Best Cat Tree for Large Cats
-
So sturdy
This is honestly the best cat tower I’ve ever bought and so affordable. I have two large cats and they love the tower!
-
Nice design
Good bang for the buck. Cat was climbing all over it even as we were assembling it. Slept on top the first night it was here. Seems to be well made.
-
Size
It is very heavy duty perfect for a large cat, very heavy base, , this is the only one I will ever buy!
Best Tall Cat Tree
-
Awesome tree, a real beast!
This was way easier to put together than I was afraid it would be, and the only trouble I had was some user error when I forgot to put the pillars in the apartments, but it was easily rectified, it's nice and sturdy and heavy and anchored to the wall, so it should be well loved and well used for a long time to come. And it was a great deal!
-
Easy assembly, sturdy,
Second one I’ve purchased. First one lasted us 5 years with 4 cats! The cats love it and sit up top daily to watch the birds
-
Really tall and sturdy
Tired of so many cat trees barely reaching like chest level. (And I'm 5'4" so chest level is short) Cats like to climb and observe from high places, so it's only fair to try to find the tallest cat tower possible. this one definitely fits the bill and is quite structurally sound. Wouldn't have minded there being a couple options for the anchor point on the top shelf, but otherwise this is a must buy.
Best Cat Tree with Condo
-
Perfect for my kitties
This cat tree is perfect size for my two cats, even for my big boy. It was super easy to put together and seems very sturdy
-
Great Buy
My kitties love this different little areas a little toys hanging off of it and best of all the scratching post
-
Sturdy, roomy, and cat loves it
The platforms are made with MDF instead of flimsy particle board so its really sturdy. The little rooms are spacious so even my large adult cat likes to go in them. I love that the top room has two openings which my cat loves walking through and he actually loves playing with the little puffball while on the platform above it. Each platform bed is spacious and soft and I love that they’re removable so I can wash them. Honestly really happy with it!
Best Budget Cat Tree
-
Perfect viewing station
I wanted a perch for my cat to sit in to see out the window but also something that would be a source of entertainment! The condo plus 2 perches is perfect.
-
Easy to assemble, great sisal scratching posts
When I first assembled the tree, I was concerned that it was not sturdy enough and would topple as my cat jumped on and off the top tier, but it’s actually been great so far! I love how tall the sisal scratching post is - it allows my cat to really stretch up and scratch it, as opposed to the short ones which don’t provide enough vertical space for standing and scratching. I got this tree specifically for the spot in front of my side bedroom window, and it was the perfect height for that. My cat loves to sit on the top tier and look out the window, and when she’s done with that, she curls up for a nap with plenty of space for whatever...
-
Great medium sized cat tree
I was looking for a medium sized cat tree that would allow easier access to the window for my cat that previously had a femur fracture and can't jump as high. It took her about a month to warm up to the cat tree, first only using the middle level to access the window and after about two months actually napping in the top bed. My previous foster kitten also loved to climb around and nap in the cat tree. So far, none have really used the hut on the bottom level but perhaps future foster kittens will use it. Finally, it can wobble a little bit when my cat has the zoomies and she leaps onto it from a greater speed and distance. I expected it may...
Best Cat Tree with Carpet
-
Initially it was a no for me
I ordered this tree because I wanted real carpet. The other style trees do not last long. It’s taller than I like. The design I felt was off. Not smooth. It didn’t flow from the bottom to the top. And its columns are skinny making it seem wobbly. At first my cat wouldn’t touch it. I had to coax him on with treats. But, it is well made. And now my cats use it. He still used his old one too but I have see. him in this one more. So five stars from Mars and Panda.
-
Cats love it.
It's sturdy and easy for the cats to get from level to level.Two of our younger cats play and nap on it daily.
-
My cats love it!
The tunnel with the cut out hole is perfect. Very stable cat tree that they enjoy finding different ways to climb up and around it.
Best Cat Tree that Looks Like a Tree
-
Sturdy and appealing
this is perfect for all my cats. It is sturdy for the larger cats and has nice platforms and tunnels to play in.
-
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.
Best for Cats Who Love to Scratch

Cats Love It
All 3 of my cats use it daily. Since are all black & the 3rd is black & while, it's sometimes hard to see them but I also can't see any hair they leave behind - LOL
-
Solid, sturdy, and my boys loved it immediately
After looking at a ton of different cat trees, I decided to purchase this one. It was important that it was sturdy (my boys are 11 months and 9 months and growing like weeds). Also, since there are two of them, I wanted there to be lots of beds and places to lay. This has 3 beds, a hut, and a hammock with multiple perches and scratching posts. And as soon as I started putting it together, I could see how well made and sturdy it was. And both the cats loved watching and participating in me putting it together. It was love at first sight. Best money I've spent lately!
-
Nice plush tower
Good size, easy numbered assembly, sturdy, good value for the price. Let’s see how it holds up once the cats go at it. The removal covers make it difficult for the cats to climb to the beds. Not sure how the firmness of the removal cushions will hold up after washing.
Best Modern Cat Tree

Nice perch
I wanted a cat tree without carpet. This is a nice one. Very sturdy. Easy to put together. Cat likes the top platform for bird watching. He’s a 15 pound cat and has no trouble with the platform design a few reviews mention
-
Aesthetically Pleasing
I've been looking for months for a cat tree that wasn't ugly as sin but also not $600. I was pumped when I saw this one. It looks great, the laminate is realistic like wood, and the other materials are good too. It was not difficult to put together by myself, just took a little bit of time. It is true that a cat wouldn't be able to get from the first platform to the second, but mine is next to a table and she goes right to the second then the third. It only took a few days for my cat to start chillin up there. The best part is she has stopped trying to climb up my bookshelves! Overall very happy I can have a cat tree that doesn't ruin the...

I love the nice design of this tree. LOVE no carpet !! I.
I only buy uncarpeted trees now. Carpeted ones are a cleaning nightmare. The kitties love it, though they refused to pose. This was super easy to assemble, and it beautiful.
Best Cat Tree for Small Spaces
-
Cute cat tree for kitten or young cat
Was the first cat tree that I bought for my cat and she enjoyed it! The sisal posts could be more durable, however.
-
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.
Best Novelty Cat Tree

10/10 cat (and ferret) condo
This little tower is so cute and the quality is amazing! It took about 10 minutes to fully assemble, and sits perfectly in our kitchen area. The main reason why I purchased this was because two of my cats have a hard time jumping down from the counter, so this was a great way for them to jump down safely. The condo itself isn't ideal for my large boys, but they still go inside to nap. My ferrets also love snuggling inside Thanks so much for making a wonderful and cute product!
-
so cute!
both the kitten and the adult cat (a svelte but long lady) fit perfectly in this small adorable llama scritcher/bed
-
Llama a welcome addition
We bought the llama to keep the giraffe company and fill an empty space in our living room. It was very easy to put together. The cats love it. Our older cat, Melody was napping in the giraffe earlier. I am hoping all the kitties will enjoy their new scratching and napping menagerie animals.
A cat tree may seem like a larger investment, but your furry friend will get so much out of it. The best cat trees will provide hours of entertainment—and give them their new favorite spot for snoozing away the afternoon.
