Catry Cat Scratching Tree with Plush Bowl Bed - Grey and Cream, 58 x 46 x 103 cm

The Catry Cat Scratching Tree with Plush Bowl Bed is a 103 cm scratching tree with a round plush bowl bed at the top and two step platforms below it, so a smaller or older cat can reach a high perch without one big jump.

Key Features

• Round plush bowl bed on the top post, with a raised rim to curl against.
• Two platforms at staggered heights act as steps up to the bed.
• 103 cm tall on a 58 x 46 cm base - a compact footprint for the height.
• Three rope-wrapped posts, giving a full upward stretch.
• Grey and cream plush.
• Flat-packed, with fittings and instructions in the box.

Good To Know

• It arrives flat-packed and takes an adult to build. Work through the steps in order and tighten every bolt fully, then re-check them after a few weeks and every few months after that, because climbing slowly works them loose.
• Keep cats and children away from the loose bolts and small fittings while you are building it.
• This is a tall, top-heavy piece. Stand it against a wall on a hard, level floor rather than deep carpet, and strap it to the wall with a furniture anchor if one is not supplied in the box.
• Catry does not publish a weight limit for this model. A large or heavy cat is better served by the solid platforms than by the bowl bed on the top post.
• Kittens and older or arthritic cats can struggle with big gaps between levels. Put a stool or step beside the tower, or choose one of the lower models in the range.
• Cats guard high spots. In a multi-cat home, two or three smaller perching places spread around the house usually work better than one big tower in a corner.
• Scratching is normal, healthy behaviour, not damage. If your cat is working on the sofa, stand the tower right beside the spot they are using and move it gradually once they switch. Never punish a cat for scratching.
• Rope-wrapped posts shed short fibres as they are used. That is normal and a sign the post is doing its job - vacuum around the base.
• Particle board and plush are not waterproof. Vacuum the plush and spot-clean marks with a barely damp cloth, and keep the tower away from bathrooms, balconies and anywhere it will get wet.
• A cat that suddenly stops jumping or climbing, or that will not use a tower it used to love, is often in pain. Arthritis is common in cats and easy to miss, so have them checked by a vet rather than assuming they have simply gone off it.
