Is a cat tree patented?

Short answer: specific designs of a cat tree have been patented many times, but "a cat tree" as a general idea is not what is protected. What matters is the exact combination of features in your version.

What this means for your idea

Because patents cover specific combinations of features, the useful question is not “has a cat tree been patented?” but “has my combination of features been described before?” Pet products are a popular invention category; differences tend to be in the attachment, the dispensing or cleaning mechanism, or added electronics.
