About a month ago we bought Mika one of the floor-to-ceiling cat trees from WalMart. It's fairly plain with three swivel platforms. He loves the thing, just LOVES it! Unfortunately, and actually predictably, it was made cheaply with a thick cardboard tube.
See, Mika is pretty hard on the thing. He runs and jumps on it and throws his weight around while he's on it... I think he thinks he's tarzan. It shimmies and shakes and sounds like he's going to bring the ceiling down! We already had to brace the second shelf with brackets attaching it to the walls (it's in a corner), but now he's broken off the top plunger thing that holds it in place against the ceiling.
My question is, does anyone know of a good quality tree that will suit this little tazmanian devil? I don't think he could use a free standing one, he'll just topple it right over... especially since he's no where near growing yet and could likely double his weight and pull it through the wall
Would we be better off crafting one from scratch out of PVC?
