More brands are finally designing cat furniture that looks like actual furniture, with clean lines, real wood, neutral tones and materials you’d happily display even if your cat never touched them (though they definitely will). These pieces still give cats what they need — climbing, scratching and places to comfortably lounge — without turning your home into a pet store aisle.
