This is the ULTIMATE Cat Tree! It's tall enough to provide Little Belle with a safe distance from our kids and our dog when she's not in the mood to play, and just needs some window time. The platforms are actually big enough for a full-sized cat AND it's designed not to tip over! I've never seen a Cat Tower like this for anywhere near this price! I realize I got it on sale, but I'd still be delighted with this purchase at full price! Meowy Christmas!!!
