There are many benefits to providing a cat with their own space, and a luxury cat condo is a great way to combine a range of activities in one location. Since cats love to climb and be up high, we’ve designed most of our unique cat trees to be installed on the wall to create a cat wall tree. Working with behavioral experts, we’ve keyed into the most important aspects to include and received input on what to change within the wall-mounted cat trees. Without feline enrichment, cats can develop behavioral problems and health issues like obesity due to inactivity.
We work with numerous behavior experts who help us understand what to build and how certain aspects affect the cat using the cat condos. Providing your cat with their own unique space on the wall helps promote exercise and allows them to have a space that’s all theirs, out of reach from perceived dangers. It creates a relaxing place for your cat to eat, scratch, lounge, and play. To learn more about the importance of feline enrichment, please check out our blog to learn more.
We design these cat wall playgrounds by mounting different combinations of cat furniture and seeing how our cats like them. We only move forward with the layouts they like. Early on, we figured out that our cats typically take the most convenient path up to the top of the cat furniture. In order to promote feline exercise, we keep this in mind by creating more complex routes up and down our cool cat trees. To learn more about cat wall furniture and some of the benefits, please check out our “Why Cat Walls?” blog.
When choosing the best cat tree, its always a good idea to first find out what type of wall you have. In the US, most walls are made with drywall attached to wooden framing called wall studs. But other walls are also made of concrete, brick, and cement.
If you have drywall, then it’s important to find out your wall stud spacing. Most common in the US is 16” on center, the next most common is 24”, and we have options for both. But you need to know this prior to ordering because not all of the condos work for both spacing.

Our modern cat trees are modular and made from sustainable bamboo, which is very strong and resistant to damage.
Parts that are designed to be destroyed like Scratching Poles, are made into sections, so that if a portion of the pole gets worn out, it can easily be switched out once they wear out. Our scratching poles have the sisal rope adhered to the pole, which extends the life of the pole by helping to prevent the rope from slipping down over time.
Some helpful things to consider:
The wall-mounted cat trees come with paper instructions that walk you though the process step by step. Although we don’t yet have video instructions for mounting the wall cat trees, we do have them for the individual pieces that are combined to make them.
We’ve compiled a huge amount of resources to help make installing your cat climbing wall a breeze. Let us walk you through the entire process with our Installation Guide. Or learn useful tips to allow you to build a custom cat condo of your own with our blog on design tips.
A cat condo is a structure made for cats to do the things they’re naturally inclined to do in the wild, like scratch, climb, play, and nap. A downside to many cat trees is that they can often take up floor space and are typically made without your home’s decor in mind.
We were focused on this issue when coming up with a line of unique cat trees that are fastened on the wall to create wall cat trees. Cats love to be up high; it increases their space in the apartment or house and helps keep them active.
There really isn’t a difference between the two words, at least that we have found. We use both terms in our listings so that our furniture options will come up for pet parents searching for either term.
Our cat playgrounds are designed to accommodate cats of all sizes. We keep both space and functionality in mind when we’re designing cat trees. Some of the options work better than others, and these are our suggestions for the best cat condos for those large tabbys:
It’s always possible that your cat could fall from any cat wall furniture. Luckily, cats are incredibly resilient to falling and over the last ten years we haven’t heard of a case where a cat fell and was seriously injured. In the wild, cats have a wide variety of enrichment options, like climbing trees or hunting, that they don’t typically have indoors. Climbing and scratching are important and natural behaviors for cats and providing your cat with an indoor cat playground is an excellent outlet for them to replicate those activities.
Please keep in mind that you know your cat best and it’s important to keep that in mind when deciding how high to mount the cat wall playgound. If your cat is elderly or has health issues that limit their movements or balance, then we highly suggest installing furniture only high enough to where you’re comfortable with them jumping down from.
Not at all! Clean any of the bamboo parts without removing them from the wall by wiping with a damp cloth with a slightly diluted soap/water mixture. The Cat Hammocks can be easily removed and washed by hand or on a gentle cycle with cold water. To dry and remove wrinkles, we’ve found that reattaching the fabric to the cat tree and letting it dry stretched out works best. Please do not put the canvas sections in the dryer; they have a tendency to shrink.

If you notice that any portion of your cat playground is wobbly, 90% of the time it’s due to a mounting plank not being installed into a wall stud. This is very important for all the furniture other than our cat shelves, which function fine as long as one side is in a stud and the other utilizes drywall anchors. Please note that we include these drywall anchors for our shelves, but typically do not with the cat condos, because those are designed to fit either a 16” stud spacing or 24” stud spacing, depending on which is selected.
If you a mounting plank is “bouncy,” as in the front end moves up and down, this is typically caused by the bottom screw not being installed with the plank flush to the wall. Simply remove the bottom screw, pull the plank downward to make it flush to the wall, and then re-install the screw with the plank held into place.
If you have any other issues or concerns, we’re eager to help solve those, so please don’t hesitate to chat us on the site and contact us explaining the issue. Pictures always help us! So please include those in your message. Thanks!
It’s always best to give your cat time to acclimate to their cat tree wall. We don’t recommend forcing your cat onto anything. It’s best to persuade them with positive reinforcements like treats, catnip, and petting them once they’re up. If they have a negative experience on the furniture, there’s a better chance of them associating that location with the experience and they’ll be more likely to avoid the spot in the future.
Not sure where to start? Two great resources for this is our Installation page and or if you’re building custom, our design tips. Here’s some inspiration of what can be done by connecting the parts together to build a completely custom cat wall to specifically fit your space.
Staying active is an important part of your cat’s physical and mental health. Oftentimes indoor cats live lives that are understimulated with days full of sleeping and lounging around the house. Read More…
Keeping your cat at a healthy weight is really important, not only for their health, but also their quality of life. Obesity comes with a lot of limitations, like making it difficult to play, climb, and jump, which leads to inactivity and under-stimulated minds. Read More…
