Questions & Answers

7 Customer Questions

Would this slide around on a hardwood floor? I want to put it next to a bed, but am worried it would slide once the cat was on it.

Answer by Chewy • Feb 09, 2019
These cat stairs are made of cardboard, which are easy to slide around on hardwood floors.

My cat weighs 23lbs. Would this be sturdy enough for him to use daily?

Answer by Chewy • Nov 12, 2020
The Cat steps are made from thick, sturdy cardboard and can hold cats up to 25 pounds.

How difficult are these to disassemble for moving?

Answer by Chewy • Feb 14, 2019
The steps are fairly easy to disassemble. To take apart, remove tabs from the side, base and top panels.

Can you combine two of these to make a taller set of steps?

Answer by Chewy • Aug 08, 2023
These play steps do not feature an option to combine more than one set together at this time.

Functional, not fancy

Let's be honest, these aren't beautiful. I wanted a quick, cheap way for her to get on the bed and didn't want to spend $40 or $50 or more on something she would refuse to use (she's rejected stairs before, but she's more arthritic now). They were easy to put together (although they seemed a little daunting at first). The "play" aspect of it is a bit silly - it's a pretty small opening and it seems like it would probably be used for one cat to jump out and terrorize another one trying to use the stairs. I didn't buy it for the play aspect though, so it doesn't bother me that my cats both ignore that. I encouraged my elderly cat to use it by putting treats on the steps, which left little oil stains on the cardboard, so even less beautiful now. However, it worked, and she uses the steps to get on and off the bed. The younger cat also sometimes uses them even though he has no problem jumping up and down. For the price, these do what I wanted them to do.

Both of my cats have really started using this to help get up on the bed. They are young enough to still jump up but every once in awhile they use it to also get up in the window sills, which they super love. Plus I can hear them using the steps instead of when they would take a flying leap from the doorway to the bed!!!

Eva loved them. Makes getting on the bed and windowsill easier. She loves the cat cubby too. It was pretty small, but with a few cuts, I made a floor out of the extra packing material. Now she can go in all the way under the first step. Perfect purchase for her.

Good pricing for cardboard.

It was a gift! Cardboard was really steady. Cats really like holes to attack from lol.

Heyyy! What can I say! Its a cardboard box in the shape of stairs! I got it to help my ferrets climb up and down my bed because they like hanging out there. For a ferret it adds another little hide out and they aren't heavy enough to tip it over or really damage it. Might add textured fabric/tape or something so they don't slide off the cardboard lol.

Perfect for my rabbits

I bought this for my two bunnies and they love it! They love hiding inside: one of their most coveted spots.

Great for Senior Cats

I've had these steps for quite a while and they are very sturdy. My 13 yr old cat was having issues getting up on my bed and I wanted something to make it easier and not costing a ton of money. It was easy to put together and it didn't take him too long to figure out how to use the steps. He doesn't run or jump on them just takes it slow and easy one step at a time (kind of like me). He doesn't use the hidy hole - I don't think he'd fit. This is definitely a five star for "Sanders" and his human.
