Some pictures of my three fluffketeers hanging out on their beloved cat tree...

P.S. Does anyone know how we can make the third level of our cat tree more stable... ?? it's really wobbly!!

I would add a couple screws into the platform going into the post. It would be best of you pre-drilled the holes a little smaller than the screws.

Hmmm....not sure i can do that you know....ours is plastic on the inside...
Do you think adding another pole/stronger piece of wood between the top level and the bottom level would work if i drilled and screwed it inbetween the top and the base?

Oh how precious!! And that is a GREAT tree.

My tree was kinda wobbly, but after I put it flat against the wall it was fine. I dunno if you can do that with yours.

That is so adorable. I want to get a tree but my hubby says that we are out of room in the apartment and that boxes are good enough, but I think that I am wearing him down!!

We tried placing ours against a wall, but honestly, who ever designed it must have applesauce for brains, because it was never particularly stable. Had they put an extra sisal wrapped pole between the top level and the floor it would have been perfect.

So we're going to do that ourselves...
I've had to take the top bit off for now as it was leaning over at a forty five degree angle.... The screw was entirely shredded!! Not a quality item...

Ohhh they are just to sweet.


The only suggestion I have is put an eye hook in the wall, (a hole that can be patched up easily) wrap some scicle around the pole and tie it tightly to the eye hook. That should stabilize the entire cat tree.


Good luck

thanks for all the suggestions everyone ...
Still not too sure what we're going to do, but in the meantime we've taken the top level down just in case they all decide to race to the tope one day and the whole thing just bends over.
