7. Oh- poor Osiris. She has no fur coat of her own, does she?

What's cool about that one is the steps. I have a far more simple "kitty condo" but my older kitty now has a hard time getting up on it.

9. Nope shes hairless - same with Prince, but he has more fuzz
than Si does. The ladder would be a good idea for your older kitty! Easier on his joints.

4. Check on ebay - I got it for 69 + shipping
Not bad at all for the size of this beast - over 6' tall.

6. How much was shipping though?
All the ones I looked at on E-Bay a while back had outrageous shipping.

11. I was thinking of ordering from this place
Higher prices, but free shipping, so the prices work out about the same

12. I ordered one time from their sister site..
A month goes by and still no cat tree. I emailed them 5x, called them and left messages, and no one ever responded. I finally filed a dispute through Paypal and I got my money back. Then the reason for the seller to give me my money back was "Item is on a month backorder" Why couldnt they have told me that in the first place and I wouldnt have filed a dispute is beyond me. I just found that a little odd.

15. OMG! You are a wonderful mother!

That looks fabulous!

My husband built an outdoor cat cage for our kitties, out of chicken wire and scrap lumber. There is a ramp from the house through the patio door. It's been the best thing we've ever done for them, with lots of wood log ramps and perches.


I'm constantly making improvements to it...I added a zen-like rock garden last summer, and they love lounging on the rocks.

16. Your cats are cooperative.
My cats would ignore that and insist on using the furniture and the decrepit old scratching post we tried to hide behind the sofa. :)
