Our New Jungle Gym
"outsider" wrote in message
... I hope those window valances are strong. Yep, they're nailed down pretty good. I also like this jungle gym because it's very well made, and it's very sturdy. Besides anchoring one end in the ceiling, the pieces are heavy enough that they don't tip over even when Ozzy (13 pounds) comes running full tilt across the great room and hits the tree about mid-way up, followed by Archer (12 pounds) running after him and hitting the same spot that Ozzy was in - then both boys scampering/climbing to the top when Sammy (20 pounds) comes running after them both and hits the same spot. All of them, including 7.5 pounds Jessie), can run, jump and climb all across the top of it without it tilting over (Demi doesn't get that rambunctious, but she can lay in the sun in her soft hammock *almost* undisturbed while the rest scramble around her). Hugs, CatNipped It looks great. I have a smaller unit which has 1 hammock and after almost a year the brothers are just checking it out. One of them climbed in for a few seconds but they have not commited to it yet. If those valances have tops maybe one of your crew will take a snooze up there and that would be a great picture. Andy No, they don't have tops - they're just a "U" type configuration, but Jessie has walked across one, balancing like a tight-rope walker. Jessie and Ozzy in particular love this tree - their previous favorite spot was the top of the refrigerator, but this perch is higher than that! Hugs, CatNipped |

No, they're not spoiled - much!!! ; http://www.possibleplaces.com/CatNipped/Tree/ Nice pictures, but one of those cats is really weird looking -- the white one with the floppy black ears. :-) How much did that jungle gym set you back, if you don't mind my asking? -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com Shikata ga nai... |

Hey CatNipped... I saw the pics of your new Jungle Gym, looks great! I read in one frame where you mentioned a temporary clock you need to replace... the link below will take you to a clock site that has the absolute *purrfect* clock for you! For any cat lover really, but I think it would fit well in that room... they come in many colors, but you may have to locate it where the clowder can't swat it! http://www.kit-cat.com/ Enjoy |

We ordered it on Thursday morning and it came via FedEx on Saturday morning - not bad for two huges boxes that weighed over 130 pounds!

"CatNipped" wrote Thanks! BTW, it's been a while since I've seen pictures of your two - you're slacking girlfriend! ; It's true! I will have to work on that! Re the jungle gym - I know you have a large house too, so in case you're interested... I was really surprised at how little it cost (relatively, anyway, compared to much smaller, more cheaply made cat trees). We got it on eBay (a "buy now", not a bid) for $289 (you can bid on it too, but that ends up being more because then they charge you for shipping). We had to pay taxes because we're in Texas as is the dealer, so it came to $312 - but that included free overnight FedEx shipping (yay, we didn't have to go pick up those two large, heavy boxes at the post office!). We bought it online on Thursday morning and it arrived Saturday morning! You're so smart, I wanted to know how much but thought it would be rude to ask. I think your price, with shipping, seems fair. I would pay as much as $500 for this. It's really cool. |

But it's really sturdy and well made - pressed wood, of course, but very heavy, and there are no exposed nails or staples. The bolts they used are very large diameter (1/4", I think) and long enough (about 6" deep into all the poles) to really hold the pieces together well. I can't say enough about it - I was *very* pleasantly surprised by the construction. You know if it can hold up under my over-sized, rambunctious clowder it can hold up to anything! Hugs, CatNipped |

Sammi is a BIG cat. Is she a Maine Coon? Although Big Red is
bigger he weighs in at nearly 25 pounds, but he's also overweight. "CatNipped" wrote in message ... This is the new "toy" we got the clowder.
