Even better, our favorite cat tree, the Catit Vesper High Base, is over 30 percent off. Most will come with a bed, cocoon or cave for your cat to go and sleep in. They will often have various levels that they can jump up and down, too. A scratching tree is the perfect retreat for your cat, as well as offering a fantastic lookout platform at great heights

After that, you can customize even further with optional parts and accessories, like a platform with a built-in food bowl, or replacement sisal scratch pads. Most platform accessories, like the cushions and scratchers, are secured to the platforms with velcro-like strips, making it easy to swap out replacements or remove cushions for cleaning. All RHRQuality scratching posts are manufactured with plush at the top & bottom, so you never see bare raw materials. In addition, it makes the places extra nice to lie on! While our test cats took to the On2Pets Modern Cat Tree immediately, we could imagine it being more daunting for older and cautious cats, who typically like an unobstructed view of exactly where they're leaping. In these situations, one or two branches on the On2Pets tree can be removed individually—or even just flexed to one side—showing your cat a clear pathway on to the cat tree. On2Pets also recommends a maximum weight of 32 pounds.

The Best Cat Feeders: Updated — With an automatic cat feeder, your cat can eat at the same time every day, no matter where you are. While the rotating perches lets you turn the Tuft & Paw Frond Cat Tree into a new challenge every day, the perches are limited a little by their size, since they aren't really large enough for naps. This is more of an active cat tree, suitable for high-altitude surveillance more than snoozing.

Cats need an appropriate area to scratch- and there’s really no getting around that.That’s because scratching does a lot more than just help keep kitty claws under control, it’s also a way for your cat to identify their territory. While not every cat tree needs to have a huge scratching area, your cat does need somewhere to scratch so always consider what options your cat already has and find a cat tree that makes sense within your current setup. How To Find The Perfect Placement For Your Cat Tree I’m a BIG fan of the Go Pet Club brand. They consistently make some of the largest trees but with surprisingly budget-friendly pricing and this 62-inch cat tree is no exception. Height up to 180cm: For a fairly cat or a number of cats, choose a tall cat climbing tree with plenty of practical features, including heavy bases, sturdy posts and fun platforms to climb to and snuggle down on! Browse a range of colours, additional features and styles, including fun designs to fit even the quirkiest household! There are various styles of cat scratching furniture on the market, from simple scratching boards to scratching mats and scratching posts. Many cat scratching posts also offer a platform for your cat to look out from, although these do not offer such high climbing opportunities as many floor to ceiling cat trees. Many cat scratching mats and cat scratching boards can also be mounted on a wall, making it easier for your cat to stretch out to its heart’s desire. The chance to climb and watch the world from a high vantage point are the obvious features missing from these alternative scratching options, but an advantage is that scratch mats and scratch boards need considerably less space than most scratching trees. This makes them the ideal choice for cat owners without much spare living space. Although they do not offer your cat the chance to climb vertically, if they are combined with other viewing and playing options then space-saving scratching furniture such as this can be a great way to make a small apartment species-appropriate for your cat! For example, you could choose a shelf to furnish as a cat den, with a comfortable cushion or cardboard cat house that would make it ideal as a lookout platform. Most cats enjoy watching the outdoors and being able to lay in the sun," Satchu says. "If you have space near a window, that would be ideal."Finally, our testers observed how their cats interacted with the tree over a two-week period. They noted any wear-and-tear, while also recording which features of the tree their cats used and didn't use. This unique addition to your home has an adjustable bottom bed/platform that allows it to be hung from the wall or ceiling and angled to suit. While it doesn’t come with a cushion, one could easily be placed inside for maximum comfort.

This is where wall, ceiling, and window-mounted cat beds are ideal. You won’t have to free up excessive amounts of floor space and can utilize areas that you overlook, like that empty wall in your living room. Enough places so that several cats can use the scratching post at the same time to sleep, rest or play. Cats are also natural jumpers and without a cat tree, they’d be jumping from branch to branch outside or from bookcases to countertops indoors. As cat trees are made to be sturdy, you’ll have peace of mind that they won’t fall over as your cat moves freely from each of the levels. Somewhere to sleep While most cat trees are covered in carpet, you can actually buy carpet-free versions. Although car trees without any carpets create a cleaner look in your home, expect to pay more as they use higher-quality wood. We particularly like the 22 by 16-inch top perch, which is plenty roomy for large cats. It's also got a cushioned rim for long naps. Combined with the two "condo playhouses," the Feandrea Cat Tree offers several different hiding, napping, and lounging zones well-suited to seniors. It also splits its perches across four different levels across a total height of 33 inches, which means that it's easy for cats to climb between the different elevations.It’s important to find a cat tree that offers enough space for your cat, or else they may feel less likely to use it. It needs to have ample space for them to turn around and settle down. RHRQuality glues the sisal directly onto the pole itself. What used to happen to cheaper sisal was that it came loose from the pole. You then got "strings" of sisal and bald patches after a short period of time. NOT with RHRQuality products! Because our sisal is made of natural products and we process this in a special way on the pole itself, this does not roll off! In short, longer scratching fun and a nicer scratching post in total! Easy to assemble in minutes after arrival, the scratching post is already set by means of the easy-to-understand construction drawing and included screw set. Those platforms really are big with the top platform measuring 19.6″ by 19.6″! That’s almost double the size of many cat tree platforms and that’s a big reason why this cat tree also tops as one of the best cat trees for Maine Coons and big cats. The Frond's perches are plywood with an ash veneer, and are shaped like petals, with curves that make it look more like curio shelves than a cat toy. However, the Frond also isn't trying to disguise what it is—it looks like a cat tree, just an attractive one. Plus, it's easy to assemble and finds a nice middle ground size, with a 24-inch diameter base and a height an inch over four feet tall.

Cat trees should be stable, sturdy and big enough to allow your cat to stretch itself out to its full length. The scratching post of the cat tree should be at least 10cm taller than your outstretched cat, which is why here at zooplus we offer cat scratching trees in a range of sizes. As well as offering different looks and designs, the range of cat trees also allows for different functions. If it needs some added stability, for example if you have a particularly large or boisterous cat, you can choose a floor to ceiling cat tree which, as the name suggests, reaches the ceiling and provides exciting new heights for your cat as well as improved sturdiness, or a large cat tree with a heavy base. For kittens and small cats, the range of small cat trees measuring up to 100cm is perfect. If you have more than one cat, it can be sensible to buy more than one cat tree, as this can help to reduce competition between your cats. Choose the ideal cat scratching tree for your cats, depending on whether they prefer to climb, snooze or stretch! A good cat tree for an elderly feline needs to be close enough to the ground, while still offering that sense of height that elates and entices. Finding that middle ground between accessible and boring can be difficult, but Feandrea has created a masterful cat tree that any cat, regardless of age, should enjoy. The two cat caves and bed are lined with a soft plush fabric that makes it a comfortable place to lounge. Your cat can let off as much steam as it likes, whenever it likes, without damaging your furniture or upholstery This 55.5-inches tall cat tree features both of them and its design is so nice that it will easily integrate into your home.
