LIKISAK Cat Tree 173cm Large Indoor Cat Tower (PMT02DG)
Product description
What it is and what it solves
The LIKISAK Cat Tree is a tall, multi-level indoor cat tower designed to give larger or multiple cats their own vertical territory. With two cosy condos, a top and middle platform, a hanging basket, a hammock, a wide scratching board and sisal scratching posts, it creates a dedicated space for climbing, resting, scratching and observing. On the face of it, it looks like a furniture piece, but its purpose is to keep cats entertained and to deter them from targeting delicate furniture.
How it’s built and how it stands up to daily use
This 173 cm tall structure uses FSC-certified wooden boards for the shelves and a sturdy frame. The inclusion of two condos and multiple levels encourages different resting spots and routes for movement, which can help reduce boredom and potential conflicts in multi-cat households. The anti-tilt design and robust materials aim to deliver safety for up to six cats, each up to 6.8 kg
What stands out in use
The natural sisal posts are specifically chosen for claw maintenance, offering a dedicated outlet for scratching rather than household surfaces. A hanging basket and a metal hammock add variety and can be appealing for cats who like to observe from a shy vantage point or curl up away from foot traffic. The top and middle panels being FSC-certified adds a sustainability angle that some buyers appreciate.
Pros and thoughtful limitations
Pros: substantial height with ample vertical space, multiple rest areas, and dedicated scratching surfaces. It’s designed with stability in mind and includes clear assembly guidance. The material choice emphasises durability and ease of cleaning. Cons: the footprint is sizeable, so it requires a reasonable amount of space, while sturdy, moving it could be a two-person job, and the look may not suit every room decor.
Who it’s for
This cat tree is aimed at households with bigger cats or several felines that need independent zones for scratching, hiding, and observing. It suits homes where you want to redirect scratching away from furniture and where cats benefit from a vertical ‘playground’ rather than a plain scratching post. If you have minimalist space or prefer compact furniture, this tall tower may feel overwhelming.
When it makes sense to buy
If you value durability, multiple rest areas and a plan to keep claws active, and you have a room with adequate space, this model offers a practical solution. It’s particularly useful for households with up to six cats who enjoy switching between elevated spots and cosy hideouts.
When you might want to skip it
If space is limited or you don’t have room for a 173 cm unit, or if you only need a single, small scratched post, there are cheaper or more compact alternatives. Also, if you prefer lightweight furniture that’s easy to move regularly, this structure is heavier.
What to check before buying
- Confirm your room has enough floor space to accommodate a tall unit with multiple levels.
- Consider where you’ll place it to avoid direct sunlight or high-traffic doorways that could destabilise it.
- If you have cats that are skittish, think about how you’ll introduce them to the new climbing area gradually.
- Check assembly has all the steps and tools, and that you’re comfortable with placing the unit on a flat surface to maximise stability.
How it compares to broader options
Compared with smaller single-post scratchers, this unit provides a full vertical habitat with rooms to hide, rest, and observe. For buyers prioritising durability and space for several cats, it’s a sensible upgrade from basic posts. If you only need a simple scratch post or a lightweight play structure, a more compact option would likely suit better.
What to expect in day-to-day use (example)
A cat may scamper up to the top platform to survey the living room, then retreat to one of the condos for a nap, before stretching on the wide platform and giving the sisal posts a thorough clawing session. The hanging basket can function as a cosy lookout or a quiet retreat when screens or other family activities are happening nearby.
Final decision
Is it worth it? If you prioritise a tall, multi-level cat habitat designed for several cats, with sturdy materials and a purposeful scratching surface, this LIKISAK model is worth considering. It may not be the cheapest option, but its size, features and FSC-certified components place it as a pragmatic choice for larger households or cats that value height and variety in their environment. You’ll want to balance space and budget against the number of cats and their activity level.
FAQ
- Do all parts come with clear assembly instructions? Yes, the unit ships with a step-by-step manual and tools to help with setup.
- How many cats can use it at once? The design supports up to six cats, each up to 6.8 kg, though actual use depends on your cats’ personalities and space available.
- Is the material easy to clean? The climbing surfaces use wood-based boards and sisal posts, which are straightforward to wipe down, but the fabric components like the basket and hammock may need gentle cleaning if soiled.
