Hearth Cat Tree and Feeding Station

Where they eat and where they hide stop being two pieces of furniture. Hearth folds a bowl, a scratching post and a closed sleeping room into one small tower that fits beside a sofa.

The bowl is stainless steel and lifts out, so it goes in the sink and comes back without a smell. A closed condo sits at the base with a door that opens fully for cleaning and air holes cut into the back. Scratching posts run the height of the frame, which is usually enough to move a cat off your rug. The top shelf carries a guard rail, so what you set down stays there.

Twenty inches wide and thirty-three tall: it holds a corner rather than claiming a room. P2-grade engineered wood panel over a thickened metal frame, and the metal is what keeps a tower this narrow from swaying when a cat lands.
