Why Do Cat Tree Sizes Often End in Decimal Inches Like 11.8 or 17.7?
Boards start in clean centimeters. 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. A cat likes to stretch and scratch on the large window sill, and an oversized five-post top bed helps when there should be a scratch post in almost every room.

| 17.7 in | 45 cm | Condo length, square base and top bed, and wide base depth |
| 18.8 to 18.9 in | 48 cm | Square base and three-post top bed size |
| 19.6 to 19.7 in | 50 cm | Large condo length and wide base width |
| 23.6 in | 60 cm | Wide single base board length |
| 25.5 to 25.6 in | 65 cm | Oversized five-post top bed and base length |
How Do Common Cat Tree Heights Convert From Inches to Centimeters?
Check your window sill height. 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. 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.
Measure ceiling clearance for towers. 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. If you know your cat is small and lightweight, you will be less concerned around things like the size of the base or the size of the platforms.
How Do Floor Space and Weight Convert Between US and Metric Units?
Fast jumps test bases. Comfortable beds can all help with comfort as most very senior cats will have arthritis, while 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.
Wide boards stop tipping. As they grew up, they both needed their own space, and having separate condo levels also helps stop unnecessary fights. Families had a decent one that had some removable pads that were washable and wood laminate surfaces vs carpet covered, and it still had some sisal and fur covered posts.
They also really love the trees with baskets. Kitties love curling up in the round basket style hammocks on their cat trees, and renters in a very small apartment often don’t have room for a huge cat tree because the sisal rope and carpet are both appealing for scratching.
How Do Our Cat Trees Compare in Both Units?
The kittens are sleeping on the cat tree. It should be relatively easy, like a ramp or easy access steps with a bit of horizontal distance between each other. The base is big enough, it looks very sturdy, and box weight includes the carton where there are big, high platforms to lay on.
They do sell larger perches for bigger cats. They love to snug in the hammock or top which worked great when they were kittens, and now though, they’re quite large and are spilling out the sides. They sleep in a cat tree in two baskets next to each other, while an oversized five-post top bed works well since they love that spot or the little basket at the top.
