Tree recommendations

Post image

Howdy, I have this space approx 10ft tall by my panty and the cats love getting up there but see to have trouble getting down. I was wondering should I get a taller cat tree than the one pictured or should I do the DIY style tiered shelves some people make to give them a way up there. I was also thing of putting some beds and toys up there for them

Tall cat trees are cool but can be expensive. It would certainly help them getting up and down if you can swing it. Shelves of some type (there are some cool cat ones that are carpeted) would work too.

That's a cool cat space up there.

Yeah I was seeing 8/9ft tall trees are about 120-150 for the higher quality one but it still cost me like 80 for materials for the shelves plus the effort of layout and assembly

Following, I'm in a similar boat. Bonus points if the cat tree advertisement isn't AI, I'm so sick of seeing AI cat trees.

Agreed, I have 2 from them in places where I wanted big and tall trees.

Very well made. Fairly pricey.

Expensive cat trees can be well worth it.

I had 3 'deluxe' cat trees by this one company (Kitty Mansions) that I absolutely loved, they were made with bigger 5-6 inch diameter posts and were pretty heavy duty yet shipped in boxes and easy to put together.

I had to sell mine when I moved from the US back to Canada, and I wish that they shipped here as I'd totally buy more if I could.

They almost closed down shop a few years back but I think they are still selling a smaller inventory of trees now. They also have cheaper regular sized ones.

I had the Paris and Melbourne styles, plus a discontinued Tokyo (I think) one that was a smaller 65" height. Totally recommend them. I'm not sure if the ones that say sold out are ever in stock as I don't look often and they've mostly shown that each time.

Use the hamburger menu to find the deluxe trees.

There was also another website that sold them and sometimes had other stock available or different cheaper prices. It's called Cat's Play Furniture but the trees were not listed as Kitty Mansions just as coming from a manufacturer #. It was listed like 'manufacturer 13' at the bottom and when you clicked the name you could see all supplied by that company.

Unfortunately, I just went and they've updated the whole website UI and it no longer shows that same way to find everything they might have. I did find one of the deluxe trees, the Iceland so here is the link.

They do have some great collections available and various styles of trees/gyms and many being made to order.
