wrote in message ... 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 yes they sure look happy to me playing away, your posts that fit to the ceiling look good :-) we had to get something really study for our cats as 2 x 15 to 20lb Ragdolls climbing up them..... they sure need to be study!

Considering a good cat tree can last for 10 years or more, I consider a few hundred dollars to be reasonable and justified. I bet you've spent more than that on home brewing supplies. ;-) You can also take a look at Petsmart. They have some pretty good cat trees. I just bought a decent one for $99. It has a round bed on the bottom, a tube in the middle, and another round bed on the top and stands about 5 feet tall. My cats took it over as soon as I got it in the door while it was still in the middle of the living room. :-) 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.

cat tree can last for 10 years or more, I consider a few hundred dollars to be reasonable and justified. The cat trees we've made will probably outlast the house. But it's the carpet that takes the wear and tear. I've begun to really prefer using upholstery material. It also wears out and gets clawed up, but it seems so much easier to replace than the carpet. And if you're so inclined to have your stuff perfectly coordinated and matched (I'm not!).....there's alot of fabric available to choose from. I like the sisal on the post parts, too, it seems more durable. (Does anyone but me collect the claw sheaths off the cat tree? LOL. Thought not.) Sherry |
