CloudFur™
Our signature plush. Cloud-soft to the touch and cat-approved from the first nap. It wraps every perch, bed and hammock, so naps happen wherever they land. And because it's made for real life, it's tough enough to handle every stretch, scratch and zoomie, day after day.
ScratchLock™
Natural sisal rope, glued to every post from top to bottom with a proprietary technique. So it stays locked, no matter how hard your cat goes at it.
Weighted base
A heavily weighted base plate keeps the whole tree planted, even when big cats run, jump and land on it.
Built like Furniture
Over-engineered on purpose. We use M8 to M10 bolts, the kind you’d find in real furniture, so your cat never has to question the tree. Season after season of zoomies.
Cuddle-proof Hammocks
Reinforced to carry up to 44 lbs of cat. Stretch out, squeeze in, take turns. The hammock holds.
Thick as a tree trunk
Scratching poles up to 8" wide, with a tough ABS core supporting high-density cardboard tubes wrapped in 1/4" natural sisal. Wide, stable and built from the inside out, so even the biggest scratch never moves the tree.
Description
The Cat Empire is one of our best-selling and tallest cat trees, designed to fulfill every feline's desires. Your cats will relish the expansive top bed measuring 24 x 17 inches, flanked by two 18-inch hammocks. Additionally, there are four large platforms and a cozy house where your cat can safely hide and relax. All of these elements are thoughtfully connected by sturdy, 6-inch thick sisal posts. It's the ultimate playground for your energetic and larger cats to play and daydream to their heart's content!
About the product
With its 6 inch-thick sisal poles, enormous lounge seat at the top, strong and robust playhouse at the bottom and two deliciously luxurious hammocks, the Cat Empire is suitable for the largest cat breeds such as the Maine Coon, Norwegian Forest Cat and Persian cat. It can easily support up to 6 cats at the same time.
The large lounge seat, measuring 24 x 17 inch with a 6 inch-high border, and the 20 inch-long play rope perfectly complement the design. The large lying areas and hammocks are tested to a weight of 44 lbs.
All platforms of this cat tree are fully upholstered in deliciously thick and soft 21.2 ounces plush, making each platform a wonderful place for your cat to play, relax or sleep. This 72 inch tall cat tree is an amazing place for your cats to survey their domain from on high.
With this cat tree, you can keep your cat fit and healthy! It gives your cat plenty of opportunities to go wild. The 12 ( ! ) sisal poles with a diameter of 6 inch, give your cat myriad opportunities to scratch and sharpen its nails. Some of them are at least 16 inch tall. This allows even the largest cats to stretch themselves to their full length, which offers important ergonomic benefits for your cat's joints.
Despite its size, the Cat Empire can be assembled in mere minutes. It comes complete with an instruction booklet and all the tools you need. All components of this high-quality designer cat tree can be ordered separately.

Engineered for the largest. Loved by all cats.

While I don’t have big cats, mine are still too heavy for the smaller flimsy cat trees others sell. I bought this large one because it won’t tip over. My cats love it. I did worry about how they would access the top platform, but saw another reviewer turned it 90 degrees. It works because my cats go into the hammock then climb up higher very easily. Plus this cat tree looks great in the rumpus room. If I was a cat, I would want one 😻
Very impressed with the high build standard of this product: Quality items used throughout! Extremely sturdy tree. Very well designed.
I've wasted money on clearly inferior Amazon rubbish before this. Don't make the same mistake. Save your money and INVEST in a Tree here - it will generate a much happier future for your loved ones :)
Cats love it. Very heavy, very sturdy. Wish I could attach a picture.
I bought The Tiger and the Cat Empire. These trees are big and sturdy. There is no doubt they can handle 7 cats 5 of which are BIG Maine Coons. After thorough inspection my cats gave these 5 stars. Don't be afraid of putting them together. I'm 64 and my husband is 73, it only takes minutes to put them together. I have plans for getting at least 2 more. Just do it!
I’ve purchased cat trees from other brands and they never last. They wobble and within months posts start breaking off because of poor construction. This thing is a BEAST, weighing in at over 140 lbs. Contrary to the listing this is NOT 172 inches high, it is more like 72 inches high. Also, did I mention that all parts are replaceable? Sisal scratched through? Replace the post, not the entire cat tree!
We love the cat tree that we bought for our kittens. We just got our babies so they are still not completely comfortable with the tree but they are quickly warming up to it. Beautiful sturdy tree and we love that the pieces of the tree are replaceable. Great purchase😻
Absolutely perfect for my 5 big cats. Finally my 2 Maine Coon kittens can play on a tower & it doesn’t shake! Love how massive it is, love the huge baskets and the sturdy poles. So happy, I can’t belive I waited so long to buy one! The cats all love it, photo was completely staged haha but you can see how big it is!
Incredible quality, definitely worth the price. It's exceptionally sturdy and simple to put together. The fine quality is evident in the details. The best part is its versatility, allowing for different variations. Plus, the heavy-duty suspended basket gives me confidence that my 4kg cat is safe. Delivery service is fantastic, comes in very good condition. - Happy Cat Daddy.
Our 5 kitties absolutely love this cat tree which is sturdy, was easy to put together and has so many great resting spots. The two hammocks/bowls are especially popular.
This was one of the best things we ever bought or cats! The quality of the cat tree is amazing... it is so sturdy and plush! It shipped faster than we expected (US). It didn't take my husband long to put together on his own... although he did mix up two posts at first (if in doubt measure the posts!). We don't have large breed cats but one reason we bought this tree because it had the large hammocks. Other cat trees we bought had small hammocks my larger cat didn't fit in (he did try though)... this one has plenty of room for him and it's one of his favorite places to lay! The shelves also have a lot of room for the cats to lay on. I also love that you can get replacement parts from this company - not many offer that. Overall we are extremely pleased with this cat tree and I'd highly recommend this company.
5/5 - Height; Quality; and Build. I currently have 3 standard carpeted cat trees, and all except the shorter height one are wobbly when my 11 lb adult cat climbs on them. This Cat Tree King (CTK) tree does not wobble at all, even though it's taller than all my other cat trees. It is also very heavy (in a good way, unless you had plans to move the cat tree around). Also, the CTK tree carpet is a more plush, velvet-like look material, as opposed to traditional carpet. I think the CTK carpet choice looks much more polished and modern. I also think it will be much easier to clean / remove cat hair from this type of carpet, than my other cat trees which have more coarse carpet with high pile loops.
5/5 - Value. Although I purchased the CTK Cat Empire at full price of US $549 (would have loved for it to be on sale, but I'd been waiting for a re-stock for quite some time) I still think it's a great value. The way the cat tree is configured, it's bigger than two of my regular cat trees put side by side and several inches taller. I find that a 'problem' with traditional cat trees is that they're configured such that my cat has no use for the bottom 2 or 3 rungs, which are often directly below the other rungs. The CTK tree is more of a jungle gym + cat tree, which is significantly better. As I expected, my cat does not care for the bottom or middle platforms of the CTK Empire (other than to climb up and down) but she is loving lounging on the 3 separate top rungs consisting of the 2 hammocks and 1 rectangular bed. I also think it would work wonderfully for 2+ cats. I've fostered two adult cats now and even though all my other cat trees also have multiple rungs, my resident cat would freak out anytime the new cat would try and get on the cat tree she was on, because not only would it wobble but she would have to jump from the 69" rung to avoid the foster cat because the traditional cat trees were not 'wide' enough to allow her to come down while avoiding the foster cat. I don't think that will be a problem at all with the CTK Cat Empire, because of how sturdy it is and all of the offset platforms.
5/5 - Aesthetics. My home is decorated in a modern aesthetic and was sad to learn my cat did not like the more modern non-carpeted cat trees. Wish I had learned about CTK sooner, because I do think it's a great compromise on carpeted comfort for my cat and a more modern aesthetic for me. Regardless of what decor style you prefer, I do think the CTK trees looks higher quality than a standard carpeted cat tree, which makes a big difference in your home looking 'nicer'.
3/5 - Chemical Fumes. I am not someone who is sensitive to scents and have purchased my fair share of new furniture and cat trees; however, I've never purchased something that has had such strong VOCs off-gassing fumes. I received 2 out of 3 of the boxes on Friday afternoon and left the items in my office, with the window open and fan running though Sunday evening and I could still smell the fumes in the hallway (even my husband who rarely notices things, complained). We had to move everything to our tiny sunroom area. Even with a tower fan place in front of the materials and the door to the backyard open and the windows open, the fumes did not go away overnight. What ended up helping was that once the 3rd box arrived, I closed off the small sunroom and ran a space heater on the highest setting all morning and most of the afternoon (unfortunately it wasn't sunny or hot outside), then I held my breath and aired out the space towards the backyard with a tower fan. There is still some off-gassing smell, but it's now very minimal so I brought it back into my office and assembled it. My guess is that because I ordered it as soon as there was a restock that the cat tree was very recently made by the factory and the VOCs fumes had not had a chance to fully off-gas. I still think the CTK cat tree is worth it, but maybe next time I'll try and avoid purchasing immediately when there is a restock. I do want to eventually replace my other cat trees with CTK trees.
Set the jungle gym up last night. Real easy to put together on my own. Both my babes have been sussing it out and now this morning Doby is in one of his new hammocks. Great enrichment for indoor cats! The new arrival sits next to another Cat Tree King purchase. One of my cats has 3 legs and the multiple platforms are easy for him to manoeuvre his way around (with a bit of initial help). Great purchase, as always! ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks Guys x
My Maine Coon leaps from far away and this is the only tree that literally doesn’t move! I also have to have it in my living room (not ideal) but this tree is pretty and doesn’t make me feel like a crazy cat lady! Quality is exceptional, arrived quickly, EASY to put together and customer service is excellent, if needed. Highly highly recommend!
Our cats, Sunny & Marybelle, love the new Cat Empire! As we had a smaller cat tree from Cat Tree King already for many years, we were able to include parts of the old one that were still usable in the build of the new one. Hence, the cat tree is even bigger. They haven't figured out to use the soft beds but all other parts they absolutely love it. No scratching on the fabric armchair any longer! The quality of the cat tree is really good and super easy to assemble and even restructure! We can highly recommend the Cat Tree King products!
