The 3 pads at the top are way to small for my average size cats to sleep on. I had to use the previous ones from the previous tree, since those were slightly bigger. Why do they make them so small? Cats legs are hanging over, when sleeping. You would think they would make them a bit larger. And one of the post, the white ropes is too loose, not tight enough, it's only a matter of time before is comes completely unraveled. I prefer the quality of the previous brand I purchased.
