Questions, answered
What weight rating should I look for?
Ignore headline ratings; check perch size, post thickness, and base width. A 20-inch perch on a 24-inch base beats a 100-pound claim on a narrow tower.
Do large cats need wall anchoring?
Yes, on any tree over 48 inches. A 17-pound cat landing sideways is a serious lever; use the included strap or a furniture anchor.
Are hammocks safe for large cats?
Only XL-rated hammocks with reinforced mounts. Most budget hammocks are kitten equipment; large cats should get platforms instead.
How wide should a condo entrance be?
At least 11 to 12 inches for large breeds, with interior room to turn around. If the cat cannot turn, the condo is decoration.
