What took me so long to buy this cat condo? Lexie was afraid of it for a couple of days, but I persisted with cat treats to lure her to the top. Once she realized it wouldn't eat her, she loved it. It's her bed, royal throne, and observation deck to the outside world of birds, chipmunks, rabbits, and squirrels. It's sturdy and comfortable; the top platform is just the right size for her to curl up. Lexie is 13, and it takes her a moment of concentration to jump up on the lower platform. The addition of a third, even lower, platform would make it easier for her to step up into the condo.
