Fruit Climber Cat Tree

Vetreska

A cat tree is an alluring piece that appeals to a cat's instinctual need to climb and play providing surfaces to scratch, nooks for rest, and perches from which they can survey their surroundings. Also referred to as cat condos or cat towers, these feline-only furniture pieces are a beneficial addition to any home where a cat resides.

In honor of International Cat Day, which is celebrated on August 8, we've pawed together our favorite unconventional cat trees. For those fortunate enough to share a home with a cat (or even luckier, with cats!), we highly recommend you put them on a pedestal with an eye-catching cat tree designed for playing, hiding, and anything else your cat might fancy.

Established by theInternational Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW)这个一年一度的庆典致敬,猫,which are among the most popular household pets across the world, and have provided loyal companionship—along with amusing antics—throughout history. The IFAW, along with other non-profit organizations that help felines in need, is committed to raising awareness for the care and protection that all cats need and deserve. Today is a great day to donate to a local shelter, or consider adopting a feline friend of your own.

Our Top Picks

Vetreska Fruit Frenzy Cat Climber

Fruit Themed Cat Tree

Vetreska

Pros
  • Bright and colorful

  • Soft fleece platforms

  • Jute wrapped posts

Cons
  • No replaceable pieces

的Fruit Frenzy Cat Climber from Vetreska is a colorful cat tree with four fruit-shaped platforms covered in soft fleece. Each cozy level is a different emoji-style fruit, starting with a peach at the top, followed by a pair of cherries and a slice of watermelon in the middle, and a bright tangerine at the base. All levels are connected with sturdy jute wrapped posts for clawing and climbing.

的fruit salad cat tree has a total height just a whisker away from four feet and footprint slightly over two feet wide, but it's not a symmetrical design so keep that in mind while determining where to place it in your home. To clean, a handheld vacuum or a lint roller can be used to pick up loose hair that your cat sheds. There are no removable pieces, which means your cat is less likely to rip anything off, but there also aren't any sections that can easily be replaceable once your cat has clawed through.
