The Catry Cat Tower with Condo, Tunnel and 2 Hammocks is a full two-metre grey cat tree with a condo, a tunnel, two cradle hammocks and a padded bed on top, built for households where the cats want real height.

Key Features

• 200 cm tall on a compact 50 x 50 cm base - close to ceiling height in most UAE apartments.
• Two cradle-style hammocks hang out from the frame at different levels, so two cats can nap at the same height without touching.
• Enclosed condo box in the middle with a round doorway.
• Tunnel at the base for hiding and ambush games.
• Padded bed at the very top, the spot most cats will claim.
• Rope-wrapped posts run the full height as scratchers.
• Wide flat platforms between the levels break the climb up.

Good To Know

• At 200 cm on a 50 x 50 cm base this is the most top-heavy piece in the range. It has to go against a wall and be strapped to it, and it should not stand on deep pile carpet or a rug that slides.
• Measure your ceiling height before ordering - the frame alone stands 200 cm, before anything sitting on top of it.
• 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.
• Catry does not publish a weight limit for this model. For a large or heavy cat, use the solid platforms rather than the hanging hammocks and bowl beds.
• 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.
