At first my little Foxy was hesitant about this bed ramp. She sniffed and sniffed trying to figure it out. Finally she saw my older cat walk up it. She took it slow but finally made it to the bed! Finally I don't have to bend down and pick her up. But, now she's on the bed all the time! It was a lot of fun watching her get used to the cozyup bed ramp. It is very well made and can work for large dogs too, ask my Alaskan husky.
