About Us
Who We Are
CattreeHQ is an independent guide to cat trees and cat furniture for people who share their homes with climbing, scratching and napping cats. Our content is shaped by Diane Mulvaney, a cat furniture product tester with thirteen years of hands-on experience setting up towers, condos, wall shelves, scratchers and litter box cabinets in real apartments and houses. We write for first-time owners choosing a first tower, multi-cat households that have outgrown a single perch, renters who need furniture that will not damage walls, and owners of large breeds who are tired of wobbly bases. Our approach is technical and practical: we look at how furniture is built, how it behaves under load and how it holds up after months of use.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help cat owners choose furniture that is stable, safe and actually liked by the cat. The market is crowded with products that look impressive in photos but tip easily, shed stuffing or wear out within a season. We want to give you plain measurements, clear explanations and honest notes about strengths and weaknesses, so you can compare options with confidence and avoid paying twice for the same product. We explain technical points such as base footprint, post thickness, platform width and fastener quality in simple language that any owner can use.
Our Vision
We want CattreeHQ to be the first place cat owners look when they need to decide what to buy for their cat, or how to keep what they already own in good shape. We imagine a future where every cat has a safe place to climb, scratch, hide and rest, and every owner knows how to check furniture for wear before a problem appears. We keep improving our guides as products change, new designs arrive and readers share what worked in their homes.

Our Content Standards
We aim to keep every article accurate, useful and easy to read. We explain how we evaluate each type of product, we state limits where we are unsure, and we avoid exaggerated claims. We do not promise that any product will suit every cat, because cats differ in size, age and habits. Safety notes are included wherever they matter, and we recommend checking your own cat furniture regularly. If a product wears badly or a better option appears, we update our recommendations. Some links on the site are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you, and this never changes our honest assessment of a product.
Cats vote with their paws, so the best furniture is the piece they use every single day.
