This tree is solid, easy to assemble and very well made. My Dexter is about 10 years old and a chunky 20 pounds or so. I had researched cat trees, but they were all so tall and skinny that I knew Dex would never use it. Then I saw this one, which I call the Fat Cat Tree because it's perfect for my fat cat. At first he wanted to ignore it, but using Temptations I'd sprinkle on the top tier, I finally got him to realize what the tree was for. I was sure he would never use the "hammock" part, but low and behold, he's there the most. Cats are so weird. (Excuse my messy apartment - the quarantine did nothing for my cleaning skills.) The photos are from the day he finally got on the tree. Temptations are a wonderful thing to cats!
