The Stratus 3 Tree is three feet standard height, which makes the jump from level to level twelve inches, which is best if jumping up and down is an issue. The four foot model has a sixteen inch jump-up. The standard tree has one medium and two large dishes, which can be upgraded to two leaves, two small flowers or two large flowers. The two upper levels can have clamshells. Note that the levels spin on and off. If you have, for example, one flower or clamshell on the top, it can be switched with the middle level. If you have the clamshell on the lower level, the "roof" will be close to the same height as the top platform and the cats can play together easily. Having a clamshell on the top level will add ten inches to the height of the tree.

Certain Stratus Tree models are offered with Cedar Flats platforms. They make an excellent Outdoor Tree but, by adding sisal rope to the trunk, it can be also used indoors as a "near" hypoallergenic tree. Please refer to All Wood Products for details.

The Cloud 9 Outdoor Tree is a variant of the Stratus Cat Tree, built of western red cedar. It has flat, circular platforms and is sealed to withstand the elements. It is often used on a back patio for outdoor cats, especially inside an enclosure such as those found at www.habitathaven.com (which I highly recommend, by the way). The standard tree is five feet tall with one small (12 inch), one medium (16 inch) and three large (20 inch) levels. Selecting the tall option will extend the height to six feet, with the same five platforms as the standard model. It ships unassembled and is easy to put together when it arrives. The base has one bolt to tighten underneath, the branches drop into place and the platforms spin onto built-in bolts. An option is an extra large (24 inch diameter) top level.

With the optional Sisal Rope Upgrade, this tree can be used as a "near" hypoallergenic indoor tree. It is not for outfoor use with the sisal rope upgrade.
