This works perfectly for my 7.5 pound, 19 year old cat. She's never been one for jumping up onto things, but she likes to be on the bed. She's always dragged herself up onto the bed, which makes me cringe, or she sleeps under it. Now she has this handy ramp. It arrived very quickly, was a snap (literally) to put together, and it looks and works great. It's sturdy, so she doesn't get nervous climbing on it. Very pleased. She loves it, and takes her naps on the bed now with no strain.
