Our testers also liked that the Feandrea Cat Tree was compact, taking up a lot less space in a tiny apartment than taller cat trees with larger footprints. Testers found it to be consistently sturdy too, even with cats jumping in and out of the playhouses. There’s also the ladder that connects the first platform to the floor and can help older cats get more out of this tree.As cats age, they’re more likely to have arthritis and other joint issues that can make big jumps a bit uncomfortable. Ramps and ladders can allow cats to get into their tree without jumping and it’s something we looked for in our list of the best cat trees for older cats. After that, you can customize even further with optional parts and accessories, like a platform with a built-in food bowl, or replacement sisal scratch pads. Most platform accessories, like the cushions and scratchers, are secured to the platforms with velcro-like strips, making it easy to swap out replacements or remove cushions for cleaning.

If you have an older cat at home, the Hey-bro 40.5-Inch Cat Tree With Ramp should be on top of your list. Because it comes with a ramp, older cats won’t have any problems enjoying what this cat tree has to offer: a deep 13.7” basket, a 15.7” x 9.8” sleeping platform, and several sisal-covered scratching posts. The Faux Fur Cat Tree & Condo has a whopping 10 scratching posts, two condos, and three high-up perches. Crucially, while there is a single, highest perch, there are two additional perches that are nearly as elevated, so multiple cats will be less likely to constantly fight over a single perch. As the name would suggest, this cat tree towers at 6-feet high, satisfying your cat's instincts to attain the high ground to observe their surroundings. RHRQuality glues the sisal directly onto the pole itself. What used to happen to cheaper sisal was that it came loose from the pole. You then got "strings" of sisal and bald patches after a short period of time. NOT with RHRQuality products! Because our sisal is made of natural products and we process this in a special way on the pole itself, this does not roll off! In short, longer scratching fun and a nicer scratching post in total! We all know how much our feline friends love to snuggle up into their cat beds, but they equally love to play and scratch, too, which is why the best cat trees are worth the investment if you're looking for something special for your beloved pet.We particularly like the 22 by 16-inch top perch, which is plenty roomy for large cats. It's also got a cushioned rim for long naps. Combined with the two "condo playhouses," the Feandrea Cat Tree offers several different hiding, napping, and lounging zones well-suited to seniors. It also splits its perches across four different levels across a total height of 33 inches, which means that it's easy for cats to climb between the different elevations. All scratching parts of our RHRQuality scratching posts are made of the strongest ABS which makes the scratching post extremely stable, sturdy and durable.

At 60 pounds, the Trixie Lilo isn't easy to move around once assembled, but it is extra sturdy. The interiors are plush too, making these cat condos a place your cats will seek out, and will be able to rely on for years. Though we do wish it came in a few more color options. This 55.5-inches tall cat tree features both of them and its design is so nice that it will easily integrate into your home. Strongest and most stable construction that allows even the biggest and heaviest cats to clamber and play on our RHRQuality scratching posts without fear that it could topp over. While we tested out a large, 5-foot version of the Modern Cat Tree, On2Pets also offers 4-foot and 2-foot versions. I’m a BIG fan of the Go Pet Club brand. They consistently make some of the largest trees but with surprisingly budget-friendly pricing and this 62-inch cat tree is no exception.While our test cats took to the On2Pets Modern Cat Tree immediately, we could imagine it being more daunting for older and cautious cats, who typically like an unobstructed view of exactly where they're leaping. In these situations, one or two branches on the On2Pets tree can be removed individually—or even just flexed to one side—showing your cat a clear pathway on to the cat tree. On2Pets also recommends a maximum weight of 32 pounds. A good cat tree for an elderly feline needs to be close enough to the ground, while still offering that sense of height that elates and entices. Finding that middle ground between accessible and boring can be difficult, but Feandrea has created a masterful cat tree that any cat, regardless of age, should enjoy. The two cat caves and bed are lined with a soft plush fabric that makes it a comfortable place to lounge.

Cat trees in particular can be on the large side. If you live in a small apartment, finding a spare corner big enough for a giant structure can be easier said than done. While it can sometimes seem like carpet is required for any cat tree that’s just not the case! You can find a great tree without carpet but you should sometimes expect to pay a premium price to do so. That’s because carpet-free cat trees usually cost since they require higher-quality wood. Consider whether or not you actually like carpet look or if you’ve just accepted that that’s the way cat trees are built! This is where wall, ceiling, and window-mounted cat beds are ideal. You won’t have to free up excessive amounts of floor space and can utilize areas that you overlook, like that empty wall in your living room. I also like some of the darker color options that are available with this tree. Especially if you’ve got multiple cat trees, you may not want to have that much beige in your house. Finally, our testers observed how their cats interacted with the tree over a two-week period. They noted any wear-and-tear, while also recording which features of the tree their cats used and didn't use.

Large Cat Trees

The Refined Feline Metropolitan Cat Condo looks like a bookshelf, with platforms arranged in a stepped pattern, making it easy for multiple cats to hop between levels. Each platform is ample, with a 13 by 18.5-inch surface large enough for any-sized cat to lie down. But our favorite part is the sheer number of options, including four different frame colors and a wide range of ways to customize each of the five platforms. While the ease with which you can change out one or every branch on the Modern Cat Tree is one of its coolest features, it also means that active play will sometimes shake a branch or two loose. While never a major annoyance, we did begin to anticipate needing to reinstall a branch or two whenever our test cats got the zoomies, or pounced on each other through some leaves. Enthusiastic and full of passion we made a lot of designs and kept improving them to have the honor to carry the name ' RHRQuality™'. We still do every day and many new designs will come. 2021 will be the year of change for us! New cat trees, variants and new ways to ship our products.

The On2Pets Modern Cat Tree may not look real, but it does look fun. Plus, it's available in a wide range of configurations, with swappable leaves that you can update with the seasons.

While it doesn’t come with a cushion, one could easily be placed inside for maximum comfort. All RHRQuality scratching posts are manufactured with plush at the top & bottom, so you never see bare raw materials. In addition, it makes the places extra nice to lie on!

FAQs

These features are also the reason why the Hey Brother 43.3-Inch Multi-Level Cat Tree Condo is superior to other cat trees: Scratching Barrels That have large openings at the front/top. These openings have a size of 20Øcm. Again, suited for large cats! Cats are natural climbers and love being up high.
