About: Cat Climbing Shelf

Our Cat Climbing Shelf is a small, single-stud option that helps cats traverse their cat furniture wall. These Cat Steps are most effective when used as a way for cats to get from one piece of furniture to the next, or as a perch to sit on for a quick rest. They can be installed to the left or right of our mounting planks, making them a versatile option for creating routes to and from the next adventure or nap! The Cat Climbing Shelf can also be added to existing cat wall furniture to extend a surface or create a runway. Purchase three or more for extra savings!

Doesn't support a jump

After all the jumps and several holes done, it just broke again. Every time my cat jumps on it and are going all the way down, all the pressure just made the shelves weaker...and my cats are tiny cats compared to the normal. Some instructions or advices should be made to say how much we should distance each shelf in height. Because when you jump on something, the power generated on the shelf is a lot, and cats will generally jump on the side of it where there is no anchor. You can also on the picture how it is tilting.

Thank you for your feedback Marie-Claire, I'm very sorry that our furniture has not been able to consistently stay mounted into your wall. I will be reaching out to the email that you sent as well, so that we can collaborate on a solution that will not only hopefully help your cats get their shelves back, but also help us find more solutions for mounting these shelves.

Cat's Love Them

Needed some cat stairs to go with a previously purchased perch. The stairs were straightforward to install. (Note: The steps did not include the mini level I was expecting to be included based on the installation video, but luckily had an old picture frame level that I was able to use.) The instructions did not include any recommendations on how much height to have between steps, but I emailed Catastrophic Creations and they responded very quickly with helpful suggestions. (My house has studs at 2' instead of 18", so wanted to take this into consideration as well.)

Not stable

I’ve tried three times to use this shelf and attach it to the wall. It was meant as a step up to a larger shelf where the cat’s fold is kept. It won’t stay. She’s only about 8 pounds. I believe it needs to be affixed on both ends as opposed to just one. Anyway I’m done.

Hey Carl, We are really sorry that you have had this experience with the Shelf. A representative from our customer service team will be reaching out shortly to go over some options to amend this issue. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the product.

I love the flexibility of the designs and how beautifully they fit into my decor. Call me a crazy cat lady but I love your products and so does my herd!

Purchased cat steps to add onto our cat wall. Like our other items from Catastrophic Creations the quality is excellent and easy to install. Cats love they have another way to get down.

Stud spacing and wall construction

Most construction in the US is made up of drywall over wall studs, which are wooden or metal 2x4s that act as the frame of the wall and are what the drywall is attached to. Because these studs are very sturdy, we’ve designed the furniture to be installed into them. They’re typically spaced out at 16” from center to center, so that’s what we’ve designed the furniture to accommodate.
