The Catry Cat Tower with Condo and Round Perches is a 101 cm grey cat tree on a round 59 cm base, with a condo underneath, three round perches set at different heights and a long oval bed on top.

Key Features

• 101 cm tall on a round base 59 cm across.
• Enclosed condo at the bottom with an arched doorway.
• Three small round perches at staggered heights, so a cat can pick a level instead of being pushed to the top.
• Long oval bed on top with a raised lip to lean against.
• Rope-wrapped posts link the levels and double as full-stretch scratchers.
• Dangling pompom toy at the top.
• Flat-packed, with fittings and instructions in the box.

Good To Know

• The round base takes up less floor area in a corner than a square one, but it is also narrower. Keep this model against a wall.
• 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.
• 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.
