Your Apartment Has More Cat Space Than You Think
Apartment Cat Guide
Think your apartment is too small for a cat tree?
When floor space is limited, adding a cat tree can feel like one more thing you need to find room for. But your cat’s space does not have to spread across the floor.
A thoughtfully chosen tree can turn a small area into several places to climb, scratch and settle. The key is choosing a footprint that works with your furniture, your walkways and the way your cat likes to spend their day.
Measure the area you can comfortably spare before choosing a tree. Height adds opportunities to explore, but the complete structure still needs to fit your home.
A slim round base
HONEYPOTCAT Sky Pillar Cat Tower
A round base can be a useful starting point when you are working with a small patch of floor. The Sky Pillar’s bottom plate measures approximately 40cm across, making its base the smallest of the three options featured here.
That measurement describes the base, rather than every part of the tree. Allow space for its platforms and for your cat to move around it comfortably.

A compact footprint with a lower height
Cat Tree Condo 99cm
You do not need a ceiling-height tower to give your cat different levels to explore. At 99cm tall, this Condo combines raised resting baskets, scratching posts and a sheltered resting area in a lower design.
Its base measures approximately 60 × 40cm. Try marking that area on your floor to see how it sits beside your existing furniture, then check the space needed for the baskets above it.

A little more room for multiple levels
HONEYPOTCAT Cosy Woven Cat Perch 141.5cm
If you have a little more floor space available, this woven tree brings several activities together in one piece. Its overall footprint is approximately 64 × 54cm, with a height of 141.5cm.
The different levels offer climbing and resting options, while the woven hideaway provides a retreat below. It is worth checking which features your cat is likely to use, rather than choosing on height alone.

Your quick fit check
- Measure the width, depth and available height.
- Check whether the listed dimensions describe the base or the complete tree.
- Allow room for overhanging baskets, platforms and your cat’s access.
- Keep doors, walkways and furniture access clear.
- Choose resting areas and climbing distances that suit your cat’s size and mobility.
Make a favourite spot part of the room
Think about where your cat already spends time. A tree near the living area may be more inviting than one tucked away in an unused corner. Choose a stable position and follow the product’s assembly and securing instructions.
Your apartment may already have the space you need. A small adjustment to the layout could give your cat a whole new place to climb, scratch and call their own.
