For my multi-cat household, the corner cat trees are perfect for protecting my furniture. A few of my cats love to show how happy they are by giving the corners of my couch and chair a vigorous scratching. With the cat trees positioned at each front corner, my furniture is protected. The cats immediately fell in love with them and are giving them lots of attention. With the strong wood construction, they are sturdy and they stay in place, even when they climb up and sit on the top perch, and the scratching surface (a sisal weave) will hold up well. The beige colour melds in with my living room furniture. Perfect cat tree for anyone dealing with damage to furniture - but can also be positioned on the corner of a wall to take up less room, and can be screwed in place if you so choose.
