FAQs

Choosing the right product
Which cat tree is best for large cats?
Naturra is our best choice for medium to large cats. It is designed for confident climbers, height lovers, and cats who enjoy a sturdy place to scratch, climb, and rest. Mira and Florra can also suit many cats, depending on their size, personality, and climbing style, but Naturra and Florra are the strongest recommendations for larger cats.
Which cat tree is best for kittens or smaller cats?
Riza is our best choice for smaller cats because it offers a gentler climb and a cozy, easy-to-reach resting spot. For kittens, we recommend choosing a lower and more accessible design while they are still growing and learning to climb. Mira and Florra may also suit smaller cats, especially as they become more confident.
Which cat tree is best for multi-cat homes?
Florra and Mira are our most versatile choices for multi-cat homes because they offer different resting areas and suit cats with different personalities. Florra is especially helpful when cats enjoy multiple levels and shared spaces, while Mira gives cats different ways to relax, hide, and perch. Naturra may also work well for homes with medium or large cats who love height, while Zena can be added as an extra cozy retreat for one small or medium cat.

Product safety and stability
Are Leo & Lexi cat trees stable for climbing and scratching?
Yes. Leo & Lexi cat trees are designed for everyday climbing, scratching, and resting when assembled correctly and used within the recommended weight capacity. For active climbers, larger cats, or homes with children, we strongly recommend securing the cat tree to the wall for extra stability.
Do Leo & Lexi cat trees need to be fixed to the wall?
Most customers do not fix their cat tree to the wall, but we strongly recommend it for added safety — especially if you have active cats, larger cats, or children at home. Wall fixtures are not included because different walls require different types of hardware. Please purchase fixtures that are suitable for your wall type and home setup.
Can children climb or play on the cat trees?
No. Leo & Lexi cat trees are designed for cats only. Children should not climb, sit, pull, or play on the cat tree, as this may affect stability and create a safety risk.

Materials and craftsmanship
Do your cat trees use carpet or faux fur?
Our cat trees use faux fur only. We do not use carpet on our cat trees, helping create a softer, cleaner, and more premium look for your home.

Assembly and setup
Are Leo & Lexi cat trees easy to assemble?
Yes. Leo & Lexi cat trees are designed to be assembled at home with the included instructions. Please follow the assembly guide carefully and make sure all parts are securely tightened before use..
Can one person assemble the cat tree?
Yes, one person can assemble the cat tree. However, we recommend two people where possible, as it makes assembly quicker, safer, and easier — especially when handling larger pieces.
Where should I place my cat tree at home?
Leo & Lexi cat trees are for indoor use only. Place your cat tree on a flat surface, away from rain, moisture, or outdoor exposure. We recommend placing it near a wall or in a corner, and securing it to the wall if you have active cats or children at home.

Cleaning and care
How do I clean a Leo & Lexi cat tree?
For removable cushion covers, unzip and wash them as directed. If the cushion does not have a removable cover, the full cushion can be machine washed. Faux fur areas can be vacuumed regularly. Wipe wood and baskets gently with a damp cloth using plain water, then allow them to dry fully.
Can I use cleaning sprays or chemicals on the cat tree?
We do not recommend using cleaning sprays or harsh chemicals, as they may fade, stain, or discolour the materials. Cats may also dislike strong smells. A soft damp cloth with warm water is usually the best option for everyday cleaning.
Can I replace or refresh the sisal rope myself?
Absolutely. If the sisal rope starts to look worn or you simply want to refresh the look, you can replace it yourself. We don’t currently sell replacement sisal rope, as many customers prefer choosing their own rope texture, colour, or material to better match their home style.

Brand and customer support
What makes Leo & Lexi different from other cat furniture brands?
Leo & Lexi was created by cat parents, so we understand the little things that matter — a cozy place to nap, a sturdy spot to climb, a scratching surface cats actually enjoy, and a design you are happy to keep in your living room.
We use premium materials like natural pear wood, natural cattail baskets, natural sisal, and soft faux rabbit fur to create cat furniture that feels beautiful, comfortable, and made to last. Each product is quality checked before shipping, and we also offer selected replacement parts so your cat tree can be refreshed instead of replaced too soon.
Most importantly, we care about what happens after your order arrives. If you need help choosing a product, assembling it, or finding a replacement part, our customer support team is here to help.
Why is premium cat furniture worth the investment?
As cat owners, we know a cat tree is not just another piece of pet furniture. It quickly becomes your cat’s favourite nap spot, lookout point, scratching place, and quiet little corner of the home.
Premium cat furniture is worth it because it is designed to support your cat’s everyday habits while still looking beautiful in your home. Instead of buying something bulky or disposable that you want to hide away, you are choosing a piece that gives your cat comfort, enrichment, and a sense of belonging — while adding natural texture and warmth to your space.
A well-made cat tree can become part of your cat’s daily routine for years, which makes it a thoughtful investment for both your cat and your home.
How can I contact Leo & Lexi for help?
