Pet products for cat tree scratching post

Searching for a cat tree with scratching posts? Multi-level cat towers give your cat a place to climb, scratch, and rest. Here are the best cat trees for every space.

Choosing the right cat tree

A good cat tree satisfies your cat's natural instincts to climb, scratch, and perch up high. Taller trees suit active cats, while compact models work in apartments. Sisal-wrapped posts are the most durable for heavy scratchers.

What to look for

• Sisal rope posts — more durable than carpet-wrapped alternatives
• Stable base — wide, heavy base prevents tipping when cats jump
• Multiple platforms — cats prefer having several resting spots at different heights
• Cozy hideaway — enclosed spaces give shy cats a sense of security
