Cat Trees & Condos

Cat trees and condos give a cat height, which matters more than most owners realise. Vertical space lets a cat survey its territory, escape from other pets or children, and use far more of a small apartment than the floor alone allows. Pet Corner Dubai stocks cat trees and condos from NutraPet, Petsafe and Four Paws.

What makes our cat tree range stand out

1. Genuine height rather than token levels

Cats want to be above eye level. A tree tall enough to look down on the room gets used constantly, while a low one is usually ignored.

2. Sisal-wrapped posts that double as scratchers

Building the scratching surface into the furniture means one item covers two needs, which suits apartment living where floor space is limited.

3. Enclosed condos for hiding

Cats need somewhere to retreat as much as somewhere to climb. A covered box within the tree gives a nervous cat a defensible spot.

4. Stable bases that do not rock

A tree that wobbles when a cat lands on the top platform will be abandoned. Base weight is the most important build feature.

Frequently asked questions

Why do cats need vertical space?

Height is where a cat feels safe. Being able to get above floor level reduces stress, gives an escape route from other pets, and effectively increases the usable size of a home. In multi-cat households it also lets cats avoid each other, which prevents a great deal of conflict.

Where should I put a cat tree?

By a window if possible, since watching outside is one of the main things an indoor cat does with its day. Also in a room the household actually uses, because cats want to be near their people rather than isolated in a spare room.

My cat ignores the tree. What should I do?

Move it, first. Location is almost always the issue rather than the tree. Put it where your cat already chooses to sit, add catnip to the posts, and place a familiar blanket on a platform. Never lift the cat onto it, which most cats find threatening.

How many cat trees does a multi-cat home need?

More than one, in different rooms. A single tree becomes a resource one cat can control, which creates tension. Several perches spread around the home is better than one large tree.
