The Catry Cat Tower with Hooded House, Tunnel and Condo is the tallest tree in the Catry range at 216 cm, finished in black and beige, with a hooded house at the very top, a barrel tunnel halfway up and an enclosed condo on the round base.

Key Features

• 216 cm tall on a round base 69 cm across - taller than a standard interior door.
• Hooded house at the top, covered on three sides, so a cat can be tucked away and still watch the room.
• Barrel tunnel mounted mid-frame.
• Enclosed condo at the bottom with a cushion inside.
• Rope-wrapped posts and rope-bound uprights run the full height.
• Hanging rope and a ball finial for play.
• Black plush with beige rope and trim - the only dark finish in the Catry range.

Good To Know

• 216 cm is taller than most interior doors, so measure your ceiling before ordering. A tree this tall must be strapped to the wall: a cat landing hard on the top house puts a lot of leverage on a 69 cm base.
• 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.
• The dangling toys are for supervised play. A cat that chews and swallows string or pompom fibres can get a dangerous gut blockage, so check the toy regularly for fraying and cut it off if yours is a chewer.
• Check the condo doorway against your own cat before ordering. A large adult over roughly 6 kg, or a very fluffy cat, may find the openings a tight squeeze.
• 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.
