Clifford Multifunction Cat Tree and Bookshelf
Mid I: Home CollectionA bookshelf that gives your cat a place to live in it - and looks like it belongs in your home whether or not you have a cat.

"The Clifford is one of those rare finds that solves two problems at once without compromising on either. Most cat furniture asks you to tolerate how it looks. This one you actually want in the room. I have it in my own home office - my cat has claimed the second shelf from the top and I use the rest for books. Nobody who comes in asks about the cat furniture. They ask about the bookshelf."
Head of Product CurationMost cat furniture announces itself the moment you walk into a room. The Clifford does the opposite. At nearly 69 inches tall with clean lines, a wood finish in Oak or Walnut, and metal feet, it reads as a bookshelf first - which is exactly the point. The shelves hold books, plants, and decorative objects at the lower levels while your cat quietly claims the upper territory as their own. Guests notice the furniture before they notice what the cat is doing in it.
The tiered shelf design works with cat behavior rather than against it. Cats naturally seek the highest available vantage point - and the Clifford's open shelf structure lets them move between levels, perch at the top, or retreat into the enclosed compartment when they want privacy. The shelves are solid enough to hold a lounging cat without flex, which matters more than most product descriptions admit. A wobbling shelf gets abandoned fast.
Available in Oak and Walnut finishes. Both work well in modern and transitional interiors - Oak reads lighter and works in rooms with natural wood tones, Walnut is richer and suits rooms with darker furniture or warmer neutrals. The metal feet keep the base off the floor and give it a furniture-grade finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my cat actually use it, or just ignore it? +
Most cats take to the Clifford quickly because it functions like furniture they already understand - shelves to jump onto, an enclosed space to retreat into, and a high vantage point at the top. Place it near a window if possible. Cats are more likely to adopt a piece that offers both height and a view. A blanket or familiar scent on one of the upper shelves during the first week helps with adoption.
Can I actually use it as a bookshelf? +
Yes - that is the point. The lower shelves work well for books, plants, and decorative objects. The upper levels naturally become cat territory since most cats prefer height, which tends to leave the lower and mid shelves available for storage. The enclosed compartment works as both a cat retreat and a storage cubby when not claimed. Most owners find a natural division emerges within the first few weeks without any deliberate planning.
How stable is it at nearly 69 inches tall? +
The Clifford is designed with a wide base relative to its height and the metal feet distribute weight evenly. For households with very active cats or kittens who launch themselves at furniture, we recommend wall-anchoring using the included hardware - a standard precaution for any tall bookshelf-format piece. This takes about 10 minutes and eliminates any tip risk entirely.
Oak or Walnut - which should I choose? +
Oak is a lighter, warmer tone that works well in rooms with natural wood, white or cream walls, and Scandinavian or modern-natural interiors. Walnut is deeper and richer - it suits rooms with darker furniture, warm neutral walls, or mid-century modern aesthetics. If your room has mixed wood tones, Walnut tends to be more forgiving. When in doubt, Oak is the more versatile of the two.
