While there are many beautiful cat trees on the market, from those with clean, aesthetic lines to more whimsical pieces that bring out our childlike side, there aren’t always many cat trees available for the larger felines in our lives. And as we all know, big cats deserve to have a fun place to play too.
But that’s often easier said than done for larger cats like Maine coons and Norwegian Forest cats, who are typically the size of small dogs, so they don’t fall under the normal helm of cat life. But don’t worry, Wayfair has your back with a beautifully plush and aesthetically pleasing cat tree fit for the queens and kings in your life.

For far too long, big cats have been relegated to things like beds, single perches and smaller cat houses. Often, big cat owners are disappointed with the selection of cat trees, since most are aimed at the lithe feline crowd that weighs under 14 pounds.
Thankfully, Wayfair knows that big cats need some love too and has launched a collection of unique trees (because no one wants an ugly monstrosity sitting in the corner of their living room). Wayfair’s big cat tree is a beautiful, multi-level cat perch made from solid wood in a dark mahogany-cherry color with lush, dark gray fabric covering each perch and the base.
The 4-tiered cat tree stands 44 inches tall with a sturdy base that can withstand any amount of bouncing and swaying your cat or cats put it through. The 24-inch XXL bed gives your cat space to stretch out and take a catnap or snuggle with one of their housemates. The 19-inch top tier lets your cat stretch and take in the views of the room, while their sibling or kittens frolic on the sling below.

The lower branches of the cat tree are woven with a gray sisal rope, promoting stretching and providing the perfect spot for your cat to scratch that isn’t the back of your sofa. The dangling ball is pure entertainment for both you and your cat. They can lean over and bat at it from the perch above or give it a playful smack from the ground.
Altogether, the perch weighs about 45 pounds, which means once it is set up, it’s not moving anywhere. It can withstand up to 33 pounds, which, depending on the felines in your life, can range from one to three cats. Though if you have a handful of kittens, they would have a field day piling onto the tree.
One fan wrote in a review, “Simple to put together…took 10-15 min alone. It IS heavy duty…my big boy 20lbs got up with no issue. Fifi in the photo also approves! It is heavy! It was pricey…but the cats immediately took to it and it’s very nice quality!”
If you have a larger breed cat, this cat tree could be their new favorite hangout, thanks to features that are actually geared toward them to maximize their fun and comfort.
