    Think we need a new cattower....

    Hey humans of PT, we think we need a new scratchtower!!! Urgently!!
    We are all big fans of this tower, but see for yourself, isn't it a bit like the tower of Pisa???
    What if one day we all fall off? On our pretty noses????

    See for yourself!!

    New Tower! New Tower! It is a unanimous vote from Tinker, Buddy and Mama.

    I found a really nice tower at Petco when I was in the store last time and they are already put together if you buy them in the store. That was a plus for me. I haven't been back yet to buy it but it is going to be soon.

    hmmmm, That tower is definitely leaning. I used to have one and I put a thingy around it and actually attached it to the wood wall. Later Luke decided never to use it so I removed it and put wood putty in the screw holes. I also recall tower had a thingy that went at the top and I could wedge it between the top of tower and the ceiling but Luke was so big I also reinforced tower to the wall.

    Now girls, if Dad is handy, there are probably just screws or bolts that need to be tightened or have washers added and it will be good as new!

    Use supports until that won't work anymore. That tower looks like my first tower that I still have. Part of it broke off and I discovered the sisal columns had cardboard underneath and not wood.

    Jane loves my blue tall tower. It's high and she sleeps and plays up top. It's holding up otherwise.

    Your tower does have bolts that can be tightened but not if the sisal columns have become separated from the plastic supports.

    Good luck.

    Girls, if meowmie gets you a new tower, insist on all wood.

    Thank you for the chuckle!

    Yes, many of them only need to be tightened, but I'm sure that's been done. NEW TOWER! Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't write that, I think NEW TOWER my keyboard is being taken over by a furry NEW TOWER force.

    Yes, it sure looks like a new tower is needed. My largest cat tree also has screws that can be tightened. Now when my cats jump up on the highest ledge, it squeaks. Good luck.

    Hello my lovely Inka,
    Oh yes, you and your sisters definitely need a new tower! Your safety and comfort are hanging in the balance. How terrible it would be if you fell off and landed on your nose - the horror You and your sisters could get ouchies.

    Tell you what, my Sweet. Tomorrow at Cat Court my purralegal and I will start researching your situation under Belgium's kitty laws. Maybe that way you can gain some leverage here.

    I'll definitely be in touch.

    Purrs, headbumpies, kitty hugs, and kitty kisses,
    Love,
    Your devoted Groucho
