Bonassola is 75 cm tall and takes up 55 × 30 cm of floor — roughly the footprint of a bedside table. It is designed as a small piece of furniture rather than a climbing frame, and it suits a flat where a two-metre tower is simply not going to happen.
Two caves, stacked, at cat level
Each about 30 × 30 cm, one above the other, with arched door panels covered in sisal — so the way in is also something to scratch. Windows are cut through them in the shape of a train carriage, which is a design choice rather than a function, but it does mean a cat inside can see out from more than one angle.
A basket on top, and a platform that lifts off
The high basket sits above the caves, and the 40 × 30 cm top platform is removable — useful for cleaning, and useful if you want the tower lower still.
Three toys, one of them on a spring
Two pom-poms that swing, and a spring-mounted ball that pushes back against a swipe. On a low tower where there is less climbing to do, the play elements matter more.
Five kilos per cat
This is the figure to check. Bonassola is rated for smaller cats — kittens, and adults up to 5 kg. If you have a large cat, look at a heavier model instead; height is not the constraint here, load is.
Setting it up
30 to 40 minutes for two people, with serial-numbered components, an anti-tip kit and an accessory bag. Ships flat at 43 × 32 × 18.5 cm for a tower of roughly 7.8 kg. The wooden board wipes with a cloth; the plush takes a lint roller or a vacuum.
