Re: Big (dead) Tree trunk


Martin your cats run sounds like it will be wonderful when it`s finished, the tree is a brill idea and Milo will love it for scratching.
We have one in our cat pen that we salvaged from up the road when they were chopping some trees down, my OH with the help of a neighbour fetched it down trimmed it so that it would fit in the pen then they concreted it into the floor, we also have shelves running around the edges of the pen and over the tree, wich they love to sit on and watch what`s going on.

Ooh me too... need ideas myself. At the minute its just a big rectangle with a tree. I was thinking about ramps/shelves, but I wouldn't mind doing platforms instead, so he has to jump his fat bum up to places (he needs exercise)

What a beautiful boy, I'm sure he's going to love his run. Good luck with the tree!

Re: Big (dead) Tree trunk


I would like to see photos too, having discovered (before disaster) that Bengals can climb wooden fences. I thought I was fairly cat proofed, but the wooden fence down one side of the garden is so not!
