If you’re looking for a giant cat tree, RHRQuality really is one of the first names to consider. The RHRQuality Cat Tree Cat Penthouse has clearly been designed for large breeds like Maine Coons. First off, it stands nearly 2 metres from the ground, which means that it will take up a lot of height in any room, and if you have low ceilings and a tall cat, it might actually be a struggle for your feline friend to sit on the top perch.

Cats need an appropriate area to scratch- and there’s really no getting around that.That’s because scratching does a lot more than just help keep kitty claws under control, it’s also a way for your cat to identify their territory. While not every cat tree needs to have a huge scratching area, your cat does need somewhere to scratch so always consider what options your cat already has and find a cat tree that makes sense within your current setup. How To Find The Perfect Placement For Your Cat Tree Beds and platforms are also common additions to cat trees. They can be on any of the levels, and some include plush cushions so your cat can get snug and warm. Even if your cat doesn’t weigh a lot, if it is a tall cat that likes to stretch out, you will need a large platform, or it won’t be able to stretch out comfortably. Stability & Strength 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! Cat trees are multi-activity centres for cats. They typically include the features of scratching posts, climbing trees, and beds or platforms. They offer somewhere to play, somewhere to exercise, somewhere to laze around, and even somewhere to get comfortable and stay out of the way of the rest of the world. And, because they’re tall, they can even provide your cat with an elevated platform from where they can sit and watch the world.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. Beds – Adult cats sleep for around 18 hours a day, and they tend to have a few favourite places to nap. With sleep being such an important part of a cat’s life, it is hardly surprising that most cat trees include at least one bed if not two or more. For a large cat, the bed also needs to be large, and those with a plush cushion offer even more comfort and some additional warmth. It is also worth measuring how much floor space you have and whether you have space in the middle of the room, up against one wall, or you would benefit from a corner cat tree. Corner trees take up less floor space, but they don’t offer as much access for the cats. Levels & Level Design

Scratching Posts – Cats not only enjoy scratching but they use it as a means of relieving stress, maintaining their claws, and playing. If you don’t provide surfaces that your cat is allowed to scratch, it increases the likelihood that they will scratch surfaces they aren’t supposed to. Cat trees naturally have columns in place, used for providing structure and support, and these are usually covered in a sisal rope. Sisal is a tough fabric, but it won’t usually cause injury to your cat so it is a good choice. It will last longer than fabric. The more scratching columns and posts on a cat tree, the better. Condos/Caves – Some cat trees call them condos and some call them caves, but they are essentially small boxes with an entry. Your cat can climb in and get away from the world. The entrance needs to be large enough for your cat to get in comfortably, and the sleeping area should be spacious enough for them to stretch out.

It is difficult to judge the stability of a cat tree, but key factors include the overall weight and the size of the base relative to the structure itself. Look for those trees that are heavy and wide, especially if you are looking for a tall cat tree. Alternatively, some do come with fixings that can be used to attach the tree to a wall and ensure greater stability.

What I Love About It:This cat tree does a little bit of everything and it does it really well. But my favorite is the supersized platform and extra-cozy cat cubbies!

Pesofer cat tree features a ramp, which is the most important feature for older cats. Thanks to it, they can climb and still enjoy a nice view from a tree. The tree has two large condos with sizable openings and viewing windows. There’s a hanging rope for play, ladders for climbing, two cushioned platforms, a separate platform, and two beds, as well as multiple surfaces for scratching.Having a large cat doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to fill every room of the house with giant cat trees and scratching posts, or that you have to spend a fortune to find a suitable place for your cat to laze around. 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. Platforms – Platforms can offer easier access to higher levels, but they also provide somewhere for your cat to perch. In the case of top, cushioned platforms, you may find your cat enjoys spending a lot of time up there, watching the world from an elevated vantage point. Again, ensure that the size is appropriate for your cat and that the structure is stable enough for your cat to perch on top. 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.

RHRQuality specialises in producing cat trees, scratching posts, and other items for extra-large breeds and they do it well. The RHRQuality Cat Tree for Large Cats XXL Royal Cat Palace is a giant of a tree designed for giant cats, but it does have a similarly large price tag attached to it. Those platforms really are big with the top platform measuring 19.6″ by 19.6″! That’s almost double the size of many cat tree platforms and that’s a big reason why this cat tree also tops as one of the best cat trees for Maine Coons and big cats. Ladders – Ladders do provide access to upper levels but they are also fun for some cats to climb. If a cat tree does have a ladder, ensure it is angled and that the ladder rungs are covered in sisal. The angle of the ladder makes it the perfect spot for scratching and if it is only covered in fabric, it will be easily destroyed. What I Wish It Had: It makes a great option for older and disabled cats and I don’t find any flaws to this cat tree. Closing ThoughtsThe best cat trees for large cats in the UK can be expensive, and the selection is somewhat limited. Fortunately, there are a few brands that make some solid, stable, and fulfilling cat trees that are suitable for cats of all sizes and breeds. 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.
