Review on Armarkat B5301 53-Inch Cat Tree: Stylish Ivory Climbing Paradise for Cats by Jihye Rivera

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Sweet cat tree! Then again, my 14 lb cat still loves it. The ramp is too narrow to actually be used as the entrance to the closet.

I received the B5301 53 inch cat tree. I had no problems assembling it. My cat weighs around 13-14 pounds. It often curls up and sleeps on an upper platform, usually with its hind leg hanging down. He's not big enough to stretch out on, and he'll never be able to lie down 100% on the platform under the covers. (He uses it to spank a hanging cat toy) I've only seen him lying in the closet a couple of times - it's also too small for him so he sticks his head out. The ramp is too narrow, so he never uses it to enter the closet. During the build I really considered omitting the ramp and it's entirely possible. I put a pillow on the lowest section under the ramp and he likes to sleep down there behind the ramp. Overall I'm very happy with the purchase, it's perfect for my small apartment. If I had a larger house and bought this one, I would regret not having bought a larger model that I've been going back and forth between purchases. Also, the top tier can be rotated/rotated depending on where you want to hang the cat toy. I have mine on the corner near the 2nd level from the top platform. I moved it because my cat was uncomfortable playing with this hanging toy while sitting on top of the cabinet.

Pros
  • 100% naturally aged sisal rope wraps all poles securely for years.
Cons
  • No power
