Is this tree easy for an older cat to climb each level?

Sorry I can't really say since I don't have an older cat. If you are concerned, perhaps try something not so high.

Our 20 year old can make it to the second level without assistance. Because the tower is located near my lounger, when I extend the leg portion out, she can make it to the third level and enjoys looking out from the little house. If she wwere the only cat we had, we would have bought a tower with two levels only.

It is possible, but I find that my older cat has no interest in going up it like my younger cat.

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!

My cat is 8 and doesn't have any problems. I would think it would be ok for an older cat.

I have 4 cats. Two of them are 14, one is 12, and the youngest is 10. All are able to climb the tree to the top without difficulty, even my 14 year old who is a tripod.

My cat is about 15 pounds and often lays (upright) on the second platform, though it might be a bit small if he was sprawled out. The top level should definitely be plenty for her curled up (it is for my cat). It's a good, sturdy tree.

I can't tell you, I have never had a declawed cat. They don't need to climb. they can just jump from one level to the next.

No danger of a cat knocking it over, it has a slight a wobble to it, but it is very sturdy. My fat cat climbs all over it, and there has never been a time when it looked even slightly like it might tip over. The base is very heavy and big enough to support the weight of the tree and an active cat.

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'm in my 60's and it was pretty easy to put together, although when I first looked at all the pieces I felt a little overwhelmed. Take it slowly and follow the instructions. I know I put it together in less than an hour. I have one ten pound cat and she is absolutely gaga over it. The one I have has a total of 10 scratching posts on it, and Emily loves to scratch every one of them, sit on every level, and jump up on it from weird angles. I have a friend with a similar unit and three cats, and they love their tree too.

Yes, it is very hard. Unless your cat uses the key, the lever inside wont drop therefore it wont open.

I purchased this cat tree several years ago, and so far, no problems. I haven't noticed any problems with excessive shredding or fraying, and I have 3 active cats. This tree is much heavier than other cat trees I have purchased, and it seems to be very well made.

It's really not to hard to assemble. On the sturdiness, if you put it in a corner it's ok. If you have a very feisty kitty it could become unstable. My tree is in front of a large window and my cat loves it. She is 6 years old. Hope this helps!

No, My kitten had could climb the poles but my 15 lb cat couldn't. I moved mine next to my desk so he could climb on my desk then jump to the housing. When I called Kitty Mansion regarding this problem they were no help. They both use the housing and upper part less because no easy access

I don't know why the blue is more. I think it's worth the money. I looked on other used sites for cat trees and the used ones that weren't this nice were going for $80. This tree is solid, sturdy, and tall. The different levels make it nice. My old cat is 17 finds it easy to climb. Let me know if you've any other questions.

One thing I've learned about cats is that they are resilient. I think your cat would like it! The really cool thing about this activity board is that it's got five levels of difficulty. My cats actually started out at the easiest level, and progressed as they got bored. Even if your cat is not able to do the hardest level, I think he will enjoy the easier levels. If you notice him having troubles with the harder levels, you can just put the treats in the easier levels so you don't frustrate him. But, honestly, I don't think he'll have any problems.

It depends on the cat. Some will be fine but I would think that some would climb over it.

My cats are eleven and thirteen pounds and have really enjoyed this tree. It's solid.

I got this a few weeks ago, and have another similar one, and we have not had a problem. I was concerned that the cat would be able to get up it due to how the shelves are arranged, but she has no problem at all. It is a good tower.

I think you would be much happier getting a different one. I reviewed this cat tree. My sons cat was pretty small and she has trouble navigating it. The covering is kind of slick and our cat had trouble climbing it. I think my sons cat was 5 or 6 pounds. I wouldn't buy again.

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