Why Does the S83J Have Five Posts Under the Top Bed?
Single top poles flex fast. Many cat trees feature removable and washable cushions, making it easy to maintain hygiene, and picking S83J helps when older cats can’t comfortably twist or climb a height more than maybe a foot and a half.
Long breeds need stretching room. There is nothing worse than buying a cat tree only to discover once it’s home that the top beds are too small for a bigger cat to fit comfortably. The base is big enough, it looks very sturdy, and there are big, high platforms, and a removable washable top pad helps when they have several cat trees, scratch posts, treats and so many toys for them.
What Do the Two Ramps Do for Your Cat?
Dual ramps ease first steps. A cat likes to stretch and scratch on the large window sill, and a sisal ground ramp helps when you don’t need to have your cat tree double as a scratch post.
They also love to climb. Several owners bought some sisal rope to replace the worn out bits on scratching posts, and the carpet is in good shape and just seems to need cleaning in a couple of spots.
How Many Cats Can Share It?
The carpet underneath the base makes it wobbly. There should be a scratch post in almost every room, while a sisal ground ramp works well since there is also a cat condo in every room. A wider heavy base is far better than a taller base, and an oversized five-post top bed helps when you might want to make that base bigger, preferably wider than the top.
Cats are funny like that. Families had a decent one that had some removable pads that were washable and wood laminate surfaces vs carpet covered, and it still had some sisal and fur covered posts. Many owners have a cat tree that’s connected by screwing cylinders of wood to the base and platforms of the tree, and for some of the screws washers are also provided to tighten up the tree.
S83J or a Shorter Sister Model?
Most standard cat trees seem too flimsy or small. The cats like to bat at the sisal rope, and it’s been over a year since owners covered the posts with sisal rope and they’ve held up very well against sharp claws. Location matters, maybe more than the type of tree, and comparing S52F and S52E helps when owners want to get them a cat tree that will keep them away from the furniture.
| Model | Height & Levels | Posts Under Top Bed | Top Bed Size | Floor Space Needed | Recommended Cat Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Globlazer S83J | 83.0 in (8 levels) | 5 posts | 25.6 x 17.7 in | about 6.8 ft² | up to 25 lbs |
| Globlazer S52F | 52.1 in (5 levels) | 5 posts | 25.5 x 17.7 in | about 8.0 ft² | up to 25 lbs |
| Globlazer S52E | 52.1 in (5 levels) | 5 posts | 25.5 x 17.7 in | about 6.3 ft² | up to 25 lbs |
Pay attention to the return window. Some households have to have at least four of things like window perches and scratching posts, the favorite beds and boxes, and a mountain of the preferred catnip toys. The whole thing is built around a wider base so it’s not tipping over on you with S83J, and two average sized cats can comfortably play on it together with S52F or S52E when the key to a good cat tree is a stable base.
Some senior cats are much more spry than others. The rest of the scratching tree is still in a quite okay shape, and picking S83J spec page helps when flimsy cat trees wobble, wear out fast, and frustrate large or active cats. The kittens are sleeping on the cat tree. The posts look thinner and taller, and the wall strap stops tipping when it should be easy to get from one level to the next. It depends on how solid they are and how much they weigh, not a lab wobble test, and they last a long time, are very sturdy and cats love their cat trees.
