The Best Cat Chair
Cats love comfort. They like to cuddle up on your bed, lounge on a couch, or hang out in a hammock. So, what could be better than a cat chair if you're looking for a new way to spoil your feline friend? It could provide them a cozy place to curl up and relax while adding a little style to your home. And because there are so many options to choose from, there's sure to be one that fits in with your home decor. In fact, we've done some research to help you find it.
What to Look For
While deciding which cat chairs would make our list of top picks, we wanted to pay special attention to the different option’s aesthetics, size, and durability. For example, the sturdy LCRUNONE wooden swing chair has a beautiful design that matches any theme. However, if you don’t have the available floor space for a large piece of pet furniture, you can hang the Wentur cat hammock from any available chair or cat tree instead. If you’d like to see more details, you can take a closer look below.
LCRUNONE Wooden Swing Chair
This stylish wooden swing chair from LCRUNONE looks beautiful in almost any setting. The wooden frame is sturdy and holds up well to multiple cats sleeping and playing, and you can switch it between static and cradle modes depending on your pet’s preferences. Best of all, the breathable linen surface is soft and effortlessly holds up to daily use.
Pros:
- Assembling this chair takes almost no time, and every tool or piece of hardware you’ll need is included.
- There are two sizes, allowing you to accommodate a home full of pets.
Cons:
- The little legs that stop it from rocking don’t always stay in place.
Fukumaru New Moon Cat Chair
Fukumaru’s cat chair allows you to switch between a rocking cradle-style surface or one that stays still by adjusting little supports at the bottom. Meanwhile, the durable wooden frame holds a soft and cozy hammock that you can wash between uses. The generous size and sturdiness also make it ideal for multi-pet homes.
Pros:
- The cute design blends well with most home decor or themes.
- It can hold cats of any weight, so you don’t need to worry about your 20-pound chunker not fitting.
Cons:
- Although assembly is easy overall, the included instructions are unclear.
Wentur Hanging Cat Hammock
Hanging convenience
If you’re short on space and trying to find a way to provide your kitty with a comfortable place to hang out, this hammock from Wentur may be perfect. It features four sturdy metal hooks that allow you to attach it to the bottom of a dining chair, cat tree, or any other furniture with enough space underneath. The fabric is also double-sided, making it easy to find the right amount of coziness for your kitty.
Pros:
- These seats are spacious and effortlessly accommodate two cats at once.
- It’s machine-washable for fast and convenient care. We think that makes it perfect for elderly cats and kittens who tend to have accidents.
Cons:
- The straps would be a little more helpful if they were slightly longer.
PawHut Natural Braided Cat Basket
Cozy comfort
Some cats feel more secure when they can take cover while watching the world around them. That’s where the PawHut natural braided cat basket comes in. The handmade rattan chair design looks great in any room, and the included pillow is machine-washable for easy care. And inside, there’s an iron wire frame within the weaving, ensuring it holds up for years.
Pros:
- A spacious seat helps your cat sleep in almost position. They can roll up or stretch comfortably.
- You can move it around and adjust the angle of the opening based on your cat’s size and preferences.
Cons:
- The cushion is a bit thin. However, you can fill it out more using polyfill or fabric remnants if you’d like.
Etna Folding Pet Chair
Fold and go
Whether hitting the open road in your RV or setting up an outdoor kitty condo, the Etna folding pet chair is a must-have. It’s styled after a Papasan camping seat and offers your cat a safe, comfortable place to rest no matter where you’re heading. The fabric is easy to clean and water-resistant, too. Between uses, you can fold it up and tuck it away for added convenience.
Pros:
- You don’t have to assemble anything. It opens right up and folds back down, allowing you to avoid tools and instructions.
- The soft, padded surface is comfortable, and unlike many competitors, most cats love it right away.
Cons:
- We found this chair to be a bit small for large breeds or overweight cats.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I place my cat’s chair?
Cats often like to stay near their people, even if they don’t enjoy being petted or picked up. For that reason, we recommend keeping your cat’s chairs in areas you tend to hang out in throughout the day. The living room, bedroom, and office are all great choices.
How many cat chairs should I keep in my house?
We recommend keeping at least one cat chair per cat in your home. However, because cats like to stay near you, you may want to consider setting one up in each room they’re allowed to stay in. You can also add cat trees and shelves throughout to free up some floor space.
