Below you will find the 15 best kitty pleasers we have found. We bet you will find a meow that suits your cat. As always, the listed prices may fluctuate over time.

There are many scratching posts with perches, but they look uncomfortable for kittens. Now, your kitten can sharpen its nails and then roam in a stylish and comfortable way on the neutral-colored Frisco 20-inch cat tree. Watch your furry friend climb into the hanging hammock, watch the people coming and going around it, or just nap. This tree has two pillars wrapped with natural sisal rope, which are ideal for scratching pillars. When it's game time, swipe these pompom toys. This tree measures 22 inches x 22 inches x 20 inches and weighs 9.1 pounds, so it is also very strong.
