I'm starting to look for used boards for my first season since there are lots of deals on Facebook marketplace and local stores right now. My "recommended" size range is 148-151cm based on my height/weight, but how much difference does a few centimeters really make? My cousin has offered me her 142 for free, I've also found a good deal for a 147, how much would I be struggling if I went with either of those? TIA!

Does anyone have any recommendations for cat trees or elevated spots that are maybe a bit easier for cats with arthritis? My girl loves to sit up high but I've noticed she isn't sitting on her cat tree anymore. She was diagnosed with arthritis in one of her shoulders not long ago and I'm wondering if jumping from the floor to any of the levels is a bit hard for her. Maybe something with a ramp or something she can easily climb would be better for her? She'll climb on the lower level to scratch and sit but won't go to the middle/top levels anymore.
