If your cats are as agile and active as most, they might be ready for the Kitty Suite Cat Post from PETCO. This multi-level tower features three levels and enough scratching surfaces to keep your kitty occupied – and away from the back of the sofa.

The joy of the Kitty Suite Cat Post begins upon its arrival – fully assembled. As anyone who has struggled with putting together towers or jungles before might agree, this is a huge advantage for any busy owner. The post’s size, measuring 3 feet in height, is ideal for setting below a windowsill to give cats a perch for looking out at the world.

Other features of the Kitty Suite Cat Post delighted our tester felines. The post is treated with catnip, although the cats would probably have jumped on the tower right away without the extra temptation. Whatever the attraction, the post was a clear winner, with its hideout space, different levels of decks, and satisfying carpeted texture.

The only drawback to the Kitty Suite Cat Post – which is a minor drawback indeed – is that after several extended sessions of enthusiastic use, the carpet shed little pieces. But after all, better the carpet on the post than the upholstery of your favorite sofa. And at a retail price of under $65 during some online sales, this sturdy, heavyweight cat-pleaser is still a bargain.

Bottom line? For a post, a perch, an activity tower and a naptime spot all-in-one, the PETCO Kitty Suite Cat Post is a good bet.

Pros: Sturdy design; cats love the multiple levels and cozy hideaways.

Cons: Small pieces of fabric may come off after heavy use.
