We are thinking of making another cat tree for the furbabies when we move. Do you have any pics of your cat trees? I found Efrat's, Chinadoll's and The Cat Factory's in a search. Any others you can share?
If you have made one, what type of material did you use for the vertical poles?
Thanks!
I just got this one for my birthday!! I'm posting the pic from the catalogue's website because I'm still setting mine up. I will take pics when I have it up. I'm going to get another bigger one when I move in a couple months!

Thanks Aly, that's great, particularly the hollow sleeping shape at the top! I'm sure your cat family will love it :)
We are getting the cats one for Christmas...here is the site we are looking at, they have many different styles.
Cat Trees
....I was planning to made one on my own , a personalised one, and for that purpose I stocked soooo many pictures of cat Trees that you wont belive. :rolleyes:
Ussualy that kind of things end up buying one at the store when I get the chance, not so many at my city , need to go to the Big City (Barcelona).
All that blabering to say I can send to you all the Cat Tree pics if you want. ;)

i think cat trees a great idea and i have seen several of them....my question to everybody......do the cats realllly love them and use them or is it just that "we" love them?
My cats think it is the best thing to play on and lay high up in the tree. I actually want to get more, but can never decide exactly which one to get next.
One that have was handmade (but not by me) and the vertical poles are wooden beams 4 inches by 4 inches.
I have a couple of cat trees for my babies. One with a hamper + tubes and platforms - they don't like the hamper though. I think it's so cute...they don't care, lol!
I also have one I can keep building and adding to - I just order the parts I want...it's almost up to the ceiling now!
Here's ours, we didn't build it though, we bought it. Well, we did have to put it together, but that was piece of cake with 2 helping cats around :rolleyes:

I just got through making one for my furkids. Although it is not finished, as it still has to be carpeted and wound with rope. But some of my cats appear to like to sleep in it. The verticals are 2- 2x4s' held together by dry-wall screws, with a lower shelf about half way up and then a top shelf that is up about 9ft.(3 meters) from the floor. There are 3 horizontal wooden bars, about 12 inches (apx, 4.8 cm) apart that facilitate my furkids ascent to the top. It is fastened to the wall by means of the top shelf, and placed in a portion of the room where I can watch them play on it. They all have taken turns trying it out at sundry times. But there are only 2 of them that like to sleep on it, namely; Amy, and Cookie. Amy is the only one who uses it all the time.

WOW NIINA!!!! Aren't your Casper and Kitty sweet? Fancy allowing humans to share their apartment!!!!!! LOL!
I just loooooove their cat tree! :) :)
My cats adore it. They have a cat tree that goes from the bottom to the ceiling with one platform and 2 hammocks. The upper one, about 1 foot under the ceiling is favorite sleeping place Number 1. The second one a little below is well accepted.Quote:

They also like to play. If I throw a mousie up there you can see them in no time rushing up. For house cats that cannot go out it' s a good replacement for a tree.
Yeah Lynne, we are very fortunate to live with them ;)Quote:

Thank you everybody :) And thanks Koxka for the e-mail, there are some great trees! I am envious of Casper and Kitty's hammock, if I were a cat I'd spend all day lazily swinging in it!
I have a big tree I got from Petsmart - the vertical poles are made from real trees - bark and everything. They aren't wrapped with anything. I can take a picture if you'd like to see. The carpet part is pretty ripped up (I've had it almost ten years), but the tree poles are as good as new. The cats prefer to rip on the carpet parts.
Has anyone re-carpeted a cat tree?
