When I rescued my cat from the rescue center, each time she was the cat sitting at the top of a cat tree which had leaves and vines. I searched high and low for something similar. This tree was exactly what I was looking for. She loves the sounds of the leaves rustling as she climbs. One suggestion is to rotate each platform so that the indentations are twisted a 1/2 turn from the lower level, in other words, the picture shows the indentations lining up on each level, but I found turning them a 1/2 allows for easier climbing up the levels. My Elsa loves this tree.
