- Mau - Modern Cat Tree Tower, Real Branch Wood Condo for Large Cats

A bit on the pricey side, but it's beautiful, sturdy, and the cats really enjoy it (tip: I saved our Amazon points so I ended up paying $2 and change)! We have so many cat trees and this one is the best because it's not an eyesore and actually fits with our decor better. I love that both baskets are strong and do not wobble so that means the cats will actually use them. The pads are super nice and plush and the legit branches are unique, fun, and beautiful to look at. The company knows that the best way to get cats to use the tree right away is to sprinkle it with catnip so a small packet of catnip was included and I love that detail. It was packaged well, super easy to assemble by myself; top to bottom, this is the best cat tree we've ever bought --hopefully it will last for a long time. The only slight ding is that the baskets are a little too close together so the lower basket is partially under the higher basket --I also couldn't get the dangle toys to be in the front. Despite rotating the two branches that the baskets sit atop, the lower basket is always a little under the taller basket. Not the end of the world, but something I wish were adjustable (same for the dangle toys, they're in the back and not able to adjust or change locations so they likely won't get much use). Would be nice if there were multiple rings under the basket and the toys were attached by rings that could detach so you could move them to better locations after assembly.

This is absolutely the best cat treehouse I have purchased. It is so classy looking. They even put their label. That’s engraved on gold at the bottom. My cat loves it. It’s the perfect height not too big not too small. Most importantly its base is very sturdy heavy so when the cat jumps from one basket to another, it doesn’t move or wobble I love the fact that it’s MODERN very elegant looking.

I had to get a new cat tree due to adopting a 2 month old kitten and my old cat tree had 1 small bed that my older cat just grew out of. They both need to be able to have their own beds. This new one seems stable enough and durable the fur babies use the scratching posts daily. My kitten sleeps in the baskets all the time and my one year-old prefers to stay in the cat cave all the time. They both love it so it’s a win-win. I’m getting another one from this brand for my bedroom maybe a different style, but it’ll definitely be this brand it goes best with modern decor.

My cat is obsessed! I was worried my cat wouldn't use this, but they climbed on it as soon as I finished building it. Assembly was straightforward and took about 20 minutes. It feels sturdy even when my cat jumps to the top perch. The scratching posts are a huge bonus and have saved my furniture. Great buy!

My kit-cat seems to like it well enough. So much so, she has been chewing on the basket and I imagine it will need to be replaced down the road. I was glad to see you can buy replacement baskets from this company. She has not ventured to the top basket yet. We made sure it was nice and tight so it wouldn’t wobble. Hopefully she will try it out one day. The price is a bit high, but esthetically it looks nice with our decor, unlike a lot of other cat trees. We have another cat as well and she has not paid any attention to it, but then, her sister rules the house, so she’s probably waiting for permission. I’d say this cat tree should be half the price, but like many other pet parents, I go overboard on occasion. Ours didn’t come with instructions, but it’s easy to figure out. Make sure you use the long screw for the taller branch. We made the mistake of using it for the base and ended up with a long screw sticking up in the cubby hole. We had to re-do it. Overall…if you want a nice looking tree…and you can splurge, this might be for you and your purrr-baby or babies.

Its pretty when put together. I had hoped both cats would use but the top tier is essentially ignored. I think it needs a latter or something to make the cats feel safe getting up there.

Having furniture for your cat is important, but I was sick of the usual look of cat trees. I moved into a new home and wanted something that actually complements the room. Decided to shell out more money than I'm usually comfortable with, and WOW I'm glad I did. Picture is of the Mau tree on our living room next to the kitchen. I love love love the look of it and I can't imagine the room without it. I did make a slight alterations to the cave opening, using an extra cushion I ordered from Mau, because my cat likes to hide when guests come over. It took about a month for my cat to get used to it, but now she scritchy-scratches it all the time and plops into one of the baskets whenever I cook in the kitchen. It is heavy, but I personally have no problem carrying it around. I had to take it upstairs at one point and it was no big deal. The weight makes it more stable. If you need to move it, the trick is to get a good grip on the lower branch with one hand, and grip onto under the base with your other hand. The assembly did make me scratch my head a bit. Placing the three supports in the cave straight without it appearing a bit "twisted" was a challenge. Make sure you are only loosely setting the screws at first, then when they're all in, gradually tighten each one a bit of a time in a circle until all sufficiently tightened.

My void kitties love their new tree. It’s a little pricey but the quality reflects this.
