roups.com): I'd vote for Cheryl's idea instead of the tree trunk thing. It sounds cool. Besides, I actually did haul in a tree trunk once, and it turned out to be full of live termites. I've thought about finding a tree trunk to bring in, too, but was afraid of ants. To eliminate the chance of termites, you could put the trunk on a non-dirt surface, like the driveway, for a day or two and if you see "mud tunnels" do not bring it in (termites don't live in the wood, they transport it back underground and are hard- wired to get back under). Back to the shelf thing, my plan was to put shelves on all of the walls in the downstairs family room just for the kitties. I haven't gotten that far yet. I saw a piece on HGTV where these people had a train set with the tracks built on shelves on the walls, and they had tunnels built *through* the walls so the train could go from room to room all above the floor! I thought, how cool is that! and that the cats would love something like that! -- Cheryl "The clever cat eats cheese and breathes down rat holes with baited breath." - W.C. Fields |

That sounds interesting and different. Do you have a picture of it? Which one? The old tall one with teh removable shelves, or the newer one that I got at the cat show? I can post a pic of either one. -- Meghan & the Zoo Crew Equine and Pet Photography http://www.zoocrewphoto.com |

I have a $29.99 Walmart floor-to-ceiling cat tree which I've had for 3 years now. It's still in good shape and my 15# Skipjack races up and down at full speed and scratches the living daylights out of it. I anticipated having to replace it by now, but have no need to. I've also thought about a more expensive one, but I don't see how he could enjoy one more than he enjoys this bargain one, so I'm sticking with it! I have the Walmart tree too and it's still in good condition, especially considering my cats like to run up and down it at full speed ahead. If you go to Walmart, check the top shelf where the cat stuff is and you will see them in a box. I also have another floor to ceiling cat tree that was a couple hundred bucks, but it's the $30 Walmart one that my cats like best. Lauren |
