I can't find the thread again, so I'll have to post seperately... I
just watched the video of your furry friends exploring their new cat
tree. How cute! It looks like the boys are going to grow up to be VERY
big cats (either that or Jesse is remarkably small...) Looks like they
love that new tree!

We just bought the girls a new cat tree of their own, but it's not
nearly as nice as yours... really we got ripped off. Never ever
EVER buy a super-cheap cattree on Ebay! I thought it would be big
enough for Silver to climb on it comfortably and the perches are TINY
so she only just fits... Not to mention it's unstable as heck because
the base is far too small for it and our ceiling isn't even enough to
make the screw-in-top sit firmly - Silly and Tessie were exploring it
and Tessie tried to bound up it like she did the old one, and she
shook it right loose from the ceiling! Fortunately it rocked and went
back into place without actually falling over, but they both got the
fright of their lives (and so did I because I was watching at the
time!)

Karen, I got to thinking about this... would it be possible for you to buy
a large square piece of plywood and screw that into the bottom of your cat
tree - that would give it a larger base and make it less likely to tip
(you'd have to get some rather thick plywood so it's heavy enough to
stabilize it)? Other than that, all I can think of is to make sure you
anchor it into a wall or ceiling stud.
