Faux Fur Cat Tree
Super fast shipping! Assembly was simple and pretty intuitive. My 4-month old kitten loves it. Only downside was that she wasted no time in tearing the attached fuzzy ball off of the tree.
-
Ol’ trusty
This is actually our 3rd one we’ve owned over the years. My 8year old cat loves his tower and literally shreds it over time.
-
Sturdy-Cat loves it
We bought this five years ago and our car loved it to death. Places sell cat trees for hundreds of dollars-skip those. This thing is economical, sturdy, and feline approved.
Best Cat Tree for Large Cats
-
Nicely made, good price
Really sturdy and relatively easy to assemble. Nice, soft carpet/fabric. It’s not very tall but otherwise ‘has it all’ (multiple perches, cubby, hanging toy, scratching posts). Really happy with it.
-
Sturdy, Well Made Tree
Just bought a second tree after 4 years of two large male cats loving the life out of the original.
-
Amazing and Well Build
I have a cat that is huge, and she can come the tower, and it is sturdy. What a blessing.
Best Tall Cat Tree
-
High flying happy cat
This cat tower was very easy to build. I like that it has lots of scratching posts. My cat loves it.
-
It’s gorgeous and sturdy
I bought this for my elderly cat, that has sadly recently passed. She didn’t use it much, but my stepdaughter’s cat that is much younger is on it every single day and loves it. The leopard print makes it unique and it’s super sturdy and well made.
-
Purrfect Cat Tree
My kitties LOVE their cat tree. They enjoy this more than any other toy or bed. They take turns resting on the various levels. I always find one or both of them napping on the tree.
Best Cat Tree with Condo
-
Rudy loves it
My cat loves to sit to high and either look out the window or observe his doggie brothers and sister
-
This tower works
My cats seem to really like this tower. I think it is much more stable then I thought it would be due to the low price.
-
Well made easy to put together
Kittens took a shin weight to it. They love the scratching posts and toys. They sleep in the beds daily.
Best Budget Cat Tree
-
Great tree!
I’ve had this tree for about a year now. It’s still in tip top shape and holding up to heavy use from a 15 pound cat. Granted he’s not a heavy scratcher but he lounges on it constantly!
-
First cat tree they love!
I’ve tried many cat trees and they, as cats do, know we want them to like them and therefore reject. This one was obviously accepted and is so nice for them and for us humans as it is so easy to fit anywhere! Great build, easy assembly, great quality.
-
Tall cat tree
My cat, Whiskers, had pretty much shredded the tree I bought when I got her from the SPCA so it was great to have a new adventure for her and less yarn for me!
Best Cat Tree with Carpet
-
Solid and durable
I have a frisco cat tree that is at least 15 years old and still going strong! This is the only brand on my opinion that can stand up to my cats climbing and jumping and chasing each other. I recently tried another brand and it fell apart after a few years.
-
It’s big!
This is the second one of this type we’ve bought because we have a large cat who doesn’t fit well into other towers.
-
Great Quality, Highly Recommended, worth the money
Last year we bought some cheap knockoff from who knows were , they didn't last a year, complete junk. THESE however, are great , very well constructed and actual carpet on them, not cheap junk, our cats love them
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
-
Lots of options
My sibling’s two little cats love all the places to hide out and climb! It’s sturdy, and looks good in the space. Couldn’t find a photo with them both in it, but they were loving it.
-
Sturdy for two big cats!
Very sturdy build, have two large boy cats that love to treat these things as jungle gyms, so far so good!
-
Love this!!!
This cat tree is so much more than expected. We have 2 sphynx (15 lbs and 6 lbs). This cat tree is well proportioned for all sizes to share. They immediately ran to it to play and climb on. Definitely impressed with the quality and ease to assemble. For the price this is a must buy!
Best Modern Cat Tree
-
Great quality
The modern design is great for my home aesthetic. My 2 cats love the condo and perch. I use the platform to place a food grazing bowl throughout the day. It’s great for them to access their food without my dog being able to reach the bowl.
-
Nice size.
I found the tree to be a versatile size. Not over done or space restrictive. It is clean and easy to maintain. Easy to assemble.
-
Exactly what I was looking for!
I really wanted a modern looking cat tree and this one turned out perfect! It was super easy to put together and my cat loved it right away!
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
-
I myself have not seen it. For my sisters cat in another state.
My sister loved it. Her cat got in it while she took a nap. She searched her place all over & couldn't find him never thinking he'd go inside. She was in tears then heard a noise & bent down to look & there he was snug as can be in his new bed.
-
Loved Even Before Box Opened
Rosie the Riveter was sitting on the closed box when I brought it in. As soon as I opened it, she was inside the llama before I even put it together. She has barely left it (It’s been about an hour) and for the few minutes she did, our other cat Moose climbed in. Rosie, being very confident and opinionated, kicked him out. I need to order a second one for Moose, but it sadly seems to be out of stock. :(
-
How cute it looked.
I didn't think my cats would even take to it. They ignore a lot of stuff I buy them, but my Milo loves hanging inside it. 2 of my cats hop up on it and use the scratch post.
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.
