Merano is a full-height indoor cat tower: 170 cm tall, on a base measuring 50 × 40 cm. Five levels sit above that base, and the climb between them is short enough at each step that a cat can go from floor to top platform without a single long jump.
Five places to rest, at five heights
The tower carries two enclosed caves — one with a single round opening, one with a wide entrance and three smaller portholes cut into the front — a deep raised basket on the upper right, a hammock slung between the lower posts, and a cushioned top platform with a raised rim along its edges. Cats choose their resting spot by height and by how enclosed it is, and Merano offers both extremes on one frame: the hammock sits low and open, the top platform sits at 170 cm, and the two caves close in around a cat that wants to be out of sight. In a two-cat household that means each animal can hold its own level.
Eight sisal posts, spread across the height
The vertical posts are wrapped in natural sisal rope in bands, alternating with plush. Because the sisal sits between the levels rather than only at the bottom, a cat passes a scratching surface on almost every stage of the climb, standing at full stretch rather than crouched at floor height.
Materials and weight
The structure is built from particleboard panels, covered in plush, with a thick particleboard base plate. Assembled, the tower weighs 17.9 kg — that mass in the base is what keeps a tall, narrow tower planted when a cat lands on the top platform from the side. The maximum total static load is 80 kg for the whole structure.
Setting it up
Merano arrives flat-packed in a box of 52 × 42 × 29 cm weighing 19.3 kg, and is assembled at home. An anti-tip kit and an accessory bag are supplied; we would use the anti-tip kit on any tower this tall, and particularly on a hard floor.
Keeping it clean
Hair, dust and debris lift off the plush with a sticky lint roller or a vacuum. The top platform is removable and washable; treat the rest of the tower as wipe-and-roller only.
