Very nice. Lucky cats! I have a very similar one from Zooplus and mine use it all the time, one of the best things I have bought!

I like that! Lovely pics, thanks for sharing. Cats do love sitting in high places, don't they?

Thanks for those great pictures Oscarsmum! Your frame looks wonderful outside - perhaps a bit big for indoors? Hope your cats both get to love it - I expect they will.

I could of course have an outside frame too - but just for now an inside one will be perfect for them with winter around the corner.

it is very similar to the one I have angie, even down to the pawprints on it lol, only difference is I have 2 caves on mine. My 3 LOVE it. they spend all day lounging on it, climbing up it, chasing each other round it etc

. They have had theirs for 2 years now, and it's still going strong

Yes it is an outdoor frame...not intended for indoor use (unless you live in a mansion )
Paolo had a session on it today so it's a hit with both boys

Oh dear, I must have weird cats because when I had a similar cat tree not one of the fluffs even twitched a whisker in its direction.

It ended up going to CP as I'm sure they had plenty of kits who would enjoy it!

Angie, I look forward to seeing Kizzy and Pip enjoying their pressie

, OM, that's a really cool cat tree!!

This is Murphy on the Cradle when I'd just set it up. It wasn't complete then. The rocking platform hadn't been attached.
Yes he loves it

Paolo...not so much

but it's early days yet

Sorry for hijacking your thread Angieh

I have one very similar in my conservatory, mine is taller and has an attached ladder.....They are brilliant for big cats........

Never came across that site before - looks great. One bit of advice. I have had a few different style trees/platforms over the years. The problem I've had is if you have a boistrous/heavy cat and they take a leap on to it, the ones with only two supporting legs tend to start to bend over after a while - we had one that was very leaning tower of Pisa.

The one we have now has three legs and is much more stable.

Think I'd have a go at making one in the future - bet it would last much longer too.
