MICHU DeskMate — A Cat Perch That Uses Your Desk, Not Your Floor
Create a dedicated elevated resting spot for your cat without adding another bulky piece of furniture to the room with the MICHU DeskMate Desk-Mounted Cat Tree.
Designed to clamp directly onto compatible desks and tables, DeskMate gives your cat a comfortable perch beside you while keeping valuable floor space clear — ideal for home offices, apartments, studios and smaller living spaces.
Key Features
Zero-Floor-Space Design
Mounts to the edge of a compatible desk or table, creating vertical cat space
without taking up the footprint of a traditional cat tree.
Fits 1–7cm Desk Thicknesses
The adjustable dual-screw clamp system accommodates a wide range of suitable
desk and tabletop thicknesses.
Supports Cats Up to Approx. 8kg
A sturdy curved metal frame provides structural support for everyday lounging
when correctly installed on an appropriate surface.
Removable Washable Cushion
The included cotton cushion can be removed for cleaning and is machine washable
for easier everyday maintenance.
Black & White Options
Streamlined metal arms and neutral colour options make the DeskMate easy to
coordinate with contemporary desks and home-office setups.
Designed for Small-Space Cat Homes
Traditional cat trees can occupy a significant amount of floor space. DeskMate instead turns an existing piece of furniture into a raised 42cm-wide cat perch, making it especially practical when every square metre matters.
A Dedicated Spot Beside Your Workspace
Many cats enjoy resting in elevated positions and staying close to their people. The desk-mounted design gives them their own place to settle beside you while you work, study or create — without giving up your desktop or office floor.
Thoughtful Material Design
The resting basket incorporates paper-based components, while the structural support uses a durable metal frame. This material approach is designed with resource efficiency and more considered end-of-life pathways in mind.
Easy Desk-Mounted Installation
- Choose a suitable surface: Confirm your desk or tabletop is stable, structurally sound and between 1–7cm thick.
- Position the bracket: Attach the mounting bracket to the desired edge of the desk.
- Tighten evenly: Secure the dual clamps according to the included assembly instructions.
- Install the basket and cushion: Complete assembly using the supplied hardware and confirm all components are secure before allowing your cat to use it.
Ideal For
- Home offices and study desks
- Apartments and compact homes
- Rooms where floor space is limited
- Cats that enjoy elevated resting spots
- Cats up to approximately 8kg
- Minimalist and contemporary interiors

Take additional care with delicate, hollow, glass or easily marked surfaces.
