I bought this for my 18 year old male cat, named Jetty, because we were noticing how hard it was for him to get to the height where he could comfortably see what was going on in the kitchen, where he spends most of the day while we are preparing food. 

Within a day of it being in our home, it was clear that it had become his favorite place to be and funny enough even when we were not in the room with him. 

This was a great purchase and since then we have purchased on other to make life a little more perfect here for him.
