I have a 9-mo old 7.5 lb ragdoll and thought she would prefer the middle perch which is longer but she fit just fine at the top perch and that is the only part she uses and the scratching post. The chemical smell was so strong that my cats don't really use the cat condo, which was the reason I bought this one for. My cat doesn't like cushions and the velcros were stapled into the box and were impossible to remove without pliers. The sisal rope could be thicker/higher quality (easily frays and my cats are gentle scratchers).
