The best cat condos and trees with a modern design

If your cat enjoys hiding, jumping, or scratching, you might consider purchasing a cat condo or tree for them to explore. These structures distract your cat from jumping and scratching on human furniture, and provide a space where your cat feels safe in their personal comfort zone.

Cat condos can make for a nice modern furniture addition to your living room or bedroom. They also let your cat lounge in the same general area as you while simultaneously giving humans and cats their own separate spaces. Keep reading to find out about a few of our favorite cat condos.
