💬 What real owners actually say
Synthesized from 2026 owner reviews & discussions across social media — the things spec sheets leave out.
Stability first. A wobbly tree scares cats off — a wide, heavy base is essential.
Match to your cat. Kittens want ramps; big cats need sturdy, wide perches.
Perches and hideouts. Cats love high lookouts and cozy enclosed spots.
Sisal scratching surfaces. Built-in sisal posts double as a scratcher.
Space and stability. Tall towers suit climbers; compact trees fit small rooms.
Each slider sets how much each criterion matters to you (0 = ignore, 10 = critical).
