With it being Caturday we wanted to give you something sweet to calm down with. And we could not think of anything better than a collection of cute cats chilling in their trees.

So we went out and brought together some of sweetest, calmest, and funniest felines living their very best lives atop their fancy feline trees. We know that Caturday can come with challenges. After all, it is the one day a week where our cat children get our full attention and get to go absolutely bonkers without us losing our minds and yelling at them. Which leaves many of us cat pawrents wondering what the heck we were doing when we decided to bring our tiny lions home.

But the truth is that no matter how clawminal our cat children get, we will always love them and care for them. It is just that sometimes we need reminding of how sweet and wonderful they can be when they want to, and that is where this list comes into play. So strap in for a calm ride, much like Disney's 'It's a small world', full of cute and calm cattos hanging out in their favorite cat trees.

Not all cat trees are made equal but that does not mean that the cat who owns the tree is any less able to chill on it. Sure, a poorer cat child might not feel comfortable chilling on their tree for as long as those cats with luxury trees full of platforms, hammocks and nap burrows. But they still get the most out of their tree. Like this feline fella above, he might not get to stretch out but you can be certain that he has used that top perch to pounce on many a plate of passing food.

It is not all too often that a cat tree bears fruit, and even rarer that it would bear as much feline fruit as this one has but that is the nature of cat trees, they can surprise you. One day you will barely have one piece of feline fruit atop your tree, and the next you will have three pieces of feline fruit ripe and ready for the picking. That being said, we do not think that these cattos are ready for their picking and would advise keeping your distance less you want to experience the thorns of these feline fruits.
