Cats like to climb. I think this is because they like looking out and surveying their kingdom. They want to keep their eyes on you. And I’m pretty sure you know just how much cats like having their own dedicated spots to chill out.
All of these are good reasons to look into getting a cat tower.
I’ve been looking into getting one of these things, and I found a LOT of them online. Here are 5 of the best from Amazon.com, based on customer reviews — and the mere fact that they look really awesome:

Reviewers say:
- “My cats love this tower. I have it in front of the balcony window where I have bird feeders for the cats to watch the birds. I actually turned the top seat around so it faced the window instead of the room.”
- “Putting it together was not hard, but the directions are pretty bad.”
5. The Refined Feline

Includes: Very sleek design

Reviewers say:
- “This is the most beautiful cat condo I’ve ever seen.”
- “I can’t bear the thought of having one of those ridiculous carpeted monstrosities in my home…. This one looks great.”
- “Yes, it’s expensive. However, this is the raddest cat house I’ve ever seen. My cat is expected to live for 17-20 years, and I feel so much better have a COOL cat tree instead of one I can only tolerate. This will probably last for more than a decade, making it worth the expense.”
