Pros & cons

Pros

  • Vesper Base series page: High Base XL is 62.2 × 22.8 × 30.5 in, 5 stories, hideaway plus lounging platforms, walnut-laminate look, extra-long seagrass posts, sisal pad, memory-foam cushions, replaceable parts, hex key for the Base family.
  • Help & advice, assembly video/manual, and spare-parts pages are live for High Base XL on catit.com.
  • Currently listed (not discontinued) on the U.S. English Catit furniture catalog.

Cons

  • Footprint 22.8 × 30.5 in is enough for the ≥500 sq in band, but Catit does not publish a cat-weight cap or a wall-anchor kit on this SKU.
  • No extra-thick / Giant-scale posts. Tall and serviceable is not the same as large-breed platforms.
  • No list price on catit.com.
