Got these steps for my 18 yrs; old kitty. She’s arthritic in her hips and shoulders and needs help getting up to lay in our picture window to “Bake” in the sun. These help her to retain some of her independence. They are sturdy and the steps are not really high. I was saving them for her Christmas present. But she peeked when I opened them. LOL!! Love this for my girl. Would recommend these to anyone w/an elderly or small pet that needs help getting that extra height to climb.
