Cat Trees & Scratching Posts
Cat tree and scratching trees: fun and design accessories !
A cat tree encourages activities and reduces obesity risks or related problems. It also gives your pet a place to rest. This is important for cats who spend a lot of time indoors. They need a good play area to stimulate their hunting instincts. Thanks to their integrated scratching posts, our cat trees give your pet the freedom to scratch in peace at any time.
Cat trees are essential accessories for any pet owner. It's a good space to play, scratch and rest. Your animal can observe the environment from the top, climbing it.
Here on zooplus, you can buy a high-quality tree with an affordable price, and also any other important accessories for cats.
Why should you choose a cat tree for your pet?
When you adopt a cat, it will want a place to do its claws. To stop them doing it on your sofa or other furniture, we recommend getting a cat tree.
What are the advantages of having a cat tree or scratching trees?
- Cats can use it to sharpen their claws, protecting your furniture.
- Cats can play on the tree, encouraging their muscles and blood circulation.
- The cat tree will be a place dedicated exclusively to your pet: it can do as it pleases and mark its territory by leaving its pheromones there.
- The design will match your living room style.
- It’s the perfect playground, a beautiful place to rest and contemplate.
- If you have several cats, they can play there in total safety.
How do you find the right scratching post for your pet?
Here on zooplus’ website, we propose a variety of cat tree models, available in different sizes and materials.
To help you find the right tree for your pet, here are important things to consider:
- The ideal cat tree should offer a comfortable place to snooze, a scratching board, various climbing opportunities and a cosy den as a hideaway
- The post of the scratching tree should be made from a robust material, such as sisal
- Kittens should begin with a small scratching tree, so that they can get used to it without risking injury
- A floor-to-ceiling cat tree with extra thick posts and a sturdy base plate should be chosen if you have very heavy cats
On zooplus, we offer a variety of models in different sizes and colours to help you find the perfect cat tree!
Sisal or cardboard: what's the best material for cat trees?
Thick, natural sisal is recommended for scratching posts. If you want a more modern design, we also offer cat trees made from corrugated cardboard. On the other hand, if you're looking for a very stable and natural model, go for solid wood cat trees.
What size of cat tree should you choose?
A cat tree needs to be solid, stable and big enough for your pet to rest on. If you're looking for stability, you can use the larger models.
For a kitten or small cat, there are smaller models, up to 100 cm high. If you have several cats, it may be a good idea to buy several cat trees to avoid fights.

Where's the best place for cat trees?
Cat trees are great for clawing, but they can also be used for playing, napping or climbing to observe the surroundings. If possible, place the tree in a living room and near a window, as cats love to observe everything that's going on outside.
Avoid placing it too close to other furniture, so that your pet doesn't damage it. If you have a balcony, don't forget to put a safety net on it to protect your pet.
What if you don't have enough room for a cat tree?
If you don't have enough room for a large cat tree, you can use scratching posts. They take up very little space and your cat will still be able to scratch without damaging your furniture. On zooplus, we don't just offer XXL cat trees, but also small scratching posts made of cardboard or sisal, a strong and durable material!
How can you teach your cat to play with a scratching tree?
Using a thin string, you can fasten small objects to the top of the cat tree or scratching post, which your cat can then play with or try to reach.
Be sure that the string is fairly short, so that your cat cannot accidentally get tangled up and strangle itself.
You could also rub catnip on the top of a cat post, as the nepetalactone in catnip encourages more than half of cats to sniff, lick and chew.
However, be aware that catnip has the opposite effect on kittens and will repel them.
