Oops...scroll down and see the pictures of the tall skinny ones. I
think those are the ones being sold, not the one with the hammock. I think they're pretty neat. My DH spent an entire weekend building an elaborate cat condo, complete with sisal posts and hideout and such, and they only seem to like the perches anyway. It's in front of the window and they love lying on it and looking out. He could have saved a lot of time just building one like that one. Sherry |

I think if you are going to get one good cat tree this is probably not
the best, especially since you have a vaulted ceiling which makes the tension rod problematic and the tree unstable. I do have several similar trees that I have placed around the house and one of these would be great for another area of your house where you have lower ceilings. I'm sure the cat would have fun climbing it and you don't need to have just one cat tree ;-) Check out the tiered cat condos and similar he http://www.createacatcondo.com I have the 4 tier condo and it was the best investment I've made and is so well made I have no doubt it will last for many, many years. Also check out this page (there's a pic of the 4 tier condo there) and look at the scratching post. You can get it at Petsmart and it is the perfect height and surface for most cats. I have several of these and my cats use them constantly: http://community.webtv.net/zuzu22/scratch You want to make sure that the tree is sturdy and has comfortable beds on it that your cat can sleep well in. Most cats really seem to like the round beds with the raised edge (which keeps them from falling off, too :-) ) Megan "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." -Edmund Burke Learn The TRUTH About Declawing http://www.stopdeclaw.com Zuzu's Cats Photo Album: http://www.PictureTrail.com/zuzu22 "Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too.

Sherry yes all my cats use the platforms and posts, we do have a hide-a-way one as well, never seen it being used to be honest, only the scratch post bit! they like to be seen I think, they never hide away, are normally on the bed by my pc in our spare room or on the settee or playing on their fiesta when I am in the lounge. and on our bed of a night time. -- Luv'n'Stuff *~*SooZy*~* New Pictures added every few days http://community.webshots.com/user/ragdollcatsuk |

From: "~*SooZy*~"
wrote in message .. . I can't tell, is it freestanding, or is it a floor-to-ceiling that wedges in with a spring bar? Our room has a vaulted ceiling. If it is freestanding, is it stable? free standing, and yes its stable, only 1 of mine uses the hammock, I have put hooks hidden under the platforms to add toys to it, I think it was a really good buy. Soozy mine stands about 5ft high I'm seeing 2 different ones on the site. The first one with the hammock looks free standing, and then if you scroll down, it says "here is the larger picture of what you're buying" and that looks like a floor to ceiling one with a spring bar.
