Design
This cat tree consists of a few resting spots, scratching posts, toys, and stairs. Perfect for the larger, active cat, the tree encourages your cat to be more active, while still providing a few comfortable spots for your cat to snooze. Additionally, if you have children or dogs, the ability to place the cat tree up high on the wall will give you a little peace of mind knowing your cats can rest undisturbed and safely away from the overenthusiastic family dog.
Covered Sleeping Spaces
The one major drawback for some cat owners is the lack of a covered sleeping space. Cats of any age, especially those new to the home, seek out spaces that are dark and confined because it gives them a sense of security, while also providing the perfect environment for sleep. Unfortunately, this cat tree’s design leaves the cats out in the open, which may cause some cats to avoid using it during the day.
If you’re looking for a traditional style cat tree, or simply a model that comes equipped with a cubby hole or U shaped beds, we recommend the Molly and Friends “Fluffy’s Favorite Premium Handmade 4-Tier Cat Tree. This tree is a four-level model, however, the Cat Mod Climb Track is a better choice if you need a cat tree that won’t take up precious floor space.

Assembly
You can expect to spend two to three hours assembling this tree. Make sure you use a stud locator when installing. If you fail to anchor the cat tree to the appropriate studs, it can easily get ripped out of the wall when your felines are roughhousing.
The included directions are well-detailed, but if you don’t have the right studs in the perfect spots you may need to tweak the design a little, spacing the stairs differently or you may even need to leave a piece or two off. Most cat owners who ran into this issue claimed that the tree is so versatile, making a few design changes didn’t negatively impact the integrity of the tree.
Performance
The Cat Mod Climb’s design fulfills the cat’s natural instinct to scratch and climb. It gives cats the perfect space to run, climb, and file down their nails.
Additionally, the design also helps to prevent any territorial or behavior issues in multi-cat homes by providing cats with the vertical space they need. This type of space allows cats to essentially establish a pecking order. Cats that are considered the more dominant members of the pack will claim the higher perches, while younger, more passive cats will stick to the lower resting spaces.
If you’re having issues in the home when feeding your cats, such as fights amongst the felines, or the family dog is eating the cat food before they’re able to get to it, this cat tree also eliminates that problem. Fortunately, CatatrophiCreations also sells patented elevated feeders, which will keep the cat food safely out of the hands of the family dog or smaller children.

Mod Bracket Design
To give the cat tree a cleaner look, the manufacturer has included their Mod brackets. These brackets, when mounted correctly, will make the cat tree look as though it’s floating since the brackets themselves are designed to remain hidden.
Customizable Setup
As we mentioned earlier, if you don’t have the right studs in the right place, don’t worry. The cat tree is very versatile. You can choose to follow the included manufacturer’s design or make some changes of your own. The included fabric is equipped with grommets that are spaced every eight inches. This design works to accommodate stud distances.
