This one solves two problems with a single piece of furniture. The pitched roof is wrapped in hard-wearing sisal, giving your cat a proper full-stretch scratching surface at the height they actually want to use, which is usually the arm of your sofa. Underneath, the open A-frame shelters a soft cushioned sleeping area, so the same structure that saves your furniture also gives them somewhere private to retreat when the house gets busy.

The frame is built from solid wood rather than covered chipboard, so it stays steady when a cat launches at the roof and holds its shape over years rather than months. The clean lines and natural finish sit comfortably in a living room, and the compact footprint means it works in a flat or a smaller space where a full cat tree simply will not fit.
