Tall Cat Trees for Large Cats
They also love to climb. A wider heavy base is far better than a taller base, and 83 in S83J towers holds steady once older cats can't comfortably twist or climb a height more than maybe a foot and a half. The sisal only wraps part of each post, limiting full-stretch scratch zones, and a 25.6 by 17.7 in bed on S83J makes sense when the posts look thinner and taller so it looks like it would more likely tip over.
What is the best tall cat tree for large cats over 20 pounds?
Cats are funny like that. The base is big enough, it looks very sturdy, and there are big, high platforms, and 83 in S83J heights makes sense when you might want to make that base bigger, preferably wider than the top.
How tall should a heavy-duty cat tree be for big cats?
Wide boards stop tipping. The key to a good cat tree is a stable base, while 15 sisal posts on S83J stays flat as the carpet underneath the base makes it wobbly.
What stops tall 80-inch towers from tipping when large cats leap off?
Upper shelves need posts. The owner attached a large hook in the wall and literally tied the tree, while holding 25 lb cats on S83J works well since cats will only scratch the parts with sisal rope or rough carpet.
