Varenna is 170 cm on a 60 × 40 cm base, and it is one of only two towers here with a tunnel — in this case a vertical one, so a cat climbs up through the structure rather than around its outside.
A route inside the tower
An enclosed vertical passage does something an open post cannot: it gives a cat a covered way up, and a place to stop halfway where nothing can see it. Cats use it at speed, and they wait in it.
Five levels, deliberately different sizes
60 × 40 cm at the third level for lying fully stretched, 50 × 40 cm at the fifth, and two narrower 24 × 40 cm platforms that work as steps between them. On top, a nest of 40 × 40 cm with a 10 cm rim.
Two condos, two shapes
One square, one round, with a 20 cm circular entrance on the square one. Cats have preferences about corners — some want them, some avoid them — and having both shapes on one tower covers either. A round hammock of 30 cm and a 33 × 20 cm ladder complete the arrangement.
Posts 6.3 cm across
Thick enough not to give when a cat sets its claws and pulls. Three balls hang from the frame.
On the weight limit
The limit is 5 kg. Read it conservatively, as 5 kg per cat, and if you have a large animal, choose a model with a higher per-cat figure.
Setting it up
50 minutes for one person, on a reinforced 60 × 40 cm base with an anti-tip strap supplied. Particle board under 100% polyester plush with PP cotton padding.
