I did laugh out loud at this one. Typical kitty reaction! The tree looks awesome though. I am sure he'd get used to it and learn to love it!

 Me too! That is soo funny!  Well, remember it seemed like a long time before Angel warmed up to his, cat nip rubbed on it & all, but was actually only about a week. He STILL doesn't get on it, but he loves scratching on the post, so it's still worth it for me. 
  Maybe Jed will warm up to it soon.

Have you sprinkled any cat nip on it?  I also placed a couple of Angel's favorite mice toys on it. & he would reach up & knock them off, & start playing.

THis is actually pretty normal, albeit frustrating for him. 
 He's an odd one. He's completely fine with routine changes, new furniture, furniture arrangement, etc. But he has this idea in his head that he needs my permission to do things. I let him climb on anything in my house (except my roommate's desk on the right), but he hasn't understood that. So to him, this new furniture is off-limits unless I patiently coax him onto it. Still working on it. He's not very bright. 
 The upside to all this is that it doesn't take long to teach him what is not allowed (climb on my desk when I have food around).

He's also a bush dweller, so he likes to be on the ground more than up somewhere.

Where did you find this? Can my cats come visit? Lol
Really... Did it come set up?
I have 4 kittens and the one I bought isn't doing the trick. Too small. And my cats are kittens still!

Armarkat A7401. I got it on sale at the pet store near my place. 

Mine came unassembled, but it's not that too difficult. All the tools are provided, although strong arms probably help too, but not necessary.

Wayfair.com, Chewy.com and Amazon.com are great places to purchase cat trees from. Check around and see who has the lowest price and free shipping for any tree you are looking to purchase.

Funny photo!  

We have one exactly like yours, only in dark brown.  I think we got it at Petco.  It took a few months for our cats to really start using it, they were just used to the old one.  I can't tell from your photo--does it have a little mouse hanging from one of the cubes?  Ours does and Rico just recently discovered it.  He LOVES playing with that mouse now he knows it's there.

Thanks! I am an Amazon Prime member... the one tree is great but small.
I have one very similar from the same company.  I think they always have to be assembled.  I am not at all good with putting things like that together, not a mechanically inclined bone in my body, but I managed to put it together.  The instructions are easily understood and are pretty idiot proof.

Thanks! My husband isn't as handy as most men.... but I bet he could do it. He is a computer geek. :)

Nice!  Mason, my tabby, will get on stuff as you're putting it together.  Julie, his sister, will stalk it for a few days first.
