Customer reviews

It took us 50-minutes to assemble this cat tree, which was on the higher end of the spectrum among the trees we tested.

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. If you want a cat tree with a scratching post, look for scratching posts that have unoiled sisal. This type of sisal is stronger and longer lasting than regular sisal. Conclusion 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. 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.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 The Armarkat 50-Inch Premium Scots Cat Tree is a large cat tree that your Maine Coon kitten can grow into and keep using as an adult. It has nicely spaced platforms so your small kitten can easily jump from level to level to reach the perch and condo at the very top. 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. The support poles, which are also scratch posts, are 15 centimetres in diameter, so they will take a lot of weight and because the whole thing weighs 130 kilograms, it takes a lot of human effort to push it over, so it is suitable for cats of all sizes regardless of their strength. You'll also want to make sure the cat tree fits in your home. Apartment dwellers may want to look for a compact unit like the Feandra Cat Tree, whereas those with large living rooms might consider something more substantial. And vertical towers often sit tall with a small footprint, which can help save space and leave you more room for other necessities, like an air purifier.

To extend your investment, look for cat furniture with replaceable parts, like scratchers, pads, etc.," says Dr. Finn. "This way, you can just swap out worn parts without needing to dispose of the entire piece." Having put together over two dozen cat trees ourselves, we can tell you assembly times vary greatly. Some are easy to assemble and can be set up in under five minutes, while others take over an hour. Make sure you're up for the time commitment and have all the necessary tools and hardware — and think about recruiting a buddy for an extra pair of hands. 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.

This cat tree has many features, but your Maine Coon may not be able to enjoy all of them. The baskets on the higher levels are pretty small and can’t contain a large cat. Also, the space to jump onto the second platform is narrow. Therefore, if your cat isn’t that agile, it can have a harder time reaching the higher levels. But we don’t stop there: We also regularly re-review the categories in which we’ve awarded the PEOPLE Tested seal of approval — because the best product of today might not be the best of tomorrow. And by the way, companies can never buy our recommendation: Their products must earn it, fair and square. On top of safety, this cat tree provides a lot of fun for your cats. It has two large platforms for them to perch on and two condos large enough to hide inside comfortably. It also has a hanging fur ball toy and multiple scratching post locations. The whole structure uses high-quality material, so this cat tree should last long. The resting areas also have plush fabric, so it’s incredibly comfortable for your cat.

We chose this Hey-brother Extra Large Multi-Level Cat Tree Condo as the overall best cat tree for Maine Coons because it’s secure enough for large cats to use, and it also has a lot of fun features to keep them entertained. Some cats love to explore vertically as well as horizontally, while some are quite happy with a simple post and bed. If yours is an adventurous cat, look for one with as many layers or levels as you can reasonably fit. It took our cats a couple of days to get acquainted with the structure, but once they were familiar, they used it daily. We loved that it gave them several safe places where they could look into the room and out of a nearby window. In the end, we think the price is on point for a large cat tree and would recommend it to anyone with active indoor cats. 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 Thoughts If you’re looking for a cat tree for large cats, it means that the tree itself is going to be large. Trees can measure up to nearly 2 metres in height, although some measure under a metre. Consider the height of your ceilings, and don’t forget that your cat will need to be able to stand up on the top platform.Earning perfect scores for setup, quality, size, and value, the Siegfried Cat Tree was, by far, the best option we tried. While assembly took about 50 minutes, the directions were clear, and the process was straightforward. 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.

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.
