Overview

['At 42 inches, this is the shortest of the Yaheetech cactus cat trees, but it keeps 4 levels packed into a smaller 17 by 17 inch footprint, making it a fit for apartments or rooms with less floor space. It includes a plush perch, a platform, a basket and a hanging ball alongside the cactus-shaped scratching posts.', 'Materials match the rest of the cactus line, using particleboard, moppy fabric, plush and sisal, with the tree weighing 19.18 pounds, lighter than its taller siblings. Yaheetech includes the same 3 year manufacturer warranty found across this product family.', 'Priced at $59.99, it costs less than the 54 and 62 inch versions while keeping most of the same design elements. A 4.5 star rating from 705 reviews shows buyers are satisfied with the smaller size for the price, though care requires spot cleaning only rather than hand washing.']

Pros

  • Compact 42 inch height with a small 17 by 17 inch footprint suits tighter spaces

Frequently asked questions

How much floor space does this cat tree need?

It has a 17 by 17 inch footprint and stands 42 inches tall, making it one of the more compact trees for smaller rooms or apartments.

How do I clean this cat tree?

The listing specifies spot clean only for the fabric parts, rather than hand washing recommended on some of the taller cactus models.

Is this suitable for a large cat?

It is the shortest tree in the Yaheetech cactus lineup, so larger or more active cats may be better matched with the 54 or 62 inch versions.
