I vote for #5 repeat – my cats can hide between the steps and nap (or pounce on the next person/cat who walks by).

I love #3!

Hi there,
ALL awesome but I think no 1 with a significant amount of more depth (not height) from to back on the horizontal plane of the step would create a wider and extra hiding hole for kitty…..
Failing that being possible, then no 5 woud be the go, you would need to have space for the kitties to travel and starting all of them with a lower first rise would be best for older kitties. OR maybe you have two ranges, one for older and one for younger OR make the steps like Ikea shelving somehow that you can slide the steps on where you like height wise, gives more options….cute idea though, really XX

I think #1 is what my 18 year would go for, I’m not sure about the open floating design, although it looks way cooler, I think she’d think twice about climbing them.
February 24th, 2009 at 7:50 am
#4 Slant!
February 24th, 2009 at 8:12 am
#5 is my favorite. It looks sturdy enough to handle my big cats and has spaces for my small cat to hide and sleep.
February 24th, 2009 at 9:03 am
I love the look of #4
February 24th, 2009 at 9:21 am
I am going with #1. It looks cool and fun!
February 24th, 2009 at 9:39 am
I simply adore #3 (profile) and I know my cat Jinxie would too. He loves lounging and playing on stairs, so I’m sure these small stairs would entertain him.
February 24th, 2009 at 9:52 am
Great website! #4 is the one…
February 24th, 2009 at 10:36 am
These are lovely! #5 is my favorite. My dogs can handle the steps and my cats can hid out in between!
February 24th, 2009 at 11:18 am
I like #4, the slant. I think cats would like to sometimes go between the steps.
February 24th, 2009 at 11:38 am
Ik vote for number 3.
It has the most style! (and easy to keep clean)
February 24th, 2009 at 11:44 am
Float!!
February 24th, 2009 at 12:45 pm
My favorite is #3 – The sleek lines, with the solid wood structure seems more suited to blend with a lot of modern furniture. Well, it will suit my stuff better than the others – haha. So please make it so I can get one
February 24th, 2009 at 1:13 pm
Numbers 2 and 3 are both beautiful designs. I think #2 is my top pick. It looks like a divine modernist staircase. I love the idea of a piece of cat furniture that looks like it could be part of your house. Kudos to the designers. Love the walnut and the chrome.
February 24th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
I love #4. Very sleek and cool. But they all look good!
February 24th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
#1 is my favorite, (although I like #3 as well). #1 works for me because the metal support is minimized and the wood has an interesting look to it – it doesn’t remind me of a step-stool like the open-design models do.
February 24th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
The Float #2 is my pick, though #4 the Slant was a close second. I prefer the openness of these designs.
February 24th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
#4 – Slant! I love the retro look of this one, and also the choice of cool color and vertical grain on the steps! It would be even more awesome if these could somehow collapse and lock into place when in use, but only if it requires very minimal alteration to its total “sleek” look.
Thanks for finally coming up with these aesthetically pleasing alternatives to the standard plastic steps!
February 24th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
3 and 4 hmmm, 3 looks solid and chunky – more traditional I guess. 4 is more modern and airy, very chic. 4 I think wins becuase it is more minimal and unobtrusive, it fits very easily into modern decor complementing the sense of light and space in a room without being distracting.
February 24th, 2009 at 5:19 pm
I love #2 they appear to be floating, great for giving the illusion of not being there but is.
February 24th, 2009 at 5:42 pm
I love #4, Slant!
February 24th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
#2 Float would look awesome up against a window so kitty could climb, look, and nap!
February 24th, 2009 at 8:47 pm
I vote for #4, Slant. It’s interesting looking and kinda’ wide open and I’m sure my kitties would prefer to play and rest on this one.
February 24th, 2009 at 8:52 pm
I vote for #3
Profile looks very nice
February 24th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
I vote for #3, perfect place for Paris & Rocky to play hide n seek!
February 25th, 2009 at 1:38 am
i love #3…simple, classic, and solid. perfect!
February 25th, 2009 at 1:41 am
My vote goes to #4, Slant, very modern and airy
February 25th, 2009 at 3:28 am
They are all a vast improvement over the cardboard boxes I currently use, BUT my vote is for #4, “Slant”.
February 25th, 2009 at 7:02 am
I vote for #3, easier to clean underneath!
February 25th, 2009 at 9:07 am
Hi,
#2, I totally agree with Melissa and Rho. It’s a feast for they eye – but you’ll have to spot it first! It’s an attractive, subtle design.
February 25th, 2009 at 10:52 am
# 2 Float — modern and minimal, and multi-functional (both as steps, and as a cat ‘playground as has been mentioned by many posters)
February 25th, 2009 at 12:45 pm
#4 definitely. Clean lines with modern angle twist to it.
February 25th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
I love #1 Trace (with #5 a close 2nd)!
February 25th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
#3, Profile, is my fave!
Thanks for featuring me on your etsy faves! I love your site and will be visiting often for sure
February 25th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
My vote is for #4, Slant!
February 25th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
All are very cool-I like #4 the best!
February 25th, 2009 at 8:42 pm
My favorite is number #3 identified as Profile. The reason is really fun. I have two kitties, Twinkle and Mynx. Twinkle is a princess and smaller than the average kitty. She is the type who “glides” up stairs, pauses and then leaps to her destination. Mynx on the other hand is a bit larger than the average kitty. She is a little clumsy and kind of bounds up stairs and then bounces off the top step to reach her destination which usually results in the first half of her body making it and the “bottom” part hanging off a bit as she scampers up. (Think Baby Huey) With the Profile I wouldn’t worry about Mynx slipping through the open spaces of the Slant, Repeat and the Float. With the Trace I am afraid she (Mynx) would hit it and knock it over…the Profile just looks like a more solid piece. They are all lovely…but for my princess and my Baby Huey…it is the Profile that gets my vote!

# 1, Trace, is gorgeous!
February 26th, 2009 at 8:40 am
I’m gonna go with Slant…. or Float? Or Slant? Or Float? Actually I’m going with Float!
February 26th, 2009 at 10:17 am
I personally like #2 float the best. All are awesome though!
February 26th, 2009 at 11:40 am
I really love the float as far as style goes, but since this would most be useful for aging and geriatric pets which may have some balance issues, I wouldn’t want them to slide through the steps and so would therefore probably think the profile is the best for both style and usability. Love them all though.
February 26th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
#4, Slant. In a big way.
February 26th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
Hey, my initial favorite was slant but I prefer the wood on float so I’m going with float! They are all great though!

February 26th, 2009 at 5:21 pm
I like Slant with Float’s wood.
My vote will go to #4 (with hopes that the wood grain is customizable)!
February 26th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
I like Slant, #4. Very sleek
February 26th, 2009 at 7:38 pm
I like five. It does not shot I am stairs.
February 26th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
#1 Trace really has a nice subtle floating illusion. The framing of the stairs have a nice hollowness/airy feel to them.
February 27th, 2009 at 9:27 am
Love the diagonal lines of #4, but am still drawn to the illusory effect of #2.
