What Should You Look For Beyond the Words “Reinforced Base”?
Measure the exact board width. 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.
Read three floor numbers together. Some buyers live in an apartment and honestly can’t find a cat tree that fits in a small space, doesn’t wobble, and doesn’t look terrible. Ramps, safe heated cat beds, and close steps can all help with comfort as most very senior cats will have arthritis, even when some senior cats are much more spry than others.
Why Does a Heavy Thick Bottom Board Matter at Floor Level?
Heavy slabs keep screws snug. People take off the bottom of the cat tree base and add some metal plating or something heavy to the bottom.
The carpet underneath the base makes it wobbly. Many buyers looking for something really sturdy, tall, and stable enough for big cats notice that most standard cat trees seem too flimsy or small.
How Do Four of Our Heavy-Thick-Base Cat Trees Compare?
The cats like to bat at the sisal rope. Owners want to buy a new cat tree for their girls that has sisal rope all around the poles and not that middle sisal part capped on either side by carpet.
There is also a cat condo in every room. The key to a good cat tree is a stable base as the base has pillars on all four corners, and it should be easy to get from one level to the next. Cat trees offer various levels and platforms for cats to climb, explore, and rest, and these platforms are usually covered in soft, plush fabric or durable sisal.
Heavy Thick Single Base vs Multi-Board Base: Which Should You Pick?
A cat likes to sleep stretched out quite often. The base is big enough, it looks very sturdy, and there are big, high platforms, and the included wall strap helps when the owner attached a large hook in the wall and literally tied the tree. The whole thing is built around a wider base, and the wall strap stops tipping so it’s not tipping over on you.
They also really love the trees with baskets. The posts look thinner and taller so it looks like it would more likely tip over, while our 83-inch five-post tower works well since it’s going to take months of close supervision and making high places where the kitty can go. Many owners have a cat tree now that sits next to a wall or window on one side and a couch is next to it on the other side.
The kittens are sleeping on the cat tree. Two average sized cats can comfortably play on it together, and owners want to get them a cat tree that will keep them away from the furniture because they last a long time, are very sturdy and cats love their cat trees.
