Modern Cat Trees

Sturdy enough for claws. Good-looking enough for the living room.

A modern cat tree for your living room

A modern cat tree for your living room

A modern cat tree has to stay put when your cat takes a running leap at it, and it should still look like furniture in your living room. LucyBalu cat trees are simply built from powder-coated metal and sisal or paper rope, in white or anthracite. The PLATEAU cat tree is 82 cm (32 in) tall and weighs about 15 kg (33 lb). Its sisal post on beech wood supports a wool felt perch with a raised backrest, where your cat can doze and keep an eye on the room.

Cat tree for small spaces

If floor space is tight, a single scratching post is often enough. The SCRATCHPOLE scratching post has 70 cm (28 in) of sisal on a beech wood post and stands on a flat metal base 45 cm (18 in) across. The PAPERPOLE scratching post is 77 cm (30 in) tall, wrapped in paper rope and stands on a round base 39 cm (15 in) across. Both have a Knot Ball toy hanging at the top.

The PAPERPOLE scratching post is 77 cm (30 in) tall, wrapped in paper rope and stands on a round base 39 cm (15 in) across. Both have a Knot Ball toy hanging at the top.

The best cat tree is the one that suits your cat and your home. If your cat likes to lie up high and keep an eye on everything, the PLATEAU with its perch and backrest is a good fit. If your cat mostly scratches and stretches out long, a scratching post like the SCRATCHPOLE with sisal or the PAPERPOLE with paper rope is enough. If your cat loves to climb, a cat wall is the alternative to a cat tree.

For large cats like Maine Coons, Norwegian Forest Cats or sturdy British Shorthairs, stability matters most. The PLATEAU weighs about 15 kg (33 lb) and stands on a 49 × 49 cm (19 × 19 in) steel base. With the SCRATCHPOLE, your cat stands on the base while scratching and weighs it down. If you want more height, mount elements on the wall. SWING, STRAIGHT, WAVE, CATWALK and STEPS XL each hold up to 15 kg (33 lb). Learn more on our Cat wall page.

A cat tree should be tall enough for your cat to stretch out fully while scratching. The SCRATCHPOLE has 70 cm (28 in) of sisal for that, the PAPERPOLE is 77 cm (30 in) tall and the PLATEAU is 82 cm (32 in) overall. Mount wall scratchers like SCRATCHPAD or CATWALK at least 20 cm (8 in) above the floor so your cat can stretch out fully while scratching.

Yes. Modern cat trees skip the plush and the many levels and rely on a few good materials. LucyBalu cat trees are made of powder-coated metal, sisal or paper rope and wool felt, in white or anthracite. The PLATEAU needs only 50 × 49 cm (20 × 19 in) of floor space, and the PAPERPOLE stands on a round base 39 cm (15 in) across and fits next to a hallway door too.

For two cats, two scratching spots in different places often work better than one big cat tree, so neither cat has to wait or back off. A PLATEAU with a perch in the living room and a SCRATCHPOLE in the hallway go well together. For more resting spots up high, add a cat climbing wall. Its wall elements hold up to 15 kg (33 lb).

Yes, every cat tree in this collection has a replaceable post. For the PLATEAU, the replacement post and the replacement wool felt pad are sold separately. For the SCRATCHPOLE you swap the post, and for the PAPERPOLE the two post sections. That way you only replace what is worn, and your cat keeps its familiar spot.

Put the new cat tree where your cat already scratches, for example next to the sofa, in the hallway or close to where it sleeps. Scratching is also a way of marking territory, so a spot in the middle of things works better than a quiet corner. Lure your cat with a game at the post. On the SCRATCHPOLE, the Knot Ball helps. And give your cat a few days.

What to look for when buying a cat tree

What to look for when buying a cat tree

A cat tree should be tall enough for your cat to stretch out fully while scratching. For most cats, a post of about 70 cm (28 in) or more is enough. A stable base matters just as much. If the cat tree wobbles, your cat will avoid it. So look for a heavy cat tree or a wide base that your cat stands on while scratching.

Sisal or paper rope

Sisal stands up to strong claws for a long time. On PLATEAU and SCRATCHPOLE, it is wrapped around a beech wood post. PAPERPOLE is wrapped in paper rope, a good choice if your cat prefers scratching cardboard to sisal. The PLATEAU perch has a wool felt pad.

Replacement parts instead of a new cat tree

Sooner or later every scratching post wears out. With LucyBalu, you just swap the post or the pad, and the base and perch stay. You will find all parts under Replacement parts. If you are short on floor space, a cat climbing wall is an alternative to a cat tree. Our magazine article Goodbye, cat tree? Let your cat climb the wall instead shows what that looks like.
