How high is the lowest platform from the ground? I have an older cat that can't jump very high. My younger cats would love the higher ones!

It's 14 1/2 inches to the top of the bottom platform. I have 2 cats that are 14 and they act like kittens on it. They all love it and so glad I bought it for them. They really enjoy scratching it, climbing to the top and nap on it too. Can watch the birds out the window.

The bottom is only one inch, next up is about 11 inches, then next up is about 25 inches, then up next is about 35 inches and then next up is about 44 inches and then top is 65 inces. i measured each one from the floor.

From the floor the first landing is 11 inches, the next....14" from that 11" one .....next 9 1/2 and the top is 20 1/2 . It is a great cat tree and my sweet little black cat loves it. It took a few days for her to 'think about it'... but now loves it. I hide treats on it and when she wants a treat she head for the tree... It was well worth the money and very attractive as well.

The lowest platform is 11" off the ground. It has a nice size for a cat to perch. You'll love this tree - and so will your cats!Note - in reading the other comments, I'm thinking that some of us are talking about different trees. Mine is the pale blue (very pretty) one, and every support pole is also a scratching post. The size is 38"(L)X24"(W)X66"(H).

Hi, The cat tree stands on a main platform and from that is 10 inches but 11 inches from the floor.

I would be hesitant and I'll tell you why. The base and scratching posts are very solid - no complaints about that. However, the U-shaped platform at the top and the lower platform that curves upward, are not nearly as solid as the rest of the piece and sure enough, those are the areas where a cat would typically sit. The U shaped platform at the top is OK, but the lower platform is very weak in my opinion. (And I'm not really sure what purpose the upward curving of the lower platform serves anyway - my cats have never scractched on the outside of that section.) If your cat doesn't put any weight on that area, it might be ok. BUT, if your 20# cat puts weight on it, I think it might break pretty quickly. I bought this for 5 foster cats - none of whom are over 8#. The smallest kitten who is about 4# jumps on the top of that lower curved platform and the entire thing shakes. I've had it for about 10 weeks and nothing is broken so far (except the toy). One other FYI that comes to mind - the removable "cushion" is just 2 pieces of plush fabric sewn together - there is no cushioning inside. Whatever you decide, I hope you find one that works great for you and your kitty!

No! The middle perch is barely large enough for a cat to use as a step to the high perch. My cat is 8 pounds and this is really too small for her. She uses the high perch but only because I set up another type of step for her to reach it. The thing is barely usable.

I really bought this for my dog who had back surgery, but I also have 2 - 11-year-old cats that use it. One of them likes to also use it for a scratching post. It is steep, but I don't think your cat would have a problem getting up it. There is a resting "step" at the top big enough for a cat to sit on. I have longer ramps, but this one is nice because it takes up less room. It is lightweight enough for you to easily move, but my pets have not moved it going up or down.

From the floor to the highest point it is 44 inches tall. My cat has enjoyed this and I have had it now for 1 and a half years still in very very good shape! Hope this helps!

The distance from floor to middle of lower bed is approx 18 inches. From floor to corner is 21 inches. Hope this is helpful. My cats love this cat condo as they like the tall bed but jump from lower level to get to top.

We have 2 cats which total close to yours and they both run and leap off of ours frequently. It would most certainly need to be anchored somewhere, either the floor or a wall, to prevent it from tipping. Each post has a 2" bolt which holds it to the post below or above, plastic wrapped in carpet/cord. The steps would not hold up however. They are only held by a single L bracket at the top. A screw through the bottom or an extra bracket on the top would help but you need to be careful that you don't leave anything exposed that would cut the cat.

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

Yes they can. The lower platforms are set up in a way that your cats can jump from them to the house.

My cats are 2 and 3. The 3 year old is a pretty big cat so he just goes from level to level. My little cat just takes a leap. The one I have is the one with the house in the middle!

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

Yes - it is safe to jump onto from below. We have an older cat, so we have an armchair not too far from the cot to help her jump from the armchair to the cot. I'm not sure what you mean by' is it safe to climb?' The idea is that the cot will be a place your cat will enjoy perching in - and our cat certainly does!

I'm not sure the weight of my cats, but they are large adult cats, probably around 10 pounds, and they fit on there fine. They don't lay on the platforms but they do hop up there to sit and play.

No, I had to return this as it was unstable and none of my cats were interested in attempting to use it. It also hung low to the ground, I think small light kittens fare the best chance, large cats the worst. Recommend skip purchase.

I guess it depends on the size of your cat and how high they can jump. My cats cannot get throught the bars but can jump it easily. I don't think there is a gate out there they couldn't jump over though. It would have to be at least 4 feet high and that might not even be enough.

I have two cats - total weight 16 pounds. It is fortunate that the cat tree is against a wall as they tend to push off it when they get rambunctious. It would surely topple over if not for that. I have had to retighten the screws as they have come loose so keep that key handy. Otherwise plenty sturdy for holding weight (I just sat on it to be sure!). Just wish it had a broader base for when they jump off.

It depends on how nimble your cat is. I have 2 larger cats (15 or so pounds), and they have not jumped it.
