I can build or make many of the things I need/want. I've been looking at cat trees and condos and I'm just extremely reluctant to spend 3-400 bucks on something that to me is made out of scraps (with the exception of the carpet) I've got laying around my shop. While I'm trying to design one for my upcoming kitties, I thought I would solicit some input from the members of TCS while I try to design "The Ultimate Cat Tree!"
What do you like/don't like about your present cat tree?
What would you change?
What would your "dream" cat tree consist of?
Any advice re: same? Bear in mind that this will be for what will eventually be a couple of fully grown Maine Coon males, so a major concern will be stability, but I can always lag screw the thing to the ceiling joists and the floor if need be!
I promise to take "in progress" photos of the work as it progresses, and maybe even write up a "Do It Yourself" cat tree type page if everything comes together
