Best Cat Tree for Large Cats

Easy Set Up
I love how sturdy it is. My fur baby is a little on the chunky side so it's nice to know that this won't topple over. He loves to use it to look out the window and review the neighborhood.
-
Best cat tree
Sturdy and actually bigger than I thought. I put a cat bed in the top and one of my girls sleeps there. The middle part is big enough for another bed.
-
Sturdy Perch
This may not be a tall cat tree, but it is extremely sturdy!! I have 2 male cats that weigh 15lbs a piece. The bed is large enough for them and there is plenty of rope for them!!

Cat Tree
It took a a bit to put together. My cats have been using it and I think they like it, it's still new to them. Feels sturdy. I would purchase this cat tree again. It also helped that it was on sale.
-
The different levels with the boxes.
What’s amazing to me is that the cat won’t use it. I’d be jumping on and off it all day, laying in my platform looking outside. He hasn’t any interest.

Quick delivery.
Haven't set it up yet, it is a Christmas gift. I have ordered kitty towers from Chewy in the past. The are always great quality.
Best Budget Cat Tree

Happy on a high perch
My agile cat enjoys watching us ! He has a clear view of all 3 open rooms perched on top of his cat tree.

Easy to Build
This tower comes in a compact box (which my cat enjoyed through the setup process) with all of the pieces and tools you'll need for assembly. It's rather straightforward to setup, but I've seen some reviews indicating that parts are loose--this wasn't my experience. It requires a tightened screw (so some elbow grease) with the Allen wrench provided for all of the parts, but I think that's standard of most items you buy and need to assemble. My cat loves it! It's not as tall as I expected (my fault for not understanding heights), but it's tall enough that he can look over towards us as we cook and keep an eye on his kingdom. Personally, I...

Cat actually tried it!
I figured McQueen would be like every other cat-morally obligated to be ungrateful for every present given to him. I knew he would never touch it. However, he was in it the day after I put it together. I guess it is a keeper.
Best Cat Tree with Carpet
-
Cat love it
My cats are obsessed with this tower. I will say that as it is real carpet, there was a lot of carpet shedding at first. Only complaint is it did have quite a few strands of the plastic threading handing loose that I had to trim/remove
-
Perfect for picky cats
One of my cats just wants to be tall, and this thing is taller than me. The other one is disabled so she is picky about carpet material, scratching post material, and the size of the tunnels. This hits every category I need to please both of them. There's plenty of room to give each other space and it's sturdy enough that even jumping from the tallest perch it stays in place. It was also the easiest tree I've ever put together.
-
Great Tree
My cats love this tree. I have 3 and they each use a different level. It's sturdy and has a thick carpet cover.
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
-
Great purchase
I love this cat tree and my kitties do too. I have three so I wanted one big enough that all cats could enjoy but not too bulky either. The assembly took about 2 hours to complete with the help of mY 8 yr old. It seems sturdy too. Hopefully will last.
-
What a tree!
This cat tree is purrfect for my Maine Coons and other feline friends. It was also easy to put together.
-
Cat loves it!
My cat just loves his new cat tree! So many places he can go to! Very easy to assemble & my cat helped!
Best Modern Cat Tree
-
Extremely impressed
I've had a lot of cat trees in my life, but I'm extremely impressed by the attention to detail with this cat tree. This is a good option for renters. The construction allows for it to be taken apart easily while still being structurally sound. Putting it together took a while, but the parts included will allow taking it apart and putting it back together much smoother. It includes velcro for the scratch mat and the cat beds, so those will be able to be washed easily. My 8 pound cat loves it, but my 14 pound boy isn't a fan. He's a bit too large to fit on it comfortably. I would love it if this brand made trees specific to large cats.
-
Gorgeous!
I wanted a cat tree that was stylish, washable, and affordable. This delivered on all fronts! All my cat owner friends have been asking for the link, and our new kitty absolutely loves it.
-
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.
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
-
Win-Win
I love it. My cats love retreating into the belly of the beastie. Sturdy, easy to assemble, especially for someone who hates directions & assembling anything morre complicated than putting fresh batteries in a flashlight. Oh, and cute as a bug in a rug! No need to keep in a guestroom.
-
Very cute
Got this for my grandkitties for an early Christmas gift. They live it and my daughter was let's just say Surprised as she opened it and realized it was a lama . But the cats all love it.....and it was bigger than I thought definitely good for a 3 cat household .

Animal Series Cat Condo, Llama
The cats have really been having fun with the Llama! They take turns on the inside and outside. Sometimes they have had some llama drama when they fight to be the one on the inside. Funny.
