Which cat tree height works for a Birman that wants views but not extreme parkour?

For a Birman, aim for a cat tree around 5 to 6 feet tall. That gives them a solid vantage point to survey the room without the need for crazy climbing or jumping. Birmans are sturdy but not built for elite acrobatics-they prefer a gentle ascent with broad, carpeted platforms.

Make sure the tree has a wide base for stability and large perches or a top basket, not tiny shelves. Skip anything under 4 feet-they’ll ignore it-and avoid towers over 7 feet, which risk injury if they misjudge a jump.
