Best Cat Trees of 2020: FAQs
Before we wrap up this guide and reviews of the best cat trees on the market, let’s answer some cat lovers’ questions!
1. Are cat trees necessary for cats?
Scratching is a basic feline need. Cats must scratch to sharpen their claws and remove dead sheaths of the nail. Cat nails grow in layers, somewhat like the skin of an onion, and scratching peels away the dead pieces. Scratching also provides exercise and stretches kitty cat legs, while cats also scratch to leave their scent, marking their territory. In other words, cat trees are essential for your furry friend, especially if she is shy or anxious. They make your cat feel in control, as it offers a safe place to hide, rest, play, and surveil the surroundings from higher ground.
2. What is the best cat tree for a large cat?
Large cats need sturdy and spacious cat trees. As you have seen from the reviews above, we favor the Bewishome Large Cat Tree and the Feandra Cat Tree.
3. What cat tree should I buy if I have more than one cat?
One cat is usually happy with a sizeable cat tree. However, multiple felines want all the comfort and luxury you can offer, especially if they are willing and happy to share the same tree. Some of the best cat trees for 2 cats or more are the Hamerton Ultra Thick Cat Tree and the Catswall Design Large Curvynest (a veritable four-room luxury apartment for your sophisticated felines).
4. Where is it best to place a cat tree?
The best place to choose for a cat tree is a room where your cat loves to spend most of its time. Experts recommend you place a cat tree in your bedroom, to increase your chances of having a cat that sleeps well throughout the night without scratching at your door to let her in.
5. How tall should a cat tree be?
It mostly depends on your cat, her behavioral patterns, and what you want the cat tree to do. If you want a simple scratching post and resting place for your feline friend, a tree that stands on the floor should be enough. However, if your cat is a passionate climber (of doors and cabinets) and you want to offer her the experience of climbing a tree, you should get it a tall cat tree. Some floor-to-ceiling models are excellent investments for your adventurous feline.
Conclusion
Since cats must scratch, and we delight in sharing our homes with them, we must make sure our feline housemates do not scratch inappropriate places. Corners of sofas, drapes, and wall-to-wall carpet are not optimal choices, so by providing your cat with desirable spots to scratch, the whole family can keep the peace.
Hopefully, you will find this review of the ten best cat trees for luxury-loving felines a helpful place to begin. Remember that whatever cat tree you purchase, you must ensure it is assembled well for your cat’s safety, and closely supervise your cat on it until you are confident it will hold her weight and level of activity.
