (and heavy) to use the two stairs, but that would be perfect for a kitten, and can be removed if necessary. The build was really easy since everything is clearly marked. This was definitely a great buy. I would highly recommend it. Good luck!

Oh I'm sure:) but cats are a bit more stealth! They might figure out quickly how to work around it. As long as they don't step heavily on it they'd be fine. It would be hilarious to watch.

I have two very fat cats - both of them can jump it no problem. I would not use for a cat.

Yes! Unless he's injured he should be able to easily jump to the second platform. My cats prefer to climb them like stairs.

It would be pretty hard for a cat to squeeze by this. They would have to be fairly little and very determined. Not much open space.

I am sorry for your cat, we have a 12-year old who has a hard time getting up on the bed. She uses the stair one that has steps, but for some reason she does not like this one. It is a great product, well made and sturdy, but maybe it is too steep

Wouldn't be my first choice. Our cat uses it only sporatically. Try the bird or the cloth strip with handles, both of which will give much more exercise.

Yes. My cat is 12 pounds & jumps on it. She doesn't jump to the top level though.

That is a big MAYBE. I have two cats, whom are not really allowed to jump on the two shelves that I have. I have seen them on the second from the bottom shelf, but I have filled up the other shelves on purpose so that they don't want to get up there. One of the shelves wasn't aligned properly so I had to tweak it in order for it to fit properly with the groove. With the that being said, I've weighted to bottom shelf as much as possible just in case the cats insist on climbing it, and neither of them have tipped over yet. I hope that gives you a little insight :).

I had to put my cat in the top basket, to try to get her used to it. But eventually she kept jumping down, which is a foot drop down to the floor. Plus since my cat's full grown, the middle flat tier kept tipping over; so its not that reliable if propped up properly. Eventually I took my top tier basket down since she never slept in it; & my cat tore the heck out of the top scratching post. But my cat still likes to jump up on the rest of the cat pole.

I can't tell you how much our cat weighs, but she is a pretty big girl. The condo doesn't rock or move when she jumps or walks on the ledge. I thought somewhere in the specs there is a weight limit. This product is solidly built. Our cat,almost 10 years old, uses every inch of it.

a cat could definitely just jump over this thing without wiggling through. it's only 2 and a half feet tall.

Any cat with mobility impairment could face a challenge getting in and out of this box. Ask your veterinarian for advice if your cat has difficulty climbing or jumping or is too obese to fit.

The gate is not that tall and I don't see why a healthy cat could not jump over this gate. I'm looking at it right now and I feel confident a normal cat will be able to jump it.
