On2 Pets Cat Tree with Leaves Made in USA, Cat House & Cat Activity Tree, Multi-Level Cat Condo for Indoor Cats

Product Information

On that same perch, they very smartly made the fur topper removable by using what looks like tied cord and hooks screwed onto the bottom of the perch. Excellent idea for washing, and I’ll probably do that when I get around to replacing ours! With multiple platforms, this 143cm sturdy tree has plenty of space to climb and also comes with several spots ideal for relaxing and napping. When looking at cat trees, think about what your cat most enjoys doing and use that to inform your decision. For example, if they love to climb up high, then get a tall tree. Or if they are playful, invest in a tree with toys, scratch posts and multiple platforms. What else should I look for in a cat tree? No longer do you need to install an ugly, bright green monstrosity that takes over your front room. Now, you can choose from a variety of colours and materials to blend in perfectly with its environment. Beige cat trees are our most popular!

Having a cat tree/condo with leaves on it, or one that was designed to look like a real tree, was something I’d thought a lot about considering my obsession with English ivy used for interior decor. Obviously, I wouldn’t dare have real ivy hanging around a cat tree. It’s toxic to cats and we all know how curious they can be about nibbling on house plants.The fake stuff these days can be pretty darn convincing, however, so the fact that I’d have to go fake never bothered me. And boy does a pop of green add some cheerfulness to a house. The leaf-shaped platforms feature soft reversible cushions so you can alternate between two colours: cream or beige. And even better, the cushions are removable and machine-washable (at 30°C) if they get dirty. Pros I have just bought this one [Cozy Pet Sale Cat Tree] but not yet assembled. There are loads of different options available and all seem a lot cheaper than Pets at Home etc.” (Tried and tested by Mumsnet user Kittekats)Faux vines—mine are old from Jo-Ann (Note: don’t use faux plants if your cats like to eat them. My cats don’t touch them, but would eat and throw up real plants.) The first step for my DIY cat tree using a real tree was…to find a real tree and prep the branches! Once our branches were sufficiently dry, we stripped the bark off and then finished and sealed them. On to design. You might be drawn to a cat tree that looks like an enchanted forest straight out of a fairy tale, but remember, this is your cat’s personal space. Some cats prefer open spaces to survey their kingdom, while others want cozy hideaways. Match the design to your cat’s preferences. Trust me, they’ll thank you with purrs and headbutts. Material Matters: Durability and Cat-Friendliness

Attach the branches to the main base piece, the plywood, by screwing 2.5" screws up through the bottom of the plywood and into the branches. In our testing, the Cat Activity Tree didn't shake at all while in use, and its components fit together well. While we're always wary of the relative durability of carpeted cat trees, the seven different scratching posts should keep your cats claws in the right place.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. Material and Construction Quality: Durable and environmentally friendly 0.6-inch MDF boards, natural sisal ropes, and plushy faux-fur fabrics. 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. We also added Liquid Nailson the bottom of each branch before screwing them on. Next, we built out and finished thebase. We built a raised edge all the way around using 1″ x 3″ pine pieces cut to length.

Made from sturdy particleboard and finished with a soft plush cover, you can be sure that your cat is safe and comfortable. But we recommend that you place this tree up against a wall for maximum stability. Pros Honestly, if you want a totally realistic cat tree that you don’t have to make yourself, this is your only real option. Have you ever wondered why your cat seems hell-bent on scratching everything? Far from simply indulging in a destructive streak, scratching is vital for a cat’s wellbeing. It facilitates the shedding of the dead outer layer of their claws, enables territory marking, and provides a full-body stretch. That scratching post integrated into the cat tree? Think of it as a mini health resort for your kitty’s claws. And if you’re thinking, “But wait, my cat is an indoor beast, why would they care about a tree?” Let me let you in on a secret – your indoor kitty still has that wild jungle cat lurking inside them. So, why not bring the jungle indoors? Plus, it’s not just about fun and games. These trees are a great way to provide much-needed physical and mental stimulation for your cats, keeping them healthy and happy. The other style of 'realistic' cat trees that we are offered are the traditional carpeted cat tree style, but our artisans craft them skillfully using precise carpet folding into real-looking trees! The Kitty Hollow cat tree is without a doubt our most popular model in this genre. Pictured at left, it comes in three different heights (63 inch the tallest).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. While the tree itself can hold larger cats, the condo and perches aren’t roomy enough for big breeds. If you have a boisterous or playful cat (or cats), then you’ll need a heavy-duty tree that can withstand rough play and weight. The Feandrea Cat Tree has a frame made from strong MDF as well as a reinforced base and an anti-tip kit, so you can rest assured that your cats can enjoy playing safely.

Another thing to look for is how easy it is to assemble or if it comes pre-assembled. You don’t want to buy a cat tree that’s impossible to put together but, at the same time, pre-assembled cat trees are often more expensive. What’s the best cat tree? While this cat tree doesn’t have leaves to really make it look like a real tree, it does have something that many others don’t: real wood! The four-tiered tree consists of plush covered platforms that are well staggered and easy for all cats to climb. And speaking of easy, we like that this cat tree comes with detailed instructions and tools that make assembling the tree a breeze. ProsOur cats love cat trees and most cat owners already know how important they are for exercise, mental stimulation, and of course afternoon naps in the sun. Design and Aesthetic: A vibrant green, cactus-shaped cat tree, adding a unique flair to home decor. What I Love About It: The variety of wood used is amazing and gives this tree a beautiful look. I love the contrast between the light and dark wood. Budget-friendly doesn’t mean you should settle for less as the Cozy Pet Sale Cat Tree proves. This multi-level tree comes complete with three dangling toy mice, three viewing spots, a cat house, ladder and heavy-duty sisal scratching posts - which means your cat won’t get bored ever again. If you’re looking for realism, this is one of the most realistic trees you can find without breaking the bank and having to go the route of a boutique craftsman. At 43 inches (109 cm), it’s tall enough to be interesting to most cats without completely taking over the room. There are three platforms that get increasingly smaller to give it a proper tree shape and each platform has a small amount of carpet that can be used for scratching.
