We built a cat tree!

We spent Halloween building a new cat tree. The cats seem to like it and we're pretty proud of the job we did. The best part was that it was built from stuff we had lying around the garage. The only thing we had to buy was sisal rope. So what do y'all think?

That looks great.

wow, that is awesome!!

Well done The cats look pretty pleased with your efforts.

Keith chewing on his tree.

I really like it. Are you taking orders?

Wow! Fantastic job! I like it!

Very nice job on the tree. The kittehs seem to like it. Keith is such a cutie! Love the splotch on his nose!

Nice and solid! Great for actual adult sized cats. Do they love the extra tall scratching post on it?
It dwarfs your tiny one, though.

That is a nice tree! I bet they love that extra tall post.

Wow, I can't believe you made that, its fantastic, you should be proud of yourselves and the kittys look very happy.xx

There is a big company in Phoenix that makes a lot of the cat trees you see in PetCo, PetSmart, etc. I got the distinct impression that scrap lumber and carpet were major factors in their construction. Which, I guess, is a good thing!

The two shelves are 22"x18" so there's plenty of room for lounging or wrestling and the older cats like to climb up the tall scratching post to get to that top shelf. The kittens aren't paying much attention to it yet. We are planning on adding some ramps or stairs later because Buster is a senior and it may become difficult for him to jump and climb in the future.

Really great design....
big enough perches for a large cat's comfort.
I love Keith's face.

I may have my hubby build one like that, it looks really comfortable for the cats.

That's a good idea. I have one with a couple of ladders because I have a clumsy cat. If you wrap the ramps in sisal rope or sisal cloth they could double as scratching surfaces.

Nicely done!!

Cool cat tree! I'm going to tell my Mom about it, she wants one but doesn't want to spend the money.

Awesome! Looks like it's kitty approved!

Yes, could I have one in blue? You have a potential cottage industry here!
