Conegliano is 159 cm tall on a 50 × 40 cm base, and it carries eight sisal posts — enough that scratching happens throughout the climb rather than only at floor level, which is where most towers put their single post.
A rope as well as posts
A climbing rope runs alongside the posts. Cats that ignore a wrapped post will often take to a rope, because it moves and has to be gripped rather than simply leant against — it is the difference between a scratching surface and a climbing problem.
Two caves, both large
40 × 40 cm and 40 × 30 cm — roomy enough for a big cat to turn round inside rather than reverse out. Above them, three platforms and a high basket of about 30 cm, so a cat can choose between being covered and being able to see.
Seven kilos per cat
The limit is 7 kg for each cat — the figure worth checking against your own animal.
Setting it up
Components are labelled with serial numbers — on a tower with this many parts, that is the difference between an hour and an afternoon. An anti-tip kit and an assembly bag are supplied. Ships flat at 42 × 42 × 31 cm, 15.6 kg, for a 14.5 kg tower.
Care
Particleboard under plush, on a thickened base. Hair and dust lift off with a lint roller or a vacuum.
