cat tower

Climbing post structure

A cat tower is a vertical structure designed for indoor cats to climb, scratch, perch, and rest on.

Typically made of carpet-covered platforms, sisal-wrapped posts, and enclosed hideaways at various heights, it satisfies cats' instincts to climb and survey their territory from above.

Also called a cat tree.

The cat claimed the top platform of the tower as her spot.
