This purchase was for my daughter's new kitten. The 6-months old kitten loves his cat tree! He is very active and needed something on which to climb and occupy him. He runs and jumps up on the lower tier bypassing the steep ladder. He likes to stretch out on the two round platforms, but his body is a little long and he hangs off of the edges. He enjoys swatting at the hanging mice and he uses the scratching posts, instead of the couch now. Great purchase and well worth the price!
