Which Cat Tree Shape Fits My Room?
Measure your open wall first. Many apartment owners struggle when they don’t have a lot of floor space currently in a small apartment for a cat tree and still have plenty of vertical wall space.
Match the footprint to traffic. The ones in front of windows get the most use in a home, whereas a biggest cat tree is mostly unused when you don’t actually have a good space to fit it in and your cats don’t want to be in a dark corner.
Why Does a Tree Need More Floor Than Its Base Size?
Ramps reach past the base. You might want to make that base bigger, preferably wider than the top, and a sisal ground ramp helps when the base is big enough, it looks very sturdy, and there are big, high platforms.
The carpet underneath the base makes it wobbly. There should be a scratch post in almost every room, and renters in a very small apartment often don’t have room for a huge cat tree because the whole thing is built around a wider base so it’s not tipping over on you.
Most standard cat trees seem too flimsy or small. There is also a cat condo in every room, and an oversized five-post top bed helps when the key to a good cat tree is a stable base. Prefer a large top bed cozy enough for the cat to sleep on, since a lot of cat trees seem to be made for kitten-sized cats.
The cats like to bat at the sisal rope. Some households have to have at least four of things like window perches and scratching posts, the favorite beds and boxes, and a mountain of the preferred catnip toys. You look for a tower with a wide base to avoid tipping, and something that won’t wobble or fall apart in a few months.
Do Corner and Slim Trees Really Save Space?
A cat likes to sleep stretched out quite often. Many owners have a cat tree that’s connected by screwing cylinders of wood to the base and platforms of the tree, and for some of the screws washers are also provided to tighten up the tree.
Some senior cats are much more spry than others. Several owners bought some sisal rope to replace the worn out bits on scratching posts, and the carpet is in good shape and just seems to need cleaning in a couple of spots.
How Do the Four Shapes Compare Side by Side?
They also really love the trees with baskets. They will only scratch the parts with sisal rope or rough carpet, and you don’t need to have your cat tree double as a scratch post, though many people like them to.
The kittens are sleeping on the cat tree. At first they loved sharing the same cat tree, and as they grew up, they both needed their own space, and having separate trees also helps stop unnecessary fights.
