Compared to others I have used, these are small in size. I usually get larger sized ones because my cats are above average size. Also, the cardboard is not as strong, making it easy to tear up, thus the life of the lounger significantly diminishes. These will only last 2 months, 3 if I am lucky. Incidentally, I received the brand I typically used (due to 3 month backorder) and you can tell by the weight. The larger, more sturdy ones will last me at least 6 months (one for each cat). I would recommend these for a kitten or small sized cat.
