Cat Trees, Condos & Scratchers

Assembly is straightforward—most customers complete it in 60-90 minutes using the included tools and instructions. Start with the base platform on a flat surface, then connect vertical posts by hand-tightening before securing with the provided Allen wrench. Attach platforms level-by-level, always checking stability before proceeding upward. The natural sisal scratching posts twist into pre-threaded holes and lock securely into place.

For the larger 76" models like the Babylon, having a second person makes the process easier, though it's not mandatory. Position the finished tree against a wall for maximum stability, and pro tip: after the first week of enthusiastic cat use, go back and retighten all connections—they may have loosened slightly during initial play sessions.

If you encounter any difficulties, our customer service team provides complete assembly support.

Cats don't climb Christmas trees to be destructive. They're seeking height, observation points, and something interesting to climb. Your decorated evergreen is just the most appealing vertical structure in the room during the holidays.

The best solution? Give them something better year-round. Our 72-76" tall cat trees with multiple perches and lookout platforms satisfy that natural climbing drive. Place one of our towers near your Christmas tree location, and suddenly the holiday tree becomes far less interesting. Your cat has a designated climbing structure with better views, superior stability, and textures designed specifically for climbing.

Additional strategies that work: The natural sisal scratching posts redirect scratching behavior away from tree branches. The elevated platforms give cats that "surveying the kingdom" feeling they seek when perching atop decorations. Combine your new cat tree with citrus spray around the Christmas tree base (cats dislike citrus scents), secure ornaments properly, and avoid tinsel entirely.

Real pine Christmas trees pose minimal toxicity risk to cats, though pine needles can cause mild stomach upset if cats chew significant quantities. The bigger safety concerns are stagnant water in the tree stand (which may contain bacteria, fertilizers, or preservatives), glass ornaments and tinsel that pose choking hazards, and electrical cords that can cause injury if chewed.

Artificial trees eliminate the needle and water issues but don't solve the climbing temptation. That's precisely where our cat trees provide the solution—they're the safe, stable, year-round alternative that protects both your cat and your holiday decorations.

The most effective approach is environmental enrichment. When cats have adequate climbing opportunities through dedicated cat furniture like our tall towers, appropriate scratching surfaces with natural sisal posts, and elevated observation perches, they're significantly less interested in investigating potentially dangerous holiday decorations. Think of it as preventive safety—giving cats better alternatives eliminates the risk entirely.

The Pawlio 72" Owner & Pet Shared Bookshelf Cat Tree ($499.99) is an excellent choice for multi-cat households (2-3 cats). Its 2-in-1 design maximizes floor space by combining a modern bookshelf with a multi-level cat tower. Featuring six levels and multiple private cat houses, it allows each cat to claim territory without conflict. This model is a great affordable option, as it's built to last 5-8 years, unlike budget alternatives that need replacing every 12-18 months.

For larger households with 3-5+ cats, the Babylon 76" Extra Large Multi-Cat Tree Tower ($599.99) is engineered with seven separate activity zones. Its 76" tall, reinforced construction handles multiple cats playing simultaneously without wobbling. Dual condos and multiple entry/exit points prevent territorial blocking, which is common with a dominant cat.

If you're working with a tighter budget under $100, our 3-Tier Side Tables accommodate multiple cats on different levels while serving as functional furniture—providing exceptional value for small-space living.
