Scratching and climbing aren't bad behaviour, they're just part of being a cat. Our range goes from cute mini scratchers for small spaces to towering cat trees with ladders, hammocks and cubbies. Your cat will act like it was their idea.

How to Choose a Cat Tree or Scratching Post

The right one depends on how your cat likes to scratch, how high they like to climb and how much room you have at home.

Should you get a cat tree or a scratching post?

Get a scratching post if space is tight or your cat mostly wants something to scratch. Get a cat tree if your cat also likes to climb, nap up high or keep an eye on the household. Cat trees combine scratching posts with platforms, hammocks and hideaways, so your cat can scratch, climb and nap in one spot.

How tall should a cat tree or scratching post be?

Tall enough for your cat to stretch out fully, and steady enough not to wobble when they lean on it, as RSPCA NSW advises. Our compact scratching posts suit kittens, small spaces and quick scratches, while adult cats get their full stretch from a taller cat tree. Use the Height filter above to see trees under 100cm, 100 to 150cm or over 150cm.

What should a cat scratcher be made of?

Sisal rope is a popular choice, because it's tough enough to take a beating and gives claws something to grip. Some cats prefer other textures, such as cardboard or fabric, so if yours ignores one, try another. The Fruity Cat Scratcher Ball is a fun pick for cats who like to scratch down low.

Cat Tree & Scratching Post FAQs

How do I get my cat to use a scratching post instead of the couch?

Put the post right next to the spot they're already scratching, and make sure it's at least as tall and sturdy as the couch arm they've chosen. Make the couch less tempting while they learn, and praise them when they use the post. Never punish your cat for scratching. It's normal behaviour, and punishment can make things worse.

Do cats prefer vertical or horizontal scratchers?

Some cats like to stretch up, others like to scratch along the floor, and plenty enjoy both. If you're not sure, offer one of each and see which one gets the attention.

How many cat trees do I need for two cats?

More than one is ideal. RSPCA NSW says multiple cat trees are essential in multi-cat homes, because they add space and give each cat somewhere to retreat. A tree with several platforms, like the 200cm Corner Castle Cat Tree, also helps. They'll still argue over the top spot.

How does a floor-to-ceiling cat tree work?

It braces between your floor and ceiling, so it stands tall without needing a wide base. The Sky High Floor-to-Ceiling Cat Tree adjusts from 230cm to 290cm, takes up just 43cm x 27cm of floor space and holds up to 20kg. Measure your ceiling height before you order.
