How To Pick A Cat Tree

Since the whole point of this article was to get you familiar with all of the best cat trees out there we can’t talk about a specific cat tree niche but rather, about cat trees in general so you’d know why you’re buying something and why it’s the best fit for you when you decide on one.

Cat Tree Use – Cat trees are meant to provide your indoor housed cat with a place where they can exercise, explore, jump around and get tired to stay fit and in their preferred weight range. Another use for them is that they’ll protect your furniture from damage since the idea is that the cat scratches the surfaces at the tree. Moreover, cats won’t ruin your stuff on the shelves, table, and so on by jumping all around in your house or apartment.

Will My Cat Use It? – It’s unrealistic to expect that a cat will adjust to a tree right when your first get it. There are some things you can do to ease the transition and get your cat familiar with the tree. One thing you can do is place treats on various levels and places on the tree and another thing you can do is to place an already familiar toy on the tree so that the cat can realize the tree is nothing to be afraid of. Of course, time and patience are a must in these situations as well.

Cat Tree Placement – It’ll be best to place a tree next to a wall or even better, in a corner. One reason is to ensure that the tree won’t tip over while another is that cats are territorial creatures and like to have a great view of their surroundings. You can place the tree in the far corner of the room that offers the best view of the room so that no corner of the room is left unchecked.

Tree Stability – Cat trees are made pretty stable as it is. With reinforced or weighted bases, 2nd and 3rd levels, and weight dispersed so that they’re heaviest at the bottom and lightest at the top, there’s barely any fear that they’ll tip over. Nonetheless, it can happen but some trees are made in a way you can secure them to walls from the back. Some floor-to-ceiling cat trees are also pretty stable and there’s always the option to go with cat wall climbers as well.

Carpeted VS Non-Carpeted Cat Trees – Non-carpeted trees maybe tend to look nicer than carpeted ones but carpets serve an important function – cats feel more secure when climbing. They’ll grip the carpets with their claws and there will be barely any fear that they’ll fall. Also, carpets may serve as scratching posts.

Tree Heights – Tree height can determine whether a tree is made to be used by a kitten or an adult cat. Small cats and kittens will benefit more from trees whose height doesn’t go over the average height of a standard sofa which is 36-in. However, these trees can still be used by large cats if the features are big enough for them.

Common Cat Tree Features And Their Uses – Tree features are divided into play and rest features. Play features include platforms, sisal rope wrapped posts and anything that’s placed at different heights than the other that a cat can climb to. Other features are condos, hammocks, and cushioned platforms. Condos are a great way to offer a cat a safe place to hide away if it’s stressed or fearful while other rest features are simply there for the cat to lounge around. Cushioned bed platforms are typically going to be placed on the highest point of the tree due to the already discussed, cats’ needs for keeping an eye on their surrounding.

Tree Prices – The prices are various and depend on the height and features of the certain cat tree. You can find the models for from about 80 dollars to 300 dollars or more. The price will be a bit more expensive if you need to pay for shipping. However, most popular sellers such as Amazon, Walmart, Wayfair, and others provide you with low or even free shipping.
