The roman leans regal. It sets your cat between two doric pillars to survey their realm, with two scratching poles, an escape hatch pathway, and a handful of hammocks for lounging in between conquests. There is plenty of surface for the claws and plenty of thrones for the naps.The multiple pathways matter beyond the theme, they let cats roam without feeling trapped, which lifts their comfort and sense of security in the condo. It suits a multi-cat home and is built for 16 inch stud spacing, so it goes up cleanly.
