The Catry Cat Tower with Condo, Tunnel and 2 Hammocks is a 171 cm grey cat tree that packs in a condo, a full-size tunnel, two cradle hammocks, a hanging rope and a sisal roller down at floor level.

Key Features

• Large horizontal tunnel mounted in the frame - usually the first spot taken by cats that like to sleep enclosed.
• Two cradle hammocks on opposite sides, so two cats can rest at the same height without touching.
• Enclosed condo with a round doorway.
• Rope-wrapped roller lying at floor level, for cats that prefer to scratch horizontally.
• Knotted rope hangs through the middle of the frame for climbing and pulling.
• 171 cm tall on a 55 x 55 cm base, with flat platforms and a top perch with a dangling pompom.
• Flat-packed, with fittings and instructions in the box.

Good To Know

• Measure your ceiling height before ordering - the frame alone stands 171 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.
• 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. 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.
