Cat Tree

[Lee4847]

My brother Salty sent me an e-mail about the tree he made for his cat Lucky. I think he just has not had time to post a picture. He said he didn't think the cat appreciated the effort, But as you can see the he really does.

Very cool. I used to build them on a regular basis for my cat Marty. He went through them often. Better I built more "trees" than replace my funiture.

they are on my "honey-do" list, along with window perches.

Although his teeth are very similar to the ones on the Langoliers, he is not smiling.
He/it never smiles and is always in a rotten mood.
D@#m cat!

Oh, and just for the record....it is not my cat. We just tolerate each other.

That is pretty cool looking. I think I'd have to make one that laid across the bed to get our Tigger to use it.

Yup, you only think you own a cat! It owns you.

Nice cat trees. A neighbor builds them and the local Humane Society sells them for $250.00 each. His are a bit big and bulky, I like the looks of yours and how it fits in a corner.

Our daughter had a sign at her house with a picture of her cat that read "Hershey and his staff live here"

When you call a dog, he/she happily comes. When you call a cat, he/she says, " My people will get back to you".

Very nice tree. A cardboard box left on the floor a day or so is welcomed by my wife's female cat. I don't want to spoil her with an apartment complex just for her.

I recently completed one as well, Kitty moved in immediately, and I mean moved in. She drags her cat toys up the thing and bats them around on the top tier...

If you haven't done a kitty condo yet, DON'T unless you like working with carpet. Making the corners was the hardest part....

I'm gonna have to clean it up now and post some pics, if I can ever get enough cat toys off of it...

Why doesn't if fall over?

[Salty]

Because it has one fastener into the wall at the base of the top box. I wasn't going to do that but then the darn cat took a long leap from a window shelf to the top and it moved so much that I had to fasten it to the wall. It also has 2 legs at the bottom but that didn't help much. It will stand there on it's own if there is no jumping of animals.

On the ones I've built, I used a largish rectangle of 3/4" plywood as the base. On occasion I've had to put a brick on it to hold it steady.
