are scratching posts made of tight sisal and will a 13# cat fit in all parts of tower

Yes the sisal is tight and I have a 14# cat that has tried all layers. He plays with the 3 month old kitten on it and it seems pretty stable.

The sisal scratching posts are tight but I'm not sure the top platform is either stable enough or big enough for a 13# kitty. My cat only weighs about 7#'s. Her favorite place is the top platform bed and sometimes she sits on the top of the enclosed area.LCO

Yes the scratching posts are made of tight sisal, my cats use them often and so far they are in great shape. Both of my cats are over 13# and they will fit is all places, however I did put a circular bed on the high platforms to hold in the cat parts the drip over the sides. The cats don't seem to care about seeping over, but I thought it looked more comfortable with a little catch all rim...so to speak.

If by sisal you're referring to rope, then yes. My cat is smaller than your cat and she fits comfortably in the "house" without anything in it. However, I've added a folded towel against the back wall for added warmth this winter and she barely fits in it. Her little head peeks out of one of the openings. Although my cat loves to sleep on the highest perch or platform, she has to curl up to fit. The one next to it is the same size. Plus, the platforms are a bit unstable they loosen up often and twist around.

The opening for the "house" part is a nice large size and I think for sure a larger cat would fit in it. The posts are wrapped neatly and tightly with a sturdy rope. Great quality

Honestly no. My cats are 8 pounders, and the pedastal is a little wobbly. Also 12 gug is going to be a little taller and longer, SK the scratch post rope is going to be narrow, it is for my cats. The other one j looked at and wish I would have bought was armakat b5701 57 inch cat tree. Notice that the rope on the posts runs full length. And on the pic it looks like a big cat can stretch out fully on the right and use either of the levels of scratch posts....

I gave this as a gift, so I am unable to measure the top ovoid. However, I had it put together at my office and was very impressed by the quality. Further, I have a 14 year old cat that is approximately 20 lbs. and believe he would fit on the top. The person I gave the tower to has 2 cats and they love the tower. I gave him a tower last year that was poorly made and ready for the trash. I recommend the purchase of this product and think your cat will enjoy it. Lisa Moran, Tyler, TX

Yes, all the posts are wrapped with heavy twine. I assume it is sisal but really I don't know. It's thick, heavy twine about as thick as a pencil. My cats give it a good work out and they are holding up well.

I have a very large Tabby cat. He is quite comfortable in his Armakat Cat Tree. He is about the size of a French Bull Dog and weighs close to 20 pounds. Enjoy.

It's a beautiful castle although the proportions are a bit inconsistent. The tippy top of the castle part is just the perfect size for my cat (5.5 pounds) so it may possibly work for the 9 pound cat but I am doubtful for your larger cat. The side pedestal can be a wee bit flimsy but should hold either cat fine and so long as the right cushion is in the bottom part of the castle (the smaller one) your 9 pound cat will fit fine and your 14 pound cat should fit, if a bit snugly. Otherwise, the castle is very nice.

Hello Shelli..... I don't know if anyone has converted the bookshelf into a cat tower, but the construction is all wood and very substantial..... Depending on how many cats you have, I'd think the bookshelf would be an excellent cat tower..... Regards, Jim

I don't know if they do or not, I have had mine for nearly a year and my two cats have not worn any part of this cat tower out, they both love it and use the scratcher post all the time. I am a customer not the seller.

At least one of the cats regularly uses the post. Though we use the simple cardboard scratching blocks, and they both love those. We put them in front of the furniture we don't want them to scratch, then slowly reposition the blocks to areas aesthetically acceptable to my wife:) But to directly answer your question, yes, they seem to prefer the rough rope of the tree to furniture. Hope that helps!

My cat is 13.5 lbs she fits on it however I had to put duct tape around it because the plastic bows after a while. I have had mine for a long time and love it. Though I dont keep her in it much. Its a nice place for litter box and food n water dishes

I believe so. It is nice piece once we figured out how it went together lol I have 12 cats and one that is at least 14 lbs. You are good to go.

Yes, the posts are covered in sisal rope. They use double sided tape to keep it on the posts. My cats aren't declawed and it had a few years of use before the sisal started to get shredded off. Once it started to go though, it went fast on the lowest posts. The Armarkat website sells replacement posts but at $18-21 per post, it would be better to do it yourself re-roping or just buy a new tower. If you buy your own sisal, make sure its UNOILED. Oiled sisal can hurt or kill cats I've read.

I have to 12# cats, they get in and out just fine. As long we they are not terribly tall, it should be good. &#128522;

This is really made for kittens. Now that my cats are over a year old they are to big to fit in the holes and just use it for a scratching post.

Not at home to measure, but the 11 1/2 sounds about right. Was thinking, take a cake pan and adjust it to be square instead of oblong. My cat is not so big, sits or curls just right, not much room left over. It does have sides all around to assist in keeping kitty in place (like that's possible). Another commented that it was wobble.....yes it is. Not bad, but took my kitty a while to trust it. I really really like the design, the house has a patio on each side. All levels of sisal get a workout. Now aren't you sorry you asked a question?!!!

YES it is. My cats love that their favorite scratching post was re-rope with the new Sisal rope. They started using the post right away

I am sorry there is not replacement sisal for the scratching posts. They were not designed to have replacements. If you have any other questions, please contact us at tina@pioneerpet.comThank You.Pioneer Pet Customer Service
