Natural wood cat tree: what you should know
What is a natural wood cat tree?
With a natural wood cat tree, the trunk is a real, peeled tree trunk – not a covered tube. The trees here are built by hand by the manufacturer mau in Lower Austria: The trunk supports the platforms, Sisal rope is wrapped around parts of the trunk, and everything rests on a solid base plate at the bottom.
What wood is used?
- Trunk: Hardwood trees from the surrounding area felled due to storm damage or thinning – according to mau, mainly beech and ash, depending on availability.
- Processing: Peeled by hand, dried slowly (to keep cracks small), finely sanded, and treated with natural oil.
- Platforms and base plate: Solid beech; the base plate measures 83 × 62 cm, on the Highland 125 × 62 cm.
- Scratching and lounging surfaces: 10 mm sisal rope and faux fur in grey or white, additionally in light brown/beige for Coon MAX and Highland.

Why a heavy wooden cat tree for large cats?
A Maine Coon jumping off from the top pulls the tree sideways. What keeps it on the ground is primarily its product weight and a wide base plate. The four models here weigh 45–80 kg and are freestanding, without a ceiling tensioner. According to our tip-over calculation, even with a powerful jump, the base plate lifts off at most noticeably up to 10 kg of cat weight (Highland: up to 12 kg) – a model calculation, not an experiment.
