We have three kittens under 6 months of age and a very senior cat. We bought a 57" Faux Fleece Cat Tree in Ivory for the first kitten. After three weeks we adopted two more kittens. We liked the first cat tree so much that we bought another. The two are placed close enough so that the kittens can run around and leap from tree to tree. They also use all of the poles as scratching posts saving our furniture. We use the higher landings to feed the cats, keeping the food away from our two dogs. In all we are very pleased with our purchase.
