A festive guide to creating a magical vertical world your cat will love all season long.
The holidays are here, your tree is up, the lights are twinkling, and your cat is… already plotting how to scale the decorations like a tiny furry mountaineer.
This year, instead of battling your cat off the Christmas tree (again), give them their own festive playground. Wall climbers are the perfect way to keep your kitty enriched, active, and happily occupied while still keeping your home looking beautiful for the holiday season.
Why Cat Wall Climbers Are The Holiday Upgrade
The silly season brings chaos, guests, wrapping paper, new smells, decorations everywhere. While we’re loving the festive energy, cats often need height, comfort, and safe spaces to feel secure.
Wall climbers give them:
✔ A cozy place to observe Christmas chaos from above
✔ A safe outlet for extra energy
✔ A vertical playground that stops them attacking your tree
✔ Enrichment when the house is busy and loud
✔ A stylish setup that blends right into your festive décor
And unlike bulky cat trees (you know the ones… huge, beige, ugly), wall climbers:
- don’t take up floor space
- are modern + aesthetic
- transform empty walls into meaningful territory
- can be styled with garlands, fairy lights, and Christmas accents
-
Your home still looks gorgeous and your cat gets their best Christmas ever
Installation Made Easy
One thing Pryde Pets parents love most?
Our climbers are insanely easy to install, even if your toolbox is just a drawer full of “mystery screws.”
All you need is:
- a drill
- a spirit level
- a pencil the included screws
- maybe a stud finder (for hollow wall installations)
- and the magic tool every cat parent raves about: wall templates
🎄 The Wall Template Advantage
Inside every Pryde Pets box, you’ll find a full-size template that show you exactly where to drill.
Just tape → mark → drill → done.
It’s stress-free, Christmas-day-morning-level simple.
And if you’re planning a bigger festive playground, templates help you lay out the design before making any holes. No guesswork. No stress. No “Oh no, that’s crooked.”

Christmas-Themed Playground Ideas
Here are some festive layout ideas guaranteed to engage your cat physically and mentally while adding serious charm to your home.
1. The Christmas Climbing Cascade
Create a diagonal run starting low and ending near your Christmas tree’s height, but not touching it.
This gives your cat:
✔ a safe alternative to climbing the tree
✔ a high vantage point to supervise present opening
✔ an escape route when guests arrive
Decor idea: add a battery-powered mini garland along the wall (out of reach).
2. Santa’s Sleigh Run
Build a multi-level pathway near a window.
Perfect for holiday bird-watching and Christmas morning sunbathing.
Add a cozy blanket or festive cushion at the top perch for that “Winter Wonderland” vibe.
3. The Stocking Station Perch
Place a climber shelf above your cat’s Christmas stocking.
This spot becomes their:
- personal lookout
- snack-watching zone
- Santa surveillance seat
It photographs beautifully for Christmas morning content.
4. The Fireplace Highway (or TV Unit Highway)
Install a few climbers above the fireplace or TV cabinet, an ideal “people watching” area during festive gatherings.
Your cat stays part of the celebration from a safe height.
5. The Multi-Cat Merry Motorway
If you’ve got more than one cat, create:
- multiple routes
- varied heights
-
different “destinations”
This reduces tension during high-energy Christmas days and keeps everyone happy.
Keep Your Home Aesthetic (and Festive)
Pryde Pets climbers are designed to blend beautifully with your décor, even your Christmas theme.
Our felt shelves (made from 100% recycled PET bottles) are:
