Shop novelty cat trees that look like something else: flower cat trees with removable flower cushions, palm tree and real-tree designs, rocket ship towers, a moon and star tree, a Christmas tree cat tower, a gothic five-level tree, a spider-themed tower and floor-to-ceiling trees. This page narrows our Cat Trees range to fun, statement designs. Below is how to pick one that is as sturdy and useful as it is striking, and which designs suit big cats, kittens and small rooms.

Why choose a novelty cat tree

A cat tree spends years in your living room, so many owners want one that looks like a deliberate choice rather than a carpeted post. Flower trees, palm trees and rocket ships turn the cat furniture into a talking point, and gothic or spooky designs suit owners who like Halloween all year.

The cat does not care about the theme. What it cares about is height, a stable place to jump, somewhere to scratch and a cozy spot to sleep. The best novelty trees deliver all of that behind the fun shape.

Trees that look like trees

Palm tree and leafy tree designs mimic what a cat would climb outdoors, with trunk-style sisal posts and platforms set among leaves or fronds. Flower trees put a cushioned bloom at the top, often removable for washing, which makes a cozy round bed.

Check whether leaves and petals are fabric, felt or plastic. Cats chew and bat at dangling decorations, so look for designs where the leaves are firmly fixed, and trim or remove any loose pieces your cat starts eating.

Rockets, moons and seasonal designs

Rocket towers stack levels inside a tall, rounded shape with portholes, giving cats several enclosed hideouts. Moon and star trees are usually shorter, with curved perches that suit kittens and small cats.

Christmas tree cat towers are a popular holiday swap for a real tree, which cats famously climb and knock over. Cats may also chew real pine needles or tinsel, so a cat tree shaped like a Christmas tree gives the look without those risks.

Check stability and scratching posts

Unusual shapes can hide weak points. Look for a wide, heavy base, a wall anchor for any tree over about four feet, and a weight rating that covers your cat with room to spare. One palm tree design here, for example, lists a capacity of 22 pounds.

The Cornell Feline Health Center advises a sturdy scratching post at least as tall as your cat stretched out. Many novelty trees have short decorative posts, so check the sisal height, and add a tall standalone scratcher if needed.

Matching the tree to your cat and room

Large cats need wide platforms and condo openings. Kittens and seniors need lower steps and ramps between levels. Floor-to-ceiling trees adjust to your ceiling height using a tension pole, which saves floor space and gives climbers the full height of the room.

Place the tree near a window and where the family spends time, so your cat actually uses it. Vacuum fabric surfaces regularly, wash removable cushions, and tighten bolts every few months, since a wobble that starts small makes cats stop trusting the whole tree.

Are novelty cat trees sturdy?

Many are, but check for a wide base, a wall anchor on tall designs and a weight rating that covers your cat. Unusual shapes can hide narrow joints, so test for wobble after assembly.

Is a cat Christmas tree safe for cats?

A cat tree shaped like a Christmas tree avoids the risks of a real tree, such as tipping, chewed needles and tinsel. Keep added decorations off it, since cats may chew them.

Do flower cat trees have washable cushions?

Many flower designs have a removable cushion at the top that you can wash. Check each listing and wash on a gentle cycle, drying fully before putting it back.

What novelty cat tree suits a large cat?

Choose one with wide platforms, large condo openings, a heavy base and a high weight rating. Floor-to-ceiling trees anchored by a tension pole are usually stable enough for big cats.

Do novelty cat trees have scratching posts?

Most include sisal posts, though some are short or decorative. Check the post height and add a tall separate scratcher if your cat cannot stretch fully on the tree.
