Cat Tree Size Guide
Pick the right cat tree for your cat's age, energy, and your space.
Quick guide by cat type
| Cat profile | Recommended height | Pawly pick |
|---|---|---|
| Senior, small spaces, gentle scratchers | 40-65 cm | 49 cm Seagrass Tree |
| Average adult cat | 65-100 cm | 65 cm Sisal Tower |
| Active adult, multi-cat home | 130-150 cm | 138 cm Sisal Tower |
| Climbers, larger breeds, multi-cat | 170-200+ cm | 199 cm Sisal Tower |
How to measure your space
- Width: Allow at least 60 cm of clear floor space around the base
- Height: Leave 20 cm above the tallest platform
- Stability check: Place on hard floor (carpet can cause wobble); avoid placing near windows that can swing
Materials cheat sheet
- Sisal rope: Most durable, ideal for active scratchers
- Seagrass: Natural, softer, beautiful in modern interiors
- Plush: Cosy for sleeping platforms; not great as a primary scratching surface
