The best cat condos and trees with a modern design

By

If your cat enjoys hiding, jumping, or scratching, you might consider purchasing a cat condo or tree for them to explore. These structures distract your cat from jumping and scratching on human furniture, and provide a space where your cat feels safe in their personal comfort zone.

Cat condos can make for a nice modern furniture addition to your living room or bedroom. They also let your cat lounge in the same general area as you while simultaneously giving humans and cats their own separate spaces. Keep reading to find out about a few of our favorite cat condos.

I said goodbye to litter scooping, and there’s no way I can go back
What you need to know about the Litter-Robot 4
Litter Robot 4

Cats poop inside your house. No matter how cute and otherwise fastidiously clean they may be, there is no escaping that fundamental truth and all its attendant horrors. The smell. The scooping. The litter tracking.

So when my wife and I adopted our cat Niles six months ago, I knew I needed to enlist a robot for this drudgery.

And back we marched to return it two weeks later.
