A holiday-themed cat tower that doubles as climbing gym, scratching post, and festive decor
The COSTWAY 179cm Christmas Tree Shape Cat Tree is one of those rare pet products that is genuinely functional first, but also visually playful enough to become part of your seasonal decor. Instead of giving your cat a standard beige carpeted tower that clashes with the room, this design turns a multi-level cat tree into a soft green Christmas tree silhouette, complete with ring platforms, dangling ornament-style toys, a star topper, and a top hideaway condo.
The Standout Appeal & Why It Caught Our Attention
Most themed pet furniture leans novelty-heavy and utility-light. This one stands out because the Christmas tree shape is not just cosmetic; it naturally creates a vertical, tiered climbing layout that cats already enjoy. The circular platforms work like staggered perches around a trunk, encouraging hopping, lounging, peeking, and batting at the hanging toys from different heights.
It also solves a very real holiday problem for cat owners: during the festive season, many cats become obsessed with the actual tree. This tower gives them a cat-safe alternative focal point with their own elevated lookout spots, scratching surfaces, and dangling “ornaments” to attack.
- Decor-friendly silhouette: far more visually intentional than a standard cat condo in a living room.
- Vertical enrichment: uses height well without needing a huge footprint.
- Seasonal interaction: the ornament-like toys invite play in a way ordinary flat platforms do not.
Key Features & How It Works
This model is widely sold under COSTWAY, PETSITE, and GYMAX listings, but the structure is consistent: a 70 x 70 x 179 cm floor-standing cat tree built around a thick central trunk and broad stabilized base.
- 4-tier overall structure: three open ring-shaped plush platforms plus a top cone-shaped condo perch that mimics the tip of a Christmas tree.
- Top hideaway condo: gives shy or sleepy cats a more enclosed nest compared with the open lower levels.
- Raised ring edges: each platform has soft, cushioned borders that help cats feel contained while lounging and also visually create the “tree branch” effect.
- Trunk-style scratching posts: the central columns are wrapped in natural paper string/sisal-style material, giving cats a dedicated surface for clawing and stretching.
- Engineered wood support: the internal boards and base add the stiffness needed for a 70.5-inch tall tower.
- Ultra-soft plush exterior: green plush fabric with white trim and sponge padding makes the surfaces look cozy rather than harsh or utilitarian.
- Interactive hanging toys: red ball and yellow star plush toys dangle like ornaments, encouraging swatting and solo play.
- Wide floor base: the oversized round base is there for stability, which matters on a tall cat tree where cats may jump between levels at speed.
The design works by combining three feline instincts into one footprint: climb upward, scratch vertically, and perch above ground level. That combination is what makes cat trees more useful than standalone beds or scratchers.
Practical Everyday Uses
Beyond the holiday aesthetic, this is still a serious enrichment piece for indoor cats.
- For cats that love height: apartment cats or indoor-only cats get multiple lookout levels without needing wall shelves or window perches.
- For furniture-saving scratch behavior: the thick wrapped trunk gives cats a more appealing vertical scratching target than sofa corners or rugs.
- For multi-cat households: the separate levels let one cat hide in the top condo while another lounges lower down, reducing competition for a single perch.
It is especially useful in living rooms during the festive season, where it can act as a distraction zone away from your actual decorated tree while still giving your pet a central place to play and observe.
Things To Consider Before Buying
This is a tall cat tree, so buyers should think about fit and cat habits before ordering.
- Measure ceiling-adjacent space carefully: at 179 cm tall, it needs vertical clearance and enough surrounding room for cats to jump on and off comfortably.
- Check your cat’s size: the whimsical shape is excellent for average cats and agile jumpers, but very large breeds may fit more comfortably on lower platforms than in the top condo.
- Seasonal styling is strong: it works year-round as pet furniture, but visually it is unmistakably Christmas-themed.
- Assembly is required: like most flat-packed cat trees, expect a build process involving stacked posts, platforms, and the top condo.
- Best on level flooring: the wide base helps, but any tall tower performs better on a flat, stable surface rather than thick uneven rugs.
If you want a cat tree that actually gives your pet meaningful climbing and scratching value while also looking like part of your holiday setup, this is a far smarter concept than a novelty costume-style pet accessory. It is festive, but still built around what cats actually do all day.
