OVERVIEW
The Nermal Kitty Castle is made for the serious cat lover who wants a cat tree masterpiece for their cats just as much as for the beauty of their home.
It begins with a 30×30 base and a corner tower reaching up 4’8″ from the floor with 3 interior steps to allow your cats to spiral from the bottom to the top through an 8″x8″ access hole in the castle top. The top is 18″x18″ inside the 4″ rampart walls to 6″ at the high points. The Nermal also features a 15″ wide ladder, a 15×15 platform on top of a 1′ post, 2 18″ posts wrapped in sisal with a couch on top, and an oversized couch with drawbridge ropes. There are so many places to play, exercise, hide, and sleep.
WHAT ARE THE DIMENSIONS?
The total height is 4’8″ and total width is 33×34.
HOW MANY CATS IS THE NERMAL DESIGNED FOR?
The Nermal is designed for homes with up to 12 cats!
WHAT KIND OF CONSTRUCTION DOES IT HAVE?
The Nermal, as with every kitty condo we make, is made from only sturdy wood and fasteners and covered in high quality, plush carpet and 3/8″ sisal rope sourced from Brazil and Mexico. Every post is made from single or doubled 2x4s; horizontal flat surfaces are made from 3/4″ subflooring OSB; vertical flat surfaces for tower walls are 1/2″ OSB; other landing components are 1x4s, 1x6s, and floor joists. We never use cardboard tubes of any kind because it’s weaker than solid wood and absorbs bacteria easier. The carpet and sisal rope are secured to the wood with heavy duty staples, never glue, with a pneumatic staple gun to ensure your cat will never eat any glue or pull out any staples and get hurt. We also use wood screws instead of twist on/off hardware. We do this because the kind of hardware loosens over time and has a single point of support. Our screws go straight down into the posts at the center, then at angles from the sides to bite the grain of the wood better and ensure that the mounted landing will not loosen. People often ask if it comes apart, and our response is simple: “It doesn’t come apart, but it doesn’t come apart!” That is, it will last when others fall apart.
WHAT KIND OF PLATFORMS AND SLEEPING AREAS DOES THE NERMAL HAVE?
The 3 specific sleeping platforms on the Nermal are: the 18″x18″ inside the ramparts castle top, a couch, and a 15×15 oversized couch. Other than that are a 15×15 oversized platform, an 18″ ladder, and 3 interior 6″x14″ castle steps.
WHY IS THE NERMAL DIFFERENT?
Almost no other cat tree builder uses all wood. The posts are usually cardboard tubes lightly reinforced with wooden ends. We use wood the whole way through. Furthermore, every surface is covered with carpet or rope. If you look underneath the landings on other kitty condos, you usually see a bare surface, and that is usually cheap, crumbly particle wood covered with cheap faux fur. On the Nermal and every kitty condo we make, even the bottoms of the landings and interior walls of the tower are covered in cozy carpet. Only the base is bare except for the edges to ensure your hard surface floors don’t get scratched. On top of that, every landing that touches any other surface on the kitty condo is secured to it; so multiple anchor points produce not just a cat tree with lots of stuff, but a whole unit of strength. The Nermal is also set apart in that it’s an actual KITTY CASTLE! If your cats are of the regal sort, they need to have a proper domain. Lastly, the Nermal’s corner design makes it perfect to set up in a corner or next to your bed or couch so your cats can be with you wherever you relax.
