Buying Guide

If a new cat tree for your kitty or kitties is at the top of your list, take a few moments to compare the different options above. We made sure our top list contains only very good trees, and they are diverse in size and shape. Think about what you’re looking for in the tree your purchase and which features are most important to you. Also, we recommend getting a window perch as well.

Number of Levels/Height

First, you should consider the height of the different trees and the number of levels they have. If you have a large cat or more than one, you’ll likely want to consider a cat tree with more levels, since it will allow your cats to each enjoy their own space. Likewise, if your cat or cats seem to prefer sitting high up, you may want to find a tree that is on the taller side.

Sleeping Zones

Next, consider the number of sleeping spaces that are offered by each tree. Again, take into consideration how many cats you have and look for a tree that will allow each of them to cuddle up in their own warm space when they want.

In addition to looking at how many spaces there are to sleep, you should look at what types of spaces are offered by the different trees. You’re likely to find trees that have a kitty condo, plush sleeping bed, or a hammock. Think about what your cat or cats seem to prefer, and make your selection using this information. Or, better yet, choose a tree that offers more than one type of sleeping space.

Overall Design

You should also consider the overall design of the different trees you are looking at. How are they laid out? Does it look like they will provide enough space for your kitties to climb and play?

Scratching Posts

Selecting a tree with scratching posts is important. It can provide your cat with an acceptable alternative to sharpening their claws on your carpets or furniture.

Many cat indoor trees feature sisal-wrapped poles. Some trees also incorporate a larger scratching post or pad into their design. Think about what your cats will be most likely to use as you decide which options are best for you.

Materials and Stability

Finding a product that is stable and durable is very important. You want to be sure to pick something that isn’t likely to tip over, potentially harming your cat. Some trees also come with a strap that you can use to anchor them to the wall, which will provide additional stability.

You should also look for a cat tree that is made using high-quality materials. Look for options that are constructed using quality woods or certified particle boards. You should also consider the durability of the outer material that covers the tree.

Toys

Just about all cats love toys (and chew toys) and would have a good time batting at a toy hanging off of a cat indoor tree. Look for products that come with this extra, since it will bring some fun and excitement to your kitty’s life.

Assembly

Most cat climbing trees you purchase online will likely be boxed and shipped in pieces, so it is likely you’ll need to assemble them yourself. However, be sure to pick an option that sounds like it is easy to assemble and includes clear directions that will help walk you through each step.

Colors

Finally, don’t forget the color! If you’ll be putting the cat tree in a main living space in your home, it would be nice if it looks like it coordinates with the furniture and decorations you have in your space. If your cat has expressed any preferences towards certain colors, you can also keep this in mind when you select your cat tree.
