Maine coons and cat trees

Hi

Can anybody recommend a cat tree that is stable enough and big enough to cope with 2 adult maine coons?

I have looked at reviews and people seem to get them for kittens - one or two have mentioned that the tree dens/tunnels etc can be too small for maine coons.


Any advice welcome

Re: Maine coons and cat trees

I would be interested to see what others say on this one too - I have one big male neuter coonie and for him, the trees I have bought for the cats (mostly meezers) seem to be too small and sway precariously when he leaps up to the top of them - he can barely fit - no lets be honest he overflows from the platforms, hammocks etc and tends not to stay in them but simply uses them as transition points.

My own humble opinion is that one would have to make a bespoke cat tree for Maine Coons.

One would of course need a large house with large rooms ...

Re: Maine coons and cat trees

Hi

I looked at the Empire Luxor Cat Tree and am seriously considering it. There is also the Cleo Colarado which is similiar and being discounted quite substantially by PetCare ????? and is slightly cheaper and I can get immediately. Will check on name and edit this when I have info.

Both of these cat trees are very wide - 162 cm and 153 cm ish but the Luxor had good reviews.

I would love to be able to afford the cat trees on that German (?) site (see above for link) but with shipping even the smaller ones would cost £200 - 300.

Re: Maine coons and cat trees

Yes the German ones do cost a lot but they do last for years
With a lot of the trees around now , with bigger cats like maine coons , they would be lucky to last a year , So the German ones pay for them selfs in no time
