A cat tree gives an indoor cat a place to climb, scratch and perch. Height and footprint matter most, followed by what is on the tree: sisal posts, condos, hammocks and platforms. Most are particleboard or engineered wood covered in plush, with sisal rope on the posts.
The six trees below run from a 43 inch tower to a 72 inch tree. Sizes, weights and features come from each product’s listing page. We have not used these trees ourselves. Anti-tip kits, weight limits and material claims are the makers’ own.
