I have 4 year old bengal x and a kitten bengal Scottish fold x, they are very active, energetic and love to play and climb. On top of that i have lovely high ceilings in the house. My last wall to ceiling cat tree was not able to do the job and i needed a serious alternative. Otherwise i end up buying a replacement every 8 months and worrying about if and when it is going to topple. So I brought the RHR tree and I am very glad I did. Its built to last, is perfectly able to provide support at higher ceiling range and remains stable! I'm not worried about it falling anymore! Such a relief. The extender is metal and not plastic with metal spring like other brands which makes a difference. Highly recommend to a household with lively cats! The only thing I'd love that it doesn't have is a platform that circles the sisal pole entirely as my cats love running around the pole on such platform like maniacs.
