Our Most Unique Cat Trees That Look Like Trees
Cat Trees That Look Like Trees are essential to having happy, healthy felines. They provide them with space to explore, sleep, play and scratch. All of these activities release energy and decrease anxiety. And while we like to offer our cats as much as possible in terms of stress relief and interactive play, some of the cat tree and condo options out there are underwhelming when it comes to appearance. Bland platforms with boring carpet get old quickly—especially if you want more than one in your home. Whether you’re creating a full cat room this year or simply upgrading your current furniture and kitten, we’ve found the most unique cat trees of 2024 listed below. Get ready to feast your eyes on some incredibly creative cat accouterments!

How We Chose the Most Unique Cat Trees That Look Like Trees
When looking for Cat Trees That Look Like Trees that boast both form and function, our first step was to reach out to two feline experts to find out what to look for in these particular structures. After taking their professional advice into consideration, we then pored over hundreds of user reviews, asked around to our own cat-owner editors and looked at editor- and reader-preferred retailers to compile our list. In terms of what makes a cat tree unique, we considered materials, shape, color and extra features like dangling toys and ramps. And because style is highly personalized, our selection includes sleek and modern picks as well as those that are quirky and bright, to ensure that there’s a cat tree in our roundup that’s just as unique as your furry friend.
1. Made4Pets Wood Cat Tree
WHAT WE LIKE
- versatile design
- lots of places to perch
- machine washable pads
WHAT WE DON’T LIKE
- may not be stable enough for large breeds
More than 1,200 reviewers agree this is a 5-star cat tree. With six different levels on which to climb, lounge, snooze and play, cats won’t bore easily. This tower is made of wood (which makes it easy to wipe down and gives it a cleaner look than many carpet-covered towers) and the detachable cushions are washable. It also comes complete with a strap that connects the tower to the wall for improved stability and nonstick pads, so you won’t have to worry about your kitties knocking the whole thing down, either. Finally, the sleek design and neutral colors make it a versatile choice for many different decors.
FAST FACTS
- Size: 22.8″ L x 15.7″ W x 65.6″ H; covered cat condo is 13.4” L x 13.4” W x 12.8” H
- Material: wood, natural sisal
- Features: cat condo, cloth hammock, multiple perches, scratching posts, dangling toys
- Care: machine washable pads, wipe clean
2. Pawz Road Cactus Cat Tree
WHAT WE LIKE
- colorful
- budget-friendly
- sisal scratching posts
WHAT WE DON’T LIKE
- not advised for cats over 12 pounds
You don’t have to spend your annual grocery budget on a unique cat tree. This adorable cactus-themed option comes in at just $40 (or $65 for a slightly taller version) and provides cats with four levels, two perches and a hidey hole for naps. It’s 32 inches tall and cute, so you won’t have to sacrifice style for functionality. Not a cactus fan? It comes in a purple flower design too! Pair it with some cat-friendly plants or a giant cactus-shaped cat scratching post for even more vibrant nature vibes.
FAST FACTS
- Size: 21.5″ L x 15.6″ W x 32″ H; cat condo is 13” diameter x 11.8” H
- Material: natural sisal, soft plush, engineered wood
- Features: cat condo, two perches, scratching posts, dangling toy
- Care: spot clean
3. Catry Cat Tree
WHAT WE LIKE
- bold colors
- unique shapes
- weight limit is 20 pounds
- wider base
WHAT WE DON‘T LIKE
- some reviewers say it wobbles despite the wide base
Like we said, these cat trees aren’t your typical bland, beige stands. This brightly colored (dare we say, neon?) option will make any space pop: Check out its green, teal, red, yellow and pink colors. Lots of reviewers say this cat tree is even prettier in person. We also love the dangling bugs cats can play with and the round mushroom bed. The base is also wider than many cat trees, which adds stability to the product. While the weight limit is 20 pounds, be careful in multi-cat households where the combined weight may be more than that.
FAST FACTS
- Size: 32” H X 18” W X 26” D; cat condo is 15.5” in diameter
- Material: manufactured wood, rope, cardboard, faux fur
- Features: cat condo, three perches, scratching post, dangling toys
- Care: spot clean
WHAT WE LIKE
- whimsical and colorful
- sisal scratching post
WHAT WE DON’T LIKE
- confusing assembly instructions
- may not last long
- no condo feature
This company knows what it means to combine fun themes with feline needs. The Moonlight cat tree evokes whimsy and inspires photoshoots. We love the little pops of gold on the dangling stars and the peek-a-boo clouds. Plus, there are various sizes and styles to choose from (like a 65-inch-tall tree with a ladder) based on your cat’s preferences (and your space). One potential issue is this tree’s longevity. The materials aren’t as high quality as many of the trees on our list, so this tree may not last long against heavy scratchers or in multi-cat households.
FAST FACTS
- Size: 23.2″ L x 18.89″ W x 50.3″ H
- Material: sisal, plush terry
- Features: four perches, hanging hammock, dangling toys, scratching post
- Care: spot clean
WHAT WE LIKE
- great for large breeds
- sturdy and long-lasting
- attractive
WHAT WE DON’T LIKE
- expensive
- no returns or refunds
- no condo element
Brought to you by the same feline experts who created the Litter-Robot 3 Connect and the Litter-Robot 4, this tower has a sleek, black metal frame and four wooden platforms in a walnut finish. So, yeah, it’s definitely made for modern smart homes full of crisp, clean lines. The sisal scratch pads are all vegetable-dyed and the pyramid offers some serious height for cats who love to perch. Major drawbacks include their no return or refund policy and the fact that it requires an electric drill to put together (though reviewers say assembly is a cinch and the tower is sturdy). On the flip side, each perch can hold up to 35 pounds, so large breeds rejoice!
FAST FACTS
- Size: 39.02” W x 17.24” D x 63.82” H; holes are 9” in diameter
- Material: composite wood, metal frame, sisal, felt pads
- Features: four perches, felt cat scratching pads on each level
- Care: wipe clean, spot clean
