Country Living editors select each product featured. If you buy from a link, we may earn a commission. Why Trust Us?

While cats will generally sleep wherever they want, if you give them a dedicated spot they can make their own, there's a chance you might actually have room to sit on your own sofa. A cat tree is a must-have, and there are options you can find with baskets, toys, or even little boxes where they can hide out and take a nap. We found a list of the best ones you can buy right now, according to satisfied reviewers.

While some cat trees are just designed to entertain your pet, most of these have a scratching post of some sort involved. Even better, there are models that have built-in litter box cabinets, which can hide those unsightly boxes and help mask some of the odors, while still providing your favorite feline a place to relax.

Our Top Picks:

Among these top-reviewed models, there are products for larger cats, kittens, and multiple pets, and they are all available on Amazon for easy delivery. While you are at it, you might want to get them a few little gifts as well (because they've just been so good).
