The Photoshopped cats must be scaled down because my kitty can barely fit on the platforms and condos. He's basically average sized (10 lbs) and has trouble lying down or hiding on/in any part of this.  The only exception is the base, but he has to crouch to get on that portion.

I think this would be better suited for kittens than full grown cats, but I guess you get what you pay for.  I avoided buying a more expensive cat tree from a pet store because I thought this one was a good deal and similarly designed based upon the photos....it's not. I should have gone with the more expensive one.
