Title: Need a cat tree - just don't know what to get
Post by: Den on April 01, 2008, 14:51:53 PM
Sorry to have another cat tree thread.

I need to get Memphis a cat tree but I'm seriously restricted to space. When I eventually move  :innocent: he can have the biggest one there is. He definitely cant have a tall one here. The small ones just don't appear fun enough. I don't know what makes a cat tree fab. I think it can be 3-4ft tall max, I have a perfect place for it to go. I've looked on Zooplus but the one I really love is far too big  :'(

So I want something more than a pole with a flat bit on top but not massive .... everything just seems so big  :Crazy:

Which would be better

I love this but can't work out its overall height

Also has anyone ordered from there before?

I haven't ordered from there before but the last one you picked looks good.  I bought a cheapy cat tree but regret it as it's unstable with only two poles attaching to the bottom square, I'd recommend trying to find one with three 'legs'.

The max height that one would be is 94cm (assuming that the two tallest poles go on top of each other plus the box).  Might be smaller as I can't work out where the three height poles go.

I like the first one, that looks cool but probably not very exciting for kitty.  I have a plain scratching pole, just a pole nothing else and Lily loves climbing it and sitting on top, she hugs it and digs her claws in on the way up, so maybe just a pole with a ledge would be good?  It would need to attach to the ceiling to be stable enough though.

Good luck and post a piccy of your kitty on it when you get it.
