    Nice! Love it. I am so jealous. I have wanted to get a new cat tree for my cats. I wonder if my Big Lots has these. I will have to check it out.

    Is it the usual cat tree carpeting? It looks softer. Also, is it pretty sturdy? My guys like to run and leap onto the old cat tree I have that broke apart.

    I got one. I checked the big Lots AD and went right down to pick it up.

    It's as heavy-as-all-get-out. Not knocking over easily. Two people to load it in the car (4 feet high and 2 feet wide square so it won't get through small car doors. I have a Scion XB that's so cool for transporting stuff.) I had to use my furniture trolley to get it in the house and now I have to put furniture sliders on it so I can move it easily through the house.

    As far as the carpeting, I don't know. It's carpeting.

    And Spunky and Jane can fit up the tree trunk. Sam is too big even if he lost half his weight. The tree is still in the front hallway at the door. It took two minutes of sniffing around and all 3 cats were exploring and lounging on the tree.

    Thank You ToTK

    yeah it's definitely well made and not tippy at all. I tried to tilt it to put a scratch mat under one side and the whole thing just slid over. It's just standard carpeting as near as I can tell. Same stuff that's on scratching posts. My guys only like the loopy carpet so they're content just to lay on it. I don't know how well it will hold up to scratching. There is a shorter pile carpet lining the inside of the trunk so there is no exposed wood or cardboard, even on the bottom of the base.

    I didn't get an ad today, but I was at the local store and they still didn't have any. Come to think of it, I don't know that I've ever seen cat furniture of any type at that particular store. Just food, toys and beds.

    Wow! What a great tree!

    Death thought about it.

    Sorry for the delay. Here are a few of the pix of the critters and the new tree. They couldn't wait for me to put it in place. It almost didn't make it out of the front hallway.

    The few photos that I didn't place below are in the Kitty Clan album.





    Finally at it's destination next to my new couch.







    And of of Jane just because she is so beautiful.
