At what intervals should the STEPS cat steps be attached to the wall?

The ideal height depends on your cat—their age, mobility, and confidence. As a rule of thumb, a stretched-out cat's length above the floor is a good starting point. If you prefer to be more precise, 16–28 inches above the floor or other furniture is optimal.

How much weight can the steps bear?

Our cat steps are real little powerhouses and can hold up to 8 kg – ideal for normal-sized and agile cat breeds such as British Shorthairs, Burmese cats, Russian Blues, Siamese cats, or Turkish Angoras. If your cat is a little heavier or likes to jump high, we recommend our XL climbing steps. These can hold up to 12 kg. Please note: The load capacity also depends on the wall structure. The steps are particularly secure on stable concrete or brick walls.

Will my wall even be able to support STEPS?

A very valid question—because the condition of the wall determines the stability of STEPS. It is completely secure on concrete or solid stone walls. For older buildings or plasterboard walls, we recommend asking for suitable wall plugs at your local hardware store. Good to know: High-quality standard wall plugs and screws are included with every order.

Can I exchange the STEPS for the STEPS XL?

Yes, you can replace the STEPS with the STEPS XL at any time. The drill holes are identical, so you don't need to drill new ones.

Ready, set, climb! The STEPS cat stairs for your wall are as delicate as they come – and at the same time a sturdy adventure playground for your cat.

What we love about it:

The STEPS climbing steps make it easy to create a vertical playground. Your cat gets far more room to move, without the delicately designed climbing steps taking up any space of their own.

Highlights

Reach everything. Lofts, ledges, window sills, cupboards: cats aim high! The climbing steps make it easy for them to get from A to B.
More movement. By turning your wall into a climbing surface, your cat instantly gets more room to move – making even small spaces feel just right for an indoor cat.
Pure variety. Young cats especially crave variety during their active hours. Turn your wall into a new playground and boost your cat's love of play and movement!
Simple design. We designed our STEPS to be as delicate as possible, so you don't have to "clutter" your walls. Your cat has fun, and you get to keep things looking good.
For every breed of cat. We recommend the regular STEPS for light to medium-sized cats up to 7 kg, and the extra-large STEPS XL for heavier, bigger cats up to 10 kg.

Description

For cats who want to climb high.

LucyBalu's minimalist climbing aid for cats fits into any home. Cats want to climb high! Looking for a way to bridge bigger distances without cluttering your walls? Then our STEPS are exactly what you need. Even large, heavy cats can move freely on the delicate STEPS steps – we make them from especially sturdy metal for that reason. But don't cats slip on smooth steps? Not at all! Animal-friendly design matters a lot to us, since we originally developed our products for the Munich animal shelter. Our cat steps have rounded corners, for example, so cats can't hurt themselves. And the anti-slip powder coating with its light texture gives your cat great grip. If the climbing steps still feel too "slippery" or too plain for your taste, you can add the included PADS.

The floating staircase for cats, mounted on the wall.

Expand your cat's room to move with barely any visible change to your living space! The minimalist design of the STEPS keeps things clear and elegant. At the same time, just a few steps (often just one is enough) create a connection from the floor to a lounging or climbing surface. The STEPS are sold in a set of 3 and can be freely combined – for example with our SWING hammock, STRAIGHT lounging shelf, or WAVE climbing aid.
