Amazon Basics Cat Condo Tree Tower With Hammock Bed And Scratching Post - 16 x 20 x 16 Inches, Grey

Product Information

Our Whisker Cat Tower is still as indestructible and unchanged as when we first set it up several months ago. It's hard to imagine a more durable alternative. The only real downside is the assembly, which requires a Phillips screwdriver, hammer, and an electric drill with two different drill bit sizes. While the results were worth it, we did spend nearly two frustrating hours getting it together. This unique addition to your home has an adjustable bottom bed/platform that allows it to be hung from the wall or ceiling and angled to suit. While it doesn’t come with a cushion, one could easily be placed inside for maximum comfort. Budgeting properly is just as important as your cat’s comfort, especially if part of the funds that you would use for that brand-new, overly extravagant cat tree is supposed to feed your beloved feline next week. We all know how fussy cats can be, and breaking the bank for something our four-legged friend won’t even look at can be a devastating blow.

There are various styles of cat scratching furniture on the market, from simple scratching boards to scratching mats and scratching posts. Many cat scratching posts also offer a platform for your cat to look out from, although these do not offer such high climbing opportunities as many floor to ceiling cat trees. Many cat scratching mats and cat scratching boards can also be mounted on a wall, making it easier for your cat to stretch out to its heart’s desire. The chance to climb and watch the world from a high vantage point are the obvious features missing from these alternative scratching options, but an advantage is that scratch mats and scratch boards need considerably less space than most scratching trees. This makes them the ideal choice for cat owners without much spare living space. Although they do not offer your cat the chance to climb vertically, if they are combined with other viewing and playing options then space-saving scratching furniture such as this can be a great way to make a small apartment species-appropriate for your cat! For example, you could choose a shelf to furnish as a cat den, with a comfortable cushion or cardboard cat house that would make it ideal as a lookout platform. Each platform has little plastic ports—or holes—where you insert the branches. The branches themselves are about 18 inches long and made from PVC, with non-toxic silk leaves that cats can munch on without shedding plastic shavings. These modular branches can be easily replaced, which On2Pets offers in 8- and 24-branch bundles. Leaves come in ovate "Zen Green" or in multi-season maple leaves, with "Mixed Maple," "Orange Blaze," and "Deep Plum" allowing you to choose between your favorite shades of Autumn. Overall, we felt the On2Pets Modern Cat Tree looked even better than in product photos, and the flexibility of the branches had us spreading and dressing them for maximum verisimilitude. When you think of a cat tree, you might think of a big tower that takes up a lot of room in your living space. This doesn't have to be the case, though. Yes, you can get large towers with multiple layers of activities and places to hide but you can also get smaller ones. They may not have as much height to them as some of the bigger ones but they'll still have the all-important rest and play places.A scratching tree is the perfect retreat for your cat, as well as offering a fantastic lookout platform at great heights Cat trees combine multiple ways for your cat or cats to play, socialize, and relax. They can offer elevated observation posts, scratchers, places to nap, and multi-level exercise spaces. The best cat tree will fulfill a wide range of your cat's instincts for climbing, scratching, and play. They may even spare your furniture. 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. The base plate of this cat tree is reinforced to ensure overall stability. Pesofer cat tree is easy to assemble and comes with a one-year warranty. 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.

But why do cats like high places? Well it's a natural position for them because it taps into their natural instinct to watch the world go by – just in case something passes which makes them curious. In the wild, cats like to look down on potential prey and living the high life also offers protection from danger. In that sense, they're preferable to the best cat bed, most of which tend to sit on the ground. The Hey-brother cat tree features a removable and well-padded platform cushion. Also, there are sisal wrapped scratching posts that will enable your cat to sharpen its claws. High quality products from RHRQuality BeNeLux and Europe's largest and leading brand products for cats! 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.Around 2014 we started to specialize in Cat Trees for large or big cats. Or for costumers of course who really wanted a much stronger and more beautiful cat tree in their house than the market offered. We like to think "Out of the box" and make unique designs with sometimes exiting colors. Most will come with a bed, cocoon or cave for your cat to go and sleep in. They will often have various levels that they can jump up and down, too. 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!

No matter how clean they are, cats get dirty from time to time. Purchasing a bed that you can wash will save you a great deal of hassle down the line when your outdoor cat drags mud all over the plush fabric of their bedding or when that troublesome puppy gets pond water all over their feline sibling’s possessions. Weight Limit 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. 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!Perches: Look for surfaces that are easy to access from lower surfaces, with enough space that your cat lie down. The Vesper High Base is named for its top observation platform, which is 47.8 inches off the ground—a maximum height usefully in between more compact and much larger cat trees. Beneath the top platform is a "cubed den" middle level, a lower cushioned platform, and the 22.1-inch square base, which provides access to all four wrapped pillars for scratching. Rather than the more commonly found sisal, the posts on the High Base are wrapped in seagrass, which is generally regarded as softer and more stain-resistant. While your cats will love scratching it, there's a good likelihood that you'll need to re-wrap the legs of the Vesper High Base sooner than you would with a sisal alternative. It’s natural for felines to want to scratch, which is why you should make sure that the cat tree you buy offers several scratching areas. Ideally, you should invest in a cat tree with a lot of sisal-covered scratching posts as this material is highly durable and is better for your cat than ropes. Use A Buying Guide Enough places so that several cats can use the scratching post at the same time to sleep, rest or play.

This article was written by Steven Asarch, a freelance writer and product expert, for The Spruce. A devout cat dad of two, he has expert experience figuring out which products are perfect for them.Steven has previously analyzed testing data, tried out products at home, and provided recommendations for other categories of cat products, including catnip toys, wand toys, litter disposal systems, and also wrote an exhaustive list of the essentials you should have before welcoming a new kitten into your home.We had two cats try out the On2Pets Modern Cat Tree, and both of them loved the combination of perch and hiding spot provided by the foliage—"it seems to make them feel more in touch with their wild instincts," our tester noted. Our cats also loved the artificial turf base, and, despite using it as an occasionally scratch pad, we've yet to notice any wear and tear. 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. This roundup was written by Andrew Whalen, an editor for The Spruce Pets with hundreds of hours of experience testing pet products, both in our labs and at home. Whalen lives with two rescue cats, Church and Wally, who have wildly different styles of play. Their input and emotional support was crucial to the cat tree testing process. While several of our favorite cat trees have removable pads and other surfaces, machine washable features are much more rare. For removable items, your best approach is to typically to hand wash them in the sink and allow them to air dry fully before replacing them on the cat tree. We also like the included memory foam pads, which attach to the top and bottom platforms with strips of hook-and-loop tape. These pads are cozy and conform well to your cat's body, plus you can remove them for washing or spot cleaning. Unfortunately, the pads are not machine washable. There's also a removable sisal scratch pad and a dangling rope with three rattan toys. Another appreciable feature is that all of these accessories are easily replaceable, with Catit selling separate plush pads, rattan ball toys, scratchy sisal pads, and even replacement seagrass-wrapped posts.
