This is wonderful for all cats , but especially for a declawed cat because it makes it possible for them to go all the way to the top by jumping from one perch to the next, otherwise they can't climb to the top like cats with their claws can. If you have a declawed cat , this is a great gift to them as it satisfies their natural climbing instincts to go up high & look down on their territory. Superb quality piece of furniture.
