8 High-Flying Accessories for Climbing Cats

If your cat’s a climber, there are tons of accessories out there that can help him embrace his love of heights. Whether you live in a small space or have tons of room, there are plenty of options for all of the places that high-climbing kitties call home.

Most cats usually fall into one of two categories: bush dweller or tree dweller. The former tend to prefer staying low on the ground, while the latter love to climb as high as possible. Cat trees and perches are just a few of the options that will allow your tree dweller to rise above it all without using your curtains or furniture to do so.

It’s usually a good idea to choose something that will allow your cat to be at eye level with you. Or, just consider her highest perching spot, and then find an option below that’s roughly the same height.

A Faux Tree for Your Little Climber

While this faux tree only stands about five feet, it’s still attractive to your feline family members—especially those who like to climb real trees.

With this one, you won’t have to call the fire department to get her to come back down, though, which is always a plus. One of the best things about this tree is that it’s more aesthetically pleasing than those basic carpeted cat trees.

Over Six Feet of Climbing Fun

This cat tree and scratching post is nothing like your normal carpet-covered cat tree—it saves space instead of looking like kitty clutter.

Places to Climb and Hide

This tree gives kitties over eight feet of climbing space, with lots of places to hide and relax. There are five areas on which to chill on this cat tree, two of which are comfy condos, so there should be no fighting over spaces to nap.

This one is particularly perfect for multi-cat households.

Floor-to-Ceiling Climbing Comfort

A Wall-Mounted Bridge

Not all kitty climbers take up a bunch of floor space. This cool cat bridge only requires a bit of wall space for your cats to climb around and have fun.
