PawHut Cat Tree Kitten Scratcher with Toy Ball 🐱
Description:
This compact play centre is a small cat tree for kittens that brings several comforts into a limited footprint. It combines a soft, raised perch and a curved scratching board with sisal-wrapped posts so a young cat can rest, scratch and play within a single unit.
Key Points
The design includes a top perch covered in plush fabric that gives a cosy lookout for naps and observation. A hanging toy ball adds a playful element that encourages batting and short bursts of activity, which helps entertain bored kittens. The curved scratch board offers a horizontal surface for stretching and claw maintenance, helping divert scratching away from furniture. Consider that the structure is aimed at lighter felines, and it may not be suitable for larger or very active adult cats.
Technical Specifications
- Name: PawHut Cat Tree
- Dimensions: 46 x 35.5 x 37 cm
- Recommended maximum cat weight: under 4 kg
- Materials: particle board, plush fabric, sisal-wrapped posts, toy ball
- Assembly: requires self-assembly
Benefits
The combination of textures encourages natural behaviours. The rough fibre of the posts and board supports healthy claw wear, while the soft perch provides comfort for short rests. Because the footprint is small, the unit fits well in flats or spare corners where a full-size tower would be impractical. The hanging toy stimulates play and helps kittens develop coordination, which is useful during early growth stages. Also, the lightweight construction makes it easy to move between rooms if you want to change the cat’s activity area.
Usage Recommendations
Place the tree on a flat surface away from edges where it might wobble, and position it near a favourite window if your cat likes to watch outside. For safety, check that all screws are tightened after assembly and periodically re-tighten them as needed. If your cat approaches the 4 kg limit or tends to jump energetically from a high place, consider a larger, more robust tower that offers extra stability and weight capacity. 🐾
Practical Tips
Rotate the hanging toy occasionally to maintain interest, and refresh the scratching surfaces with catnip to encourage use of the posts and board. Clean the plush perch by brushing loose hair and vacuuming; spot clean stains with a damp cloth and mild detergent when necessary. The particle board construction keeps the piece affordable and functional, though it will show wear over time with heavy use, according to the manufacturer. 🧶🐱.
