Frequently Asked Questions
How tall should a cat tree be?
A cat tree should generally be 50-85% of your ceiling height for active cats. Senior cats and kittens benefit from shorter trees (40-50% of ceiling height) with easier access to platforms. Most cats enjoy being able to survey their territory from a high vantage point.
How many platforms does a cat tree need for multiple cats?
For multiple cats, aim for at least one platform per cat plus one extra. This helps reduce competition and gives each cat their own space. Active cats benefit from additional climbing platforms.
Where should I place a cat tree?
Place cat trees near windows for outdoor viewing, in social areas where the family spends time, or in corners where cats can observe the room. Avoid isolated rooms where cats rarely go.
