Unfortunately, most cat trees don't scream chic — they scream eyesore in the middle of your nicely curated living room. Any cat owner can tell you, though, that a cat tree is almost a necessity, perfect for keeping your favorite feline occupied and preventing them from leaving claw marks all over your furniture. Lucky for both you and your furniture, there are some cat condos out there that you won't actually mind having in your home.
While these beautiful pieces of cat-chitecture (we couldn't help ourselves) will cost you more than a regular ol' cat tree, they are modern and fashionable and a far cry from the fur-and-carpet-covered monstrosities you probably picture when you hear "cat tree." You and your kitty can thank us later.
