What is a Cat Ladder?
A Cat Ladder is a vertical climbing structure designed specifically for cats. Unlike bulky cat trees, these ladders are sleek, wall-mounted units that provide cats with the vertical space they crave without taking up valuable floor space. They serve as an excellent alternative for cat owners who want to offer their pets climbing opportunities but prefer a more minimalist or customizable aesthetic. Whether you need to help your cat reach a high shelf, window perch, or simply want to provide an enriching climbing experience, the Cat Ladder is a versatile solution.

Key Features of the Cat Ladder
Cat Ladders come in a range of sizes to perfectly suit your cat’s needs and your home’s dimensions. They are available in six different heights, starting from a 3-step ladder at 30 inches tall, all the way up to an 8-step model reaching nearly 9 feet – ideal for accessing the top of standard doors or high shelves. You can also choose between two step widths: the standard 9″ x 9″ step or a wider 11″ x 11″ option, giving your cat more room to comfortably perch and relax on each level.

One of the standout features is the customizable and practical carpeted steps. Each step is wrapped with a removable and replaceable carpet piece that securely attaches with Velcro. This ingenious design makes cleaning a breeze – simply remove the carpet for washing or replace individual wraps as they wear. Cat Ladder now offers four carpet colors, allowing you to further personalize your cat ladder to complement your existing interior design.

Why We Love the Cat Ladder
Our experience with Cat Ladder stretches back years, and it remains a top pick in our cat furniture favorites. Its durability and cat-friendly design have truly stood the test of time. While recommended for indoor use, our Cat Ladder thrives on our protected catio, proving its resilience even in semi-outdoor environments. Our cats use it daily, racing up and down to reach their favorite high shelf. The carpeted steps provide excellent grip, ensuring they can climb and play with confidence without slipping.
