Yes I think it would work for that..it would be a little steep but a cat would have no problem with that...I use mine so the dog can get in and out of our SUV as he is handi cap and can not jump it works well for that too...the only problem I have found with it is that when it is raining it is too slick even with the non slip coating, I hav a cat and just tested it for you with the countertop and my cat went up it with no problem...my cat is 14 and not as able to do the things yunger cats can do, I actually have a cat staircase leading to the counter for him

It might - it would be somewhat steep, but doable for a cat, although the ramp itself is not small and would take up a fair amount of room.

This item does not have any way to hold it in place. It was too unsteady for my 80 lb dog. Also it is large and difficult to muscle in place. I would look for another product.

It would work for your cat but it is fairly sturdy and any dog under 100 lbs could use it too.

Just went out and put it up aganist a 36" work bench. It winds up meeting the floor about 5' from the counter. Looks pretty steep to me but I think a cat could use it. Not a cat person so I'm not sure. But look at your space and make sure you don't mind having somthing that takes up that much room in your area. Hope it works out for both you and your feline friend.

I am not familiar with how high cats jump. But I have a golden and he stands next to it on his two legs and puts his other two on top and he barely clears the topwith his shoulders.. I love that you can walk thru. But there are spaces which a cat would probably squeeze thru.

I would say if your cat doesn't jump high it would work great! I have 2 smaller dogs and I use it as a separator for the family room and dining area. The door works fantastic to go through.

I have a very active Yorkshire terrier who is 8 pounds. I have had no problems with it withstanding his leaps up the stairs onto his cedar chest to look out a window. I have it at 13 inches high. It appears to be made out of studier recycled plastic, easy to put together and has carpet treads on the steps which are removable. the carpet allows them to get a grip on the steps as they go up and down. this will probably handle it for your cat. If you want a higher one they make it with an additional step added. It also supports more weight. I think the one I have goes to 25 lbs.

depends on if you are measuring the top part or the bottom. The bottom is a hair bigger then the top. Also, the sides are slightly rounded which causes different measurements depending on where you measure. I will just say its not enough for 2 normal size cats.

Absolutely....Our overweight cat jumps to the very top. He also gets on the sink for water. We have three cats....they love this climber. The ropes are great for scratching. (Guess it won't work for a clawless cat!) Have fun!

I got this a few weeks ago, and have another similar one, and we have not had a problem. I was concerned that the cat would be able to get up it due to how the shelves are arranged, but she has no problem at all. It is a good tower.

Yes, I am 99.9% sure it can, and the openings to get through should be fine. It is a nice tower for them. I had a 25lb. cat own me (grin) that would have been fine on it if things had been better for him. My current owner (cat) is on it a lot, but the scratching post part isn't as appealing as I thought.If you are considering a high end purchase for them, if you haven't looked into it, look into the Litter Robot...it'll be good for all of you. Be well, and I hope that helped.

We started out with it flat on the floor and used treats to get our dog to go over it. a few times doing that and she will go right over it now when it is flat. We raised it up on the end about 8-10" (about 1 step height) and did the same. So far any higher than that is a slow go due to gaps in training time and finding a way to keep her from diving off the side as soon as she snags the treat.

If your cat will drink out of an elevated bowl it will be perfect. Our dog was a little hesitant because it was new but a few treats in the bowl changed his mind.

I do not use mine for cats. I have two dogs, one is 12 lbs and the other is 46 lbs. It works great and it only really takes one - two times for them to step on it to learn a lesson. As the details tell you, if you are using it to stop a room entry, use the bigger wider one. Again, I'm so glad I purchased this item.

If you have it on the counter and the cat is on the floor it don't seem to affect my cat but he don't even get on the table which is about 15 feet away, but my other cat does get on table and it don't affect him perhaps since he is an older cat about 13 years he may not hear it. Hope that answer your question!

I think it would work for small dogs - I have 1 cat that banged at it to get the food which can be hard on the feeder. However, both cats hear that sound of it turning to the food and run to it. I really like it.

My cat's are fully grown and lay on it all the time. My mother-law's cat wouldn't climb it. One of my cat's is very small and the other is average, but there seems to be extra room even when he lays on it. They can lay meatloaf style on the 2nd shelf from the top together...

Absolutely it will! The food may fill up the top bowl and the bottom, but you can fit two cups of food in this thing. As the food disappears, the cats have to "play" a little more to get to their tasty morsels.

We have a dog about that same weight. He did not like to use these steps because of the sloped steps. I don't think your cat's weight would be any problem, but I don't know how cats feel (psychologically) about going up/down sloped steps. As for dimensions, they're 17" deep, 14" wide, but the height varies, For the first step, the front edge is 5" high and the back edge is 6.5" high. The top step is 11.5" at the front edge and 13" high at the back. Hope this helps!

I did not use if for that reason, however I do use it to keep the cats from the bird when I'm not home..... An agile cat could jump this gate if it wants to. My suggestion would be to use this on the bottom and place another baby gate on top of it to make it too tall to jump. I've had to do that as well. Good luck. I hope the cats become fast friends.
