Epic custom tree

Post image

We’ve had this tree for ages; my husband commissioned it from a local tree maker for $600. It’s nine feet tall, sturdy enough to support a human, and has been appreciated by a variety of cats over the years.

THERES A SQUIRREL TOO? Pretty epic cat tree well worth the money

Sandy was a later addition. My partner found her on eBay for cheap and we couldn’t resist. The cats never seemed too interested in her, so she must be old enough that all the good smells have worn off.

Nice tree, do they use the cat wheel?

u/PaisleyLeopard 20d ago

Occasionally, but never for more than half a minute. Mostly if they get the zoomies they’ll do a mad dash on the wheel and then go pick on a sibling. ;)

2 of my 4 cats LOVE the wheel, the other 2 have never set foot on it

I would never see my cats because they would live in there 23/7. The other hour they’re just eating their daily meals 🤣

They went through a phase as kittens where their feet rarely touched the ground. If you couldn’t find the kittens they were up in their charging stations. 😆

Eventually they outgrew it and now they hang with us a lot of the time. They still use the tree, but not as often.

I love it! The only limitations are space and money as far as I am concerned. I love the world of catifcation so much.

Real squirrel? It’s hard to tell if it’s an action shot.

Yep, Sandy is our resident bad taxidermy. She was cheap on eBay and we couldn’t resist.
