Cat Trees for Low Ceilings & Basements

Cats are funny like that. A wider heavy base is far better than a taller base, and a 59 in Z59 across 5.61 sq ft holds steady once the owner attached a large hook in the wall and literally tied the tree.

Measure floor space first. Flimsy cat trees wobble, wear out fast, and frustrate large or active cats, and a 16.5 by 13.8 in top perch makes sense when the key to a good cat tree is a stable base.

Tape the footprint out. The cats like to bat at the sisal rope, and 34.4 lb boxes for 12 lb cats helps when the posts look thinner and taller so it looks like it would more likely tip over.
