Large cat trees come with a number of distinct features that make life for your cat fun and more exciting. Unlike most trees that you can buy, this one has two bases which makes it extra stable. It can also be assembled in two ways to suit your needs – either at right angles to fit in a corner, or lengthways. Our cats love cat trees and most cat owners already know how important they are for exercise, mental stimulation, and of course afternoon naps in the sun.

A cat tree has more functions than just a safe scratching surface. It can offer a cat the opportunity to climb, hide, and find some peace above the ground; the latter is especially important if there are other pets or children in the house. Some cat trees are short, two-level structures, while others can reach as high as the ceiling. Larger cat trees are often thought to be better suited to big cats, like the breeds listed here.

Hopefully the cat latrine will stop them toileting in other garden beds, but again it’s best to wear gloves when gardening, just in case you come across a stray poo.

I’ve never seen anything like it on the market before and it almost feels like Ripple Rug levels of could-be-considered-a-cat-toy pet furniture. Basically, in my head, products like the Ripple Rug and this condo right here are essentially hybrids between cat furniture and cat toys, since you know there’s going to be a lot of peeking out, grabbing, and overall playing going on around them. Imagine waving a feather toy outside this cat tree? There’s no way even the most lazy cat of all is not going to engage. Seeing little parts of the feather wand behind the fake leaves would be way too enticing. While it’s not an ordinary cat condo, therefore, and it’s not really a good replacement for a true cat tree, I think it’s got ridiculous potential for entertaining cats, again, same way the Ripple Rug would.
