I have two cats and my petite girl can fit on this but my big Ragdoll boy looks very uncomfortable when he tries to sit on it. He mainly just uses this to leap onto when playing. He also uses the rope sides for a scratching post but has pretty much destroyed one side of it with his vigorous scratching. It's probably fine for smaller cats but wasn't really the best choice for me. I do like the color because it hides the cat hair.
