Cats are awesome. They lounge, they play and they need places to be a cat. Cat tree options are abundant but finding something that lasts and looks good, that's the challenge! Our home is an evolving place for every member of our family. We're always on the lookout for new additions for our cats to enjoy.

Don't get me wrong, sometimes a good ugly cat tree is their favorite and in certain rooms and in certain situations, maybe we don't mind the big carpet cat tree. However, if you're looking for something cleaner, prettier or more aesthetic that works with home decor, I'm rounding up a bunch of options here!

One thing to keep in mind, better design usually means higher prices.

Thoughtfully designed pieces typically use higher quality materials. Often times the construction is better. In my experience paying a little more is a great investment as our more expensive pieces stay looking nice for years.

Cloud Nine Hammock

First on the list is the Cloud Nine Window Hammock. Without taking up much space you can give your cat the most beautiful bird watching and nap perch. The optional floof blanket is perfect if your cat prefers a plush napping spot, or if you live somewhere it gets cold. The firm felt bed is not only aesthetically pleasing, its very welcoming to cats. Our cat, Dahlia instantly sat on it, even as it was being assembled. It's super easy to put together, by the way! Because we have multiple cats, a lot of windows and fosters, we have three window seats. They all get used regularly!

Key window seat points

1. Sturdy suction cups that can withstand cats jumping onto the hammock.

2. Felt bed is very rigid. Thick and sturdy window seat. It feels secure under a cat's feet.

3. No strings, no fuss. The design is gorgeous and adds something pretty to the window.

4. Easy assembly.

Contempo Cat Tree

Unfortunately Contempo Cat is no longer in business. With rising prices, they had to close their doors. Thankfully there is a similar Floor-to-Ceiling Cat Tree  on the market. I haven't seen it in person but have talked to a few cat parents who feel that it's worth it for the space saving design. We've had our Contempo Cat tree for many years and it is still something cat parents ask us about. If you want something close to ours in the photo, definitely consider the dupe!

Floor-to-Ceiling Cat Tree key points

1. Takes up minimal space as it has a small footprint.

2. Reviews are good.

3. Crafted from wood making it more durable than particle board cat trees.

4. Adjustable height and shelves.

   
   

Movable Cat Tree

I like to call this the "bird watching tower" because it's the perfect height to bring to any window. We own two and although I wouldn't say it's the most aesthetic, it's very versatile and inexpensive. It's lightweight so I can place it near different windows, a door, counter or the bed so my cats can have a new view every few days.

Cat Tree key points

1. Perfect height for window watching.

2. Inexpensive.

3. Includes two scratching posts.

4. Easy to vacuum.

   
   
   
   

Ultimate Scratching Post

Hands down one of the best cat furniture purchases I've made is The Ultimate Scratching Post. There are more aesthetic cat scratchers on the market but the materials make it stand out. We've had ours for 5 years and it's still going strong! It's wrapped in a high quality sisal and comes in brown or gray. The base is sturdy enough to climb and perch on top. We customized ours by taking it apart and wrapping the base and top in contact paper.

Ultimate Scratching Post key points

1. It's tall! Taller than most at 32" so a cat can stretch out and scratch.

2. It's durable. Seven years of scratching and multiple cats. Ours is still in good shape.

3. It's heavy. Some cats are aggressive scratchers and climbers. Ours has never tipped over.

Litter-Robot

Not exactly cat furniture but the Litter-Robot cycles after each use which is a game changer for multi-cat homes. It is helpful if you are gone during the day or just need an extra set of hands. This link gives you a stackable discount, even if there's already a sale! If you've been eyeing a Litter-Robot, receive $50 off a Litter-Robot.

Litter-Robot 4 key points

1. Cycle is quiet.

2. Waste bag removal is easy.

3. Works for certain high-peeing cats

4. It tracks your cat's weights in the app! This is nice if you have multiple cats. Create profiles with a photo of each cat for closer monitoring.

Mau Pets Ivy 3 Cat Tree

It's gorgeous! Truly a pretty cat tree, this piece of furniture has so many features. The Mau Ivy 3 Cat Tree is one of many beautiful cat trees by Mau Pets. With replaceable baskets and washable cushions, it's easy to keep this tree looking pretty. The best part, our cats love it! They often eye each other down for the coveted middle basket. The baskets are spacious enough for a large cat but cozy enough to curl up in.

MauPets Ivy 3 Cat Tree key points

1. The parts are replacable so if anything happens, you can always buy a new basket, cushion etc.

2. The post doubles as a scratcher.

3. 5% of proceeds are donted.

4. 45 day risk free trial.

5. Your cats will look beautiful in it!

Handmade Cat Scratcher

This cat scratcher from CATAYAhome is so unique and something many of us probably need! Although I don't have this cat scratcher, it's gorgeous, practical and the reviews are great! The designer and creator of these cat scratchers offers different patterns, sizes and colors. Truly beautiful and functional!

Wall Mounted Cat Steps

These simple sisal Wall Mounted Cat Steps from Catastrophic Creations are so versatile. They mount into one stud making them easy to put up. We don't have these exact ones as ours are are from Contempo Cat, but I think they're very useful. When it comes to space saving, wall steps are great! They're good for exercise too. Young cats especially need extra places to climb and these might be just what you're looking for!

There are always new, aesthetic and quality cat furniture pieces arriving on the market. We'd love to know which pieces you have in your home!
