Okay, found some!
Hope they post!





Orange kitty is Mittens.
Grayish kitty is Shadow.

Also, I just love that cat cave tarasgirl06 tarasgirl06 It is so different.
I think my kitties would love that.
They get bored and I am always looking for something new for them.
Don't worry, they are not spoiled (much).
Wonder if it would be strong enough for them.
They are big kitties, as you all can see.
I am going to try and find something like that.
Simply love it!!

They are so cute curled up sleeping on it! They take turns sleeping on it?

tabbytom tabbytom Thank You!
Yes, they take turns. The tree has a bottom part and also a hiding space. However, they both like the top.
I use the bottom for my remote and their toys. I also have a chair in that room. Mittens usually prefers the chair and Shadow the tree. They like being together. They share all their things and take turns, never fight.
I am lucky with that!!

He is trying to catch the mouse without falling.
Clever kitty!

They have cutout space on each level except the "roof" and the "floor", so yes, they can climb it inside, very easily.  They love doing this.  

If you had the proper materials and tools, I don't see why you couldn't.  My ex was a finish carpenter at one time and he and I built a lot of cat houses -- I learned a lot from him!  If you're handy that way, you might be able to build something like this. 
I like the challenge of building my own. The cat trees available in Japan are very expensive and not that sturdy, so I'd rather spend the money on some tools and materials and make what I want. I've been watching some build-your-own videos on You Tube. I think I need a hot glue gun............

I used carpet glue and should have pointed out I used enviro-friendly, solvent free, low VOC glue. I applied the glue in a well ventilated space and let it sit for several days to air it out. I have seen an adhesive online that is pet safe (no VOC, don't need to ventilate, etc) but I have not located it in a store in Canada yet. I will search more before I build my next cat tree.

I am reluctant to try hot glue gun because I don't feel it will hold as well as an adhesive. However, I have never owned a nice high end hot glue gun so I would be curious to know how well it works? What sort of make / model of hot glue gun and what make / model of glue for it?

@Norachan

If you were in the foothills of Ottawa, ON, Canada I would gladly come give you a hand. Not that we have foothills here


A decent cat tree here is also overly expensive which is why I opted to make one. I wanted something heavy duty because Rusty is approx 18 pounds and still growing.

Seal photobombing Leo in the top of the cat tree.


[emoji]128516[/emoji] Hahaha! That's great. Cute!

I wish I'd been able to catch something on camera the other night. Sammy was stretching up high, scratching on the tree post, & I was telling her, " big girl, reach up high" because she's so short, & then up she went. She climbed the post to the shelf she sits on. It was the first & only time ( so far) I'd seen her do that. It was great! [emoji]128513[/emoji]

Honeybee on my lap, music playing in background
loving the pictures and stories. For some reason it won't let me click on the heart to givr purraise but i just wanted to say these are great photos.

Honeybee does the same as far as climbing up her tree. She often zooms up it without any stops!!

I'm so glad you said that. I've had the same experience when on my phone. It's agravating! So many things it won't let you do vs/ being on the lap top. Like, it also won't let choose a font color. (Tried before, & just a neon pink comes up, yuck!)
That's why when you see my "signature" purple font, I'm on the computer. Otherwise, I'm on my phone. Even though I have it on desktop for the phone. So many quirks like that on this site. Even emogies most times don't come up the first time, so then you do it again, & 2 show up, or it comes up at the begining of your post, instead of where you clicked to put it
..........????

Sorry to hear you're having all those problems. I only ever post from my PC so I have no idea what the site looks like from a phone. (My phone is basically one step up from two cans tied together with a  long piece of string..........
)

As you've probably heard TCS is going through some big changes at the moment. Hopefully the new TCS is going to be much easier to use from a phone. I'll pass all these things on so we can work on the problems.

Hey guys, on your phone, scroll all the way down to the end of the page and you'll see Mobile/Desktop. Switch to Desktop and your page will be like the normal browser page. Easier to navigate than on Mobile mode.
I surf 100% from me iPhone and iPad and both are in Desktop mode ;)
