I bought this for my dog and she uses it all the time. Cats just naturally like to climb, so I'd think it would be purrr-fect for a cat. We love our pets so it's worth a try.

maybe, If the height of the ramp is the same or almost the same as the bed.

I ended up giving this away and getting a ramp that wasn't as steep. My 12lb mini schnauzer is 14, almost 15, with bad arthritis and 4 collapsed disks in her back and this specific ramp didn't work for us. A cat is more dexterous and if your kitty still has claws the ramp might work but I can't recommend.

Ramp would work for cat. Our bed is high so we have the ramp leading to dog crate & our 11 lb. Doxie goes from ramp-crate-bed. Works great!

It's easy to put together, sturdy, and has good traction. My puppy took to it easily. My older dogs never learned. Depending on how far of the floor your bed is, there may be a foot your cat will have to jump up.

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

I bought this to use for my oldest cat, that is 19 years old and can hardly walk. My three legged cat also uses it. I think it would work great for kittens. You do need a litter catching mat in the front of it.

Kittens are fine but once they get to about 6 months they can jump over it...so it won't work for long....at least that's how my cat is

Not sure they will do better with this one. Our cat is 13 lbs and jumps gingerly on and off the platforms. We have it backed to a wall and that helped stabilize it. Not sure how two cats at the same time would affect it.

I believe it will work. Our cats, 10# and 11# both fell in and it went off. Also, my husband forgot it was in and just dangled his feet and it went off. We have been really pleased with it.

Might be too small for him. I have a slender cat and she does not get up on the top two...but the rest of it, she loves it!!

YES my cat moves a little easier but he is old and it's always hard but this helps.

Our three are declawed. They are excellent jumpers though, and jump to the first level and up from there. If your cat is older or infirm, he may have trouble.

Vger - It would be sturdy enough for a cat of that size, but the resting area at the top might be a bit tight. The bed part is not as large as I had hoped it would be, and my cats never used that area. They did, however, use the steps quite a bit.

It works best on furniture that moves when cat hops on it. I don't think it would work for you.

The Feliway hasn't affected my cat's desire to jump on the furniture. My vet recommened using Feliway to help decrease my 13 year old cat's anxiety attacks and get her to stop pulling out her fur. It worked for those things. Kittens have so much energy I'm not sure if few calming pheromones will do much to diminish it, but it can't hurt. Give your kitten some climbing alternatives like cat trees and he might be less inclined to climb on the furniture.

Yes I think so. The small bed is heavy when filled with water - maybe 30 pounds - but I could move it from one place to another in my house. I have no experience with using this bed for cats and have no idea if it is an appropriate product for them or not. However, size wise, yes, you could use a small bed for that purpose.

I would say if your cat doesn't jump high it would work great! I have 2 smaller dogs and I use it as a separator for the family room and dining area. The door works fantastic to go through.

It would hold him... The jumping up & down will hold him. My cat did not like it as it was not a firm cat stand to sleep on.

Yes. Just enough, Yes. Nice and warm, but not too hot. I drape a piece of fleece over the bed so that the front is about half enclosed, which makes for a very cozy spot. Your old cat will love it. Sounds like you treat her like a princess, just as she deserves.

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.
