Our kitty immediately loved the two little nooks in this tree - she's often snoozing in there. She's a little nervous about the highest post. I think we'll take that one off and put a comfy pad on the top house/cube. She likes to perch and she's smaller than most cats (only about 10-11 lbs) but it is a small tree. I would think it would be difficult for larger cats to get around. Also, while I like the textures - kinda like a vinyl and furry/carpet, the vinyl part is slippery and some cats have tufts on their paws which can make some of the jumps a little difficult for them. I would have added a little extra space on the second base for them to hop up to the other two beds. But for us, it works well.
