13 Modern Cat Trees That Won't Be an Eyesore in Your Home
As most cat owners know all too well, cat trees don't always scream "chic" — they scream "eyesore in the middle of your nicely curated living room." But alas, having a modern cat tree is truly a necessity for any growing feline. The pet accessory is great for keeping your furry friend occupied, and it prevents them from leaving claw marks all over your stylish furniture. Fortunately, thanks to retailers like Amazon and so many other direct-to-consumer furniture brands, we've discovered a bevy of minimalist cat trees and condos that are so aesthetic, you actually won't mind having them set up in your home.
While these beautiful pieces of cat-chitecture (we couldn't help ourselves) will cost you more than a regular ol' cat tree, rest assured they're well worth the investment thanks to their modern and fashionable design. Each tree contains scratching posts, perches, and cubbies that your cat can scurry around and hide in. Whether you want a cat tower that's the height of your wall, a cat mansion that features multiple cubbies and perches, or an aesthetic cat tree that has just a few features, you're bound to find a stylish cat tree that'll suit your home — and your kitten's high-end preferences. We've even included several affordable cat trees from Amazon, Chewy, and Wayfair, so you can still find the best model for your home — even if you're on a tight budget.
Hurry and snag one of these practical cat trees for your home before they sell out — you and your kitty will thank us later.
