Lovere is built from pine — solid timber, not board under fabric — on a base plate 3 cm thick, and it stands 157 cm on a 50 × 50 cm square footprint.
Eleven-centimetre posts
This is the number that separates Lovere from everything else here. A typical scratching post measures 5 to 7 cm; these are 11 cm across. A thick post does not give when a cat sets its claws and pulls back with its whole weight, and that resistance is exactly what a cat is looking for. Eight of them, wrapped in sisal.
A brush at the base
Long bristles, fixed at cat height, so an animal grooms itself against it on the way past. Loose hair ends up on the tower instead of on your furniture, and nobody has to hold the cat still.
Five levels, and a cave with windows
Three raised platforms — the top one 48 × 28 cm — an enclosed cave with openings cut in its sides, and a mesh basket. The windows matter: a cat inside can watch the room without giving up its cover, which is the compromise most cats actually want.
Ten kilos per cat
One of the highest per-cat limits in the range, and it fits the build: pine, a 3 cm base and 11 cm posts are what let the tower carry a large animal. A plush ball hangs from the frame.
The cushions wash
Start gentle. Assembly uses a supplied Allen key. Ships flat at 57 × 57 × 33 cm, 23.7 kg; the weight in that box is the timber, and it is the reason the tower stands still.
