Best Cat Tree for Large Cats
-
Sturdy tree
Solid tree, hold all three of my boys from big Maine Coon to 5 pound kitten, all at the same time. Bed to people to build, especially the cylinder piece. But easy instructions
-
Kitten fun
Our new kitten is loving the tree as a place to work off some of her energy! It also gives her a heads up over the resident dogs!
-
Size, Ease of Cleaning
There are three of us cats and we love our new scratching posts and hangout spaces on this tower. Mom loves how easy it is to take off the bed on top to wash and the size is perfect for our window to the world. Five meows.

Large, very stable, good for two cats
We got this to help our new kitten and older cat feel like they had lots of resources and that they both got to "claim" it at the same time. It worked great! They both like playing in it and it's been very robust even with 18 lbs of cats galloping about it. They love it. It took two of us about 30 mins to put it together. It was easier than IKEA furniture!

Tall sturdy cat tower
This cat tower was pretty easy to set up which I appreciated. It did not take long as all to assemble. My cats were hiding in the little hut portions before I even got the whole thing out together. We have 3 cats- one is small the other two are large (one of them is 14 lbs) and they can all fit o to most portions of the tower. My largest cat, the Manx, probably wouldn’t try to squeeze himself I to the round hut portion but really enjoys the top two platforms and the square hut part with the two openings. I do have to put puppy pads and towels or blankets on all the beds on my tower as my Manx has continence issues. So my tower looks a bit...

Liked it so much, I bought it again
This tower is the porridge that Goldilocks chose lol! The right size, amount of condos etc for my space & my cat's preferences. Cats loved the heck out of the first one! I shopped different styles, but ended up settling one this one again. Very easy assembly by myself. Will likely be getting another in a year or so lol!
Best Budget Cat Tree

I love it
Cats didn’t take to it as much as the taller version. I love the color, sturdiness, and removable cover to keep it clean.
-
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!
Best Cat Tree with Carpet
-
Awesome cat tower.
We bought this to give our 3 cats more climbing options. They love it and each one has claimed a different level for themselves. Great product!
-
Nice cat tree!
This is what I was looking for in a cat tree. Tall, but not too tall, made with real wood-so its pretty study. Also has the carpeting which some cats like to scratch on. Many cat trees are made with a soft material. I think the carpet adds to the overall weight of the tree and will last longer. Cat tree weight helps the tree be more stable. The color is a nice neutral, the natural sisal is a decent thickness too. The placement of the tunnel, the platform & bed with walls at the top & the cradle at the bottom works very well. Good choices for lounging cats. It's not just kitten size, it definitely will accommodate a large cat too. I got...

Coco absolutely loves her new tree!!
It is very sturdy and made from real carpet. The platforms are off-set, which makes it easy for our kitten, Coco Skye, to climb up and down. She loves the window in the tube, the Skye deck, and the heavy duty scratching post. This tree makes her very happy!!!
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
-
Best cat tower for the money!
My kitten loves this however the levels are all one level not staggered so the older cat cannot climb it but the kitten has no problem. It really is a beautiful cat tower and looks great in the living room. I bought the light gray and it blends in nicely. Was not difficult to assemble.
-
Perfect for larger cats!
I was looking for something that my 13 pound cat could comfortably lounge on and play in. The last cat tree I got her, she kept falling off the ledges because they were too small. This one is perfect! It’s as tall as I am (5’ 8”) and all the platforms are nice and roomy. My cat is obsessed with the hammock and naps there all afternoon, and then snoozes from the high perches in the evening. It’s bigger than I imagined, but I have no regrets buying it as my cat loves it.

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!

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.
-
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.
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.

The Best Design
I love the different animals they for their condo/scratchers. My cats love them. This is my second time buying the product. My cats loved it so much, my cats damaged the first Llama.

Frisco Animal Series Cat Condo, Llama
This was easy to put together! I put a small blanket over the little pillow inside, and there is almost always a cat inside it, taking a nap. Occasionally a cat lays on top, but they prefer the cave-like privacy for a catnap!
-
SO cute!
This is adorable. My cat immediately took to it, but at first just slept on the top. Then gradually she started getting inside. I think she thought she was too big :) but she fits just fine at 13 pounds
