1. 62536
2. 62551
3. 62561

Hi, Silva!

Here are my thoughts:

62536 - I have this cat tree and my furkids love it. It is, without question, their favorite (I have five cat trees).

62551 - Ok, some cats use the cup, some don't.
62561 - Just not groovin' on that style.
62568 - Meh.

This is the one I have: Armarkat Cat tree 74"
On your website, the item is # 62541

It is on deal now for $118 and my cats LOVE it LOVE it LOVE it!!! Use it all the time!
I've had it for over a year now, and even with Bugsy jumping on it at full speed (almost 20lbs), it still looks like new (minus all the fur )

I choose 36, but take a look at 538 - I think its even better.

That's a better price and free shipping too! Adding that to my amazon wishlist and will hope that the price is the same or similar at the end of September (when we move, want it shipped to the new place).

538 is nicer, more $ though. I'll keep that one in mind

I have 63551 in my living room.

I got it off of ebay for like 70 or 80 dollars (that included shipping).
I have one crazy cat, she is small, but rough. It has held up well.

We have 62543 (4 weeks so far).
http://www.stepsforpets.com/62543.htm

We adopted Kunik 4 weeks ago, and he LOVES this tree. We have it next to the window. his fav spot is the very top tray, and the little house (enclosed area). He has his claws and uses the stretching posts a lot. he likes playing with the dangling balls that came with the tree. When he is in the little house and if he's purring, it echoes

Tallulah has been here 2 weeks, and hasn't been up on the tree much as she likes being right next to me instead. Plus Kunik was a little protective of his tree! But the past couple of days she has gone up to lay on top of the enclosed part.

Nobody has gone into the hammock yet! Kunik sometimes plays with the rope. When the cats jump onto the tree, it does wobble a bit, but not enough to make it fall over.

It was fairly easy to put it together with my husband. We're very glad we got the tree!

We have almost the same one Carolina has, but I'm thinking about uninstalling the lower ramp, because I've never seen anyone use it, and it's just in the way! The only difference on ours is that instead of 3 perches on top, one of ours is a basket type perch (supposedly more comfy for seniors), but I don't see it out there on the website you gave. Think we got ours from Amazon or Overstock.

Anyway, I like this one better, because the top perches actually have sides on them to keep the cats from falling off (I think it makes them feel safer way up there )

Those ones with the tubes (62561) are a waste of time (the high up tubes) because, truthfully, they can't get in or out of them. We had one on ours and one cat tried to jump in, and had to be rescued. So down it came, and now it's a cat toybox.

Does your kitty use the hammock?

Thats what i thought about that lower ramp or the ramps in general. I can just see Neko jumping over them ; plus, the sunroom isn't that big and we want to also fit a computer desk there. Thanks for the info about the tubes!

Yes, the lower ramp doesn't get used here either, but the one in the middle actually does - all the time...

no lower ramp usage here, either - in fact, i don't think they use ANY of the ramps!.
but Pixel's almost 13 - she may use the ramps when she gets older.

Same here, middle ramp seems to always have a cat on it! Don't know why. We thought our senior would like that ramp, and he's the only one who DOESN'T use it!!
