#2 Float! because its so simple and clean yeti can imagine jade laying on one of the steps purring the day away
February 23rd, 2009 at 3:31 pm
I’m a fan of #4 – Slant. I love the wood finish and the overall look. Very elegant.
February 23rd, 2009 at 3:37 pm
Although I love the look of the slants, my dachshund would most likely prefer #1.
February 23rd, 2009 at 3:38 pm
no. 4 slant looks like the best choice to me. easy to use and move and easy to keep clean.
February 23rd, 2009 at 3:43 pm
#4, I love angles and the space behind and through the stairs would make a great new place for my twins to play through.
February 23rd, 2009 at 3:46 pm
I have to go with #4!
Very clean design. Simple,
elegant, and not too bulky.
February 23rd, 2009 at 3:49 pm
#5 Repeat
February 23rd, 2009 at 3:50 pm
Having a cat blind in one eye, I must vote for #5. When she started looking her sight, anything like 1 & 3 would have been imposible for her to tell where each step started and stopped.
February 23rd, 2009 at 3:56 pm
We love Slant! (#4)!!!! We would definitely run up & down those stairs as often as possible if they were in our home! Plus, they match all the other cool “step” designed furniture we have to play on around here!
Thanx, Sami & Brini (dictated, but not read)

I vote for Profile. Some other colors would be nice, too.
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:02 pm
I think my cats would like #4. Looks fun to pay on too.
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:03 pm
I like #5 … Repeat! It will look equally nice as a perch in the living room or as a step by the bed.
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:04 pm
#2; it’s clean, the negative spaces are beautiful and it could double as a footrest for the humans!
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:12 pm
I think my cats would like #4 – not only easy to climb, but they can also attack each other from underneath while the other attempts to climb up.
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:29 pm
I vote number 2 it looks the most modern
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:30 pm
I like number 2
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:39 pm
I really like the look of #4 (Slant). Looks like it’s easy to climb, and with the open back, kitties can whack passing siblings as they climb the stairs.
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:41 pm
Float me away! The float design is very sleek and minimal. I love it!!!
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:44 pm
#4 SLANT — very nice — I am hoping that none of the corners are sharp, since I hate running into sharp corners in the night (if used w/ a bed)
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:46 pm
All are very elegant. I think #2, “Float”, would be well received by the cats (and dogs) in my life.
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:52 pm
I think #2, Float, has the best design — simple and clean.
Although I also really like the style of #5, Repeat, all those little nooks between the stairs look like they’d be a pain to clean dust and hair from.
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:56 pm
#2
But really, I love them all.
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:57 pm
# 2
So cool!
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:05 pm
#2 for me. The others look interesting, though. Repeat on the other hand looks like it will be a bugger to clean. Simple, modern, but very beautiful goes to number 2. =]
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:08 pm
#1 really is super mod. Mmmhmm.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:12 pm
I really like # 3. It’s looks a bit safer than the other stairs. It has very clean lines.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:18 pm
I like no. 4. the slant stairs. Looks like it the step could be a good sleep spot for kitty.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:31 pm
#4 Slant
Based on two reasons – 1st & foremost is whether or not a pet can USE these stairs. I think out of the five, #4 has the lowest rise (needed for arthritic & elderly animals).
2nd – It is stylish; looks good
It would look good in my home also! hint…hint.
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:49 pm
I vote for #2 The Float…functional, attractive and cats can have fun hiding underneath it and popping out to surprise their littermates!
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:52 pm
I say #3
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:55 pm
Another for Slant (#4), followed closely by #2. Because the steps are open, they remind me of cat perches!
February 23rd, 2009 at 6:02 pm
#2 is beautiful
February 23rd, 2009 at 6:17 pm
4
February 23rd, 2009 at 6:27 pm
#4! It looks like the steps might be a little wider than the others- nice places to lounge. Its also very attractive.
February 23rd, 2009 at 6:34 pm
This took me a minute. I do like all of them, especially number 2. But for over-all design and function I choose #4 It is the only one that has any sort of traction or something to dig your claws into, if need be. I figured most people who buy pet steps are for animals with disabilities or are in their golden years. So safety is the most important element in my decision making process.
February 23rd, 2009 at 6:47 pm
#2 – Looks classy and modern, and the kitties will also enjoy batting each other between the steps, or randomly diving through the tiny space in ways that defy physics.
February 23rd, 2009 at 7:01 pm
#2 – clean, elegant, architectural
February 23rd, 2009 at 7:13 pm
Big fan of #3 Profile!!! Nice and clean!
February 23rd, 2009 at 7:18 pm
I like no. 4. the slant stairs
February 23rd, 2009 at 7:28 pm
The Trace steps #1 look like the most fun. I’m sure a couple of my cats would end up hiding toys in it and giving them even more enjoyment than just steps. This would be my favorite.
February 23rd, 2009 at 7:41 pm
Definitely #1. The others are just lacking in some way….too many ways for me to get my foot caught in those things near the bed….scary.
February 23rd, 2009 at 7:49 pm
#4 takes it for me…nice dynamic lines
February 23rd, 2009 at 8:23 pm
I vote for slant #4!
February 23rd, 2009 at 8:30 pm
These stairs are a fantastic idea! I’m looking forward to the product availability.
My vote is for 3. Profile. Because it’s such an iconic stair shape, it has a clean, modern presence. I could see it being repurposed as a side table or plant stand, even.
Products 2 and 4 don’t look as clean in design to me, and I positively dislike product 5 because of the fussy layers and inner white laminate. Product 1 has an interesting color and pattern of wood, but the back looks unfinished to me.
February 23rd, 2009 at 9:08 pm
I like number 5 – looks easy to climb yet practical. Functional, too!
February 23rd, 2009 at 9:21 pm
#4…the slant model is by FAR my favorite model!
February 23rd, 2009 at 9:26 pm
I like #4 Slant. It’s a nice modern design but most important is it’s funcionality and comfort of use for elder pets. It seems to have less hight from the floor to the first step and between steps plus more surface space to each step making it more comfortable and safe for an elder pet to use. I’ll love to have one for my 2 15 year old cats.
February 23rd, 2009 at 10:03 pm
I like #3 the best. It has solid, bold, contemporary lines and looks safest. The other choices seem to have more sharp edges and nooks for rambunctious cats to get hurt on.
February 23rd, 2009 at 11:53 pm
#3, the profile! It’s close though, they are all sleek and creative.
February 24th, 2009 at 2:08 am
They are all pretty neat. #2 is my fave.
