Best Cat Tree for Large Cats
-
My kitten loves it!
My new kitten loves climbing up to top perch as well as the scratching post and little "condo." Can't think of anything we don't like about it and a good price compared to other similar items.
-
The brand name and the features
Not only is it a sturdy piece of cat furniture, but it also has roomy perches for me Large Maine Coon, and lots of climbing and scratching areas for my Sing a Ling.
-
I have three of these
The cats love them so much I just keep buying another one for another window. This design is better than some others because the platforms are each held up by two posts (instead of one) so they last longer and are more stable.
Best Tall Cat Tree

Quality
Don't hesitate to buy! I have 3 large adult cats who love this. I have bought many trees over the years for about the same price. This one has more scratch areas, much sturdier, and much higher quality.

Great Purchase
My two cats love this tree. They spend hours and hours, playing with each other, watching what's going on in the kitchen, birdwatching, and, of course, sleeping. They move to different parts of it all day, and it's a valued sanctuary for them when our yappy granddogs come to visit. The only downside was the assembly. The directions were good, and the many parts were pictured and numbered. But there are many pieces, and it took my husband and me a while to put it all together. (We're in our 70's, so that might have had something to do with it.) Also, one of the cats insisted on helping us, which was not really helpful. The tree is...

Cornerstone cat tower
My cat has enjoyed his tower for 3 full years now and has made it his home base and fort at three different homes. This tower is pretty easy to assemble (I’ve broke it down for a move twice and it’s never too difficult to rebuild with instructions). I thought maybe it would last a year or two but in year three it still looks great and hold up well. With regular fur cleaning this will last you a while and serve your cat well!
Best Cat Tree with Condo
-
Awesome arrangement!
This is the perfect tower for my two boys to share. There is a cubby for each of them and they each have a perch to sleep on. So perfect! Like that I can remove the perch covers for cleaning. This unit is also VERY sturdy and stable even when they are wrestling around on it. I have not attached the bracing strap as it is not needed. Great for the price!!!
-
Perfect
Easy and quick to put together. Nice and tall. Somehow compact. Very affordable compared to most. I absolutely love this tree condo and so do my babies.
-
Great cat tree!
Very sturdy, held 30 lbs of my cats while I moved it to where I wanted it. They're always on the very top beds and in the little hide box! They love it and I love it
Best Budget Cat Tree
-
Perfect size for a small space.
The perch is a nice size for my chubby cat and I like that I can remove the cover to clean it when needed. It fit nicely in the small area in front of the window. The cat is still getting used to it but she is already liking the little cubby on the bottom. Very nice for the price.
-
Kitty loves it!
My daughter picked out this cat tree and it was instantly a favorite with our skittish kitty. It’s well-made and sturdy. I wish the scratching post was a little taller so kitty could fully stretch out but otherwise we’re perfectly happy!
-
Great for kitten!
This is a great size for our new kitten! Our first cat likes to use it, too :) I think the size of the top part makes him feel comforted, as it kind of swaddles him. He has a him-size one, but they trade off.
Best Cat Tree with Carpet
-
my 4 Adults CATS didn't use, but my 2 new Kittens WOW.
first of all this was well built but after 1yr and my 4 Adult cats showed no interest I moved it into the garage hoping they use it in winter when they go out for the day. Nope. I foster 2 kittens 7 week old and move it back into guest bedroom where I was keeping kittens, Man they tore it up LOL running up and down and now they are 2yrs old and still use. It's held up well except i really have to replace the trill rope they use as scratching post and still do. So I guess if raised with one they will use it. My 4 Adults never had one since they were outside while we were at work and came n they we got home. We live on 10 areas w trees and...

Frisco 69 inch real carpet cat tree
It took about a week before my kitten Flash wasn't scared by it, Charlie loved it right away. They both sleep and play on it
-
Incredibly easy to put together & is sturdy
If you’re an experienced cat parent, you know how difficult it is to put together cat trees. I was shocked at how easy and quick it was to put this together. Seriously, once out of the box it only took a couple of minutes. Typically there’s 1000 pieces to these things and it takes hours. This was mostly assembled and only had to screw on three pieces, that did not require any tools. I will forever buy this brand in the future!
Best Cat Tree that Looks Like a Tree
-
Purrfect!
We had a cat tree from Chewy which my cat loved...to death. So when it was time to replace it, we did decide to down size and this the perfect size! She is happy and I have more room.
-
Not Perfect but..
My cats LOVE sunbathing on the top and attacking the scratching posts. The leaves didn’t last very long so it looks pretty bare now. The hanging tunnel also has gone loose (cats didn’t even use it. Despite the small annoyances, it was easy to assemble and what really matters is that the cats like it.
-
My cats love this tower
It was an instant hit with my two boys, the large flat spaces allow them both to enjoy this tower without fighting. The cats specifically seem to like the fact there aren't sidewalls on the large platforms.
Best for Cats Who Love to Scratch

Kitties Love their New City
We jokingly refer to a large cat tree as a "Kitty City." Well, our kitties are loving this new city! It was mostly pretty easy to assemble, and the bed areas are very soft and plush. The kitties definitely approve!
-
Cat tree
My cat loves her new cat tree. She is constantly on it. It is tall enough to satisfy her need to climb and diverse enough to keep her interested. it is heavy and stable. I am very happy with it and highly recommend it.
-
Cats Love It
I recently got 2 new cats. They are both climbers. When I saw them climb up my armoire, I knew I had to get a tall cat tree. They both love it. One cat picks different spots to lay down while the other one likes the house. This was easy to put together and is very stable.
Best Modern Cat Tree

Purrific!!
Got this cat tree for a new screened in porch. It looks great and Callie loves it. We've only had it a few weeks but so far it's wonderful.
-
Harry's Happy Place
My cat Harry instantly loved this cat tree. He now spends most of the day sleeping on it or using it as a perch to watch the birds. It's sturdy, attractive, and easy to assemble. I highly recommend it.
-
My cat lives in this tree
The tree is the right height for a small window my cat loves to look out of. She sleeps in the top cubby and is pretty much there 24/7. She's quite happy with it. It blends in well with my living room decor, it's not too tall or overpowering. I am happy with the quality for the price.
Best Cat Tree for Small Spaces
-
Great for Kittens
Perfect for when my cats were kittens and as a secondary cat tree for scratching & lounging by the window now that they’re bigger. Really good quality and still in excellent condition after being used daily for 2 years.
-
My cat absolutely loves this
Like most cats, mine is kind of particular. In order for her to use a scratcher or a piece of furniture, it must fulfill a few requirements. It can’t be too steep, it has to not wobble with her on it (she’s 17lbs and is pretty long), and I have to place it in the right location. She legit has shedded this and I had to buy a replacement.
-
Cat tree and condo
We recently adopted a Maine Coon mix and we wanted to have a spot for her to have an easier time looking outside but without taking up a lot of space. This is exactly what we wanted. She didn’t take to it at first but after I sprayed it with a catnip mist she now uses it everyday.
Best Novelty Cat Tree
-
Astonishingly adored
I bought this as a gag gift when we adopted our kitten, and have been shocked to learn it may be the best purchase. While the head bobbles (the kitten loves that), it is remarkably sturdy, holding up well to flying leaps from a kitten who lands like a hippopotamus. I do recommend using a damp cloth or a brush on the outside, as the fluff had some loose pieces on arrival. Otherwise, setup is easy. The scratcher itself isn't tall, but the position means a tall cat can really stretch from the floor. The inside is fairly spacious, and would easily fit a medium to large adult cat. Kitten takes great joy in leaping on it, bopping the head,...

Cute and fun.
This is super cute!! It was so easy to assemble, and holds up to my cat going at the neck cat scratch with a vengeance. He also loves to jump on top of the llama to sit and gaze over his territory. My second cat isn’t as interested in it, but it was so worth the price for Loki’s cat scratching and king of the llama amusement.
-
Cozy & fun for cats!!
The llama Cat tree/ condo is perfect for our two cats. They love using the scratching post and sitting on the little llama. It is compact enough to fit in small spaces. It was very easy to assemble. So Thank you!
