Bassano stands 157 cm on a 50 × 40 cm base. What sets it apart is the number of scratching surfaces: seven sisal posts, spread across the height rather than concentrated at the bottom.
Why seven posts changes the behaviour
A cat scratches where it happens to be, not where the post is. On a tower with one or two posts near the floor, the upper levels are simply furniture. Here a cat passes a post between almost every pair of levels, so scratching happens on the way up and on the way down, at full stretch rather than crouched. The sisal is natural.
Two caves and four resting spots
Two enclosed caves for a cat that wants to be hidden, three flat platforms for one that wants to watch, a side basket that holds its shape, and a low slung hammock. Pompoms hang from the frame at different heights.
Seven kilos per cat
The limit is 7 kg for each cat, not a total for the tower — that is the number to check against your own animal before buying, and it is more useful than any height figure.
Build
Particleboard under a plush covering, on a base plate with thickened edge strips, 16 kg assembled. Ships flat-packed at 52 × 42 × 28.5 cm with an anti-tip kit, assembly tools and an accessory bag.
Keeping it clean
Hair, dust and debris lift off the plush with a lint roller or a vacuum.
