opinions on them? The platforms/perches seem a bit small for my 13lb cat, but the reviews are great!

I really like this one, I'm just worried it's too big. It's for our office and we're going to put it in a corner next to a bookshelf and a window. I also like this one. http://www.armarkat.com/classic-cat-...1/prod_28.html but I'm worried the house is a little small...my cat is about 14lbs.Originally Posted by carolinalima
This is the one I have:
My cats love it - I have one 18lb cat, one 13 lb, and one 10lb... they are often together in it, and the only problem my 18lb has, is the problem he has jumping, but he surely gets himself up there! Right now he is in that middle box, and the other 2 in the perches...
They use it all the time, and I mean ALL the time - either to play or to sleep... Definitely a great way to spend kitty budget, no question about it!!!
I will say custom made by you is not hard.. I know the bengal proof trees are spendy... but making one that is sturdier than most is not $$ nor hard...Originally Posted by Kai Bengals
If you have inactive or mildly active cats, these trees are fine. Obviously the price is much better, but keep in mind, you get what you pay for.
Since you only have the one cat, this is probably a good tree for you.
For active breeds they are much too flimsy and the materials used to make them wear out really fast. Once upon a time I had 3 of the tall ones. Not a single one of them made it past 6 months.
All my trees are now custom made from raw wood with high grade carpet and they are bengal proof.
Ok I got it and my cat *LOVES* it. It looks much bigger in person than the pics...delivery was super fast (they're located in the same state). Also, the pics looked pinkish, but it's an off white. The size is perfect for one cat and I was worried that the 15x15 perches might me a little small for my cat (she's about 14lbs) but they're just fine. She even bites on the rope part sometimes and I thought it would get no use. Also, it says pressed wood, but my BF swears it's plywood. Seems very sturdy...our 65lbs dog has put her front paws on it and it just wobbles a bit, but I put a large book on the base for that reason (I knew the dog would do that). I haven't had it for long, but just with one cat I'm sure it will hold up for years and the price was good.Originally Posted by venusgirltrap
update:
I ordered this one off of ebay for about $110. http://www.armarkat.com/classic-cat-...1/prod_28.html
I ordered it Tuesday night and it's out for delivery right now. I'll update again when we get it put together. I wanted a bigger one, but it's going to be in our home office, so we didn't want anything too wide.
Thanks for all the help.
