Seagrass Cat Tree with Bed, 49 cm

Description

Cats want height. In a small flat, height usually means the top of the fridge or the back of your armchair. A full-size cat tree would solve it, if you had a spare square metre and did not mind a carpeted tower in the living room.

This small cat tree fits where a big one cannot. It has a seagrass-wrapped post for scratching and a plush bed on top for naps, with a hanging toy below. The base is only 34 cm (13.4 in) across. For kittens and small cats, it is a lookout and a bed in the footprint of a houseplant.

Purpose: a small cat tree for flats with no room for a big one

Cats feel safer when they can watch from above. A raised bed gives them that, and a post next to it gives them somewhere to scratch on the way up. Without either, cats climb whatever is available, and shelves get cleared one ornament at a time.

A compact tree concentrates those jobs in one small spot. Put it by a window and it becomes the place your cat chooses to sit, instead of the kitchen counter.

Seagrass instead of carpet

The post is wrapped in seagrass, a natural fibre with a firm, woven texture that claws can catch. It looks calmer in a living room than bright carpet, and it gives your cat a clear place to scratch.

Materials & make: how the small cat tree is built

The base is chipboard covered in plush. A post wrapped in seagrass rises from the base to a round bed lined with plush and edged with jute. A small toy hangs from the bed on a cord.

The tree arrives in parts and needs to be assembled. Tighten every connection before your cat uses it, and check them again every few weeks.

A bed with a rim

The bed has a raised edge, so your cat can curl up and rest their chin on the side while they watch the room. The inner diameter is 29 cm (11.4 in), enough for a kitten or a small cat to curl up.

Fit: which cats the small cat tree suits

• 34 cm (13.4 in) diameter, 49 cm (19.3 in) tall
• Bed inner diameter 29 cm (11.4 in), post diameter 7 cm (2.8 in)
• Maximum cat weight 3 kg (6.6 lb)

Sizing: Suits kittens and small cats up to 3 kg. Larger cats need a sturdier tree.

Good matches

• Kittens in their first homes
• Small adult cats up to 3 kg (6.6 lb)
• Flats and bedrooms where floor space is tight

Where to use something else

Cats heavier than 3 kg (6.6 lb) should use a larger, heavier tree. Jumping onto a small tree with a heavy cat can tip it. If your kitten will grow into a large cat, plan to move up to a bigger tree later.

Where to put it

Place it on a flat floor next to a window or near where your cat already rests. Keep it away from doorways where it might get knocked. A corner gives it extra stability.

Growing with your kitten

Kittens grow fast. This tree suits the first months and small adult cats up to 3 kg (6.6 lb). Weigh your cat every few weeks. When they get close to the limit, bring in a larger tree for daily use. The small tree can move to a quiet room as a second scratching spot. Many cats keep using a small post for scratching long after they outgrow the bed.

The day it is for

Afternoon sun crosses the living room floor. Your kitten climbs into the plush bed by the window and curls up with one paw over the rim. The pigeons on the balcony rail get watched for an hour. Later, a few long scratches down the seagrass, a swipe at the hanging toy, and back to the bed. The curtains stay in one piece.

Care

• Vacuum the plush bed and base with a brush attachment.
• Brush the seagrass to remove loose fibres and fur.
• Check the hanging toy and remove it if it frays.
• Re-tighten the post and bed connections every few weeks.
