Our latest home project has been this six-foot +natural wood cat tree made for our youngest daughter's cat, Dandelion. The cat is a Maine Coon mix, so it loves to climb and play, which is fun to watch- as long as it doesn't destroy any furniture. This is just a simple snapshot, but the tree's reception has been overwhelmingly favorable (by both the family and Dandelion).
The entire cat tree is made from all natural wood. I even used wooden posts to assemble it so the tree can disassemble easily enough to make moving it more simple. The shelves can be made of any size in order to fit any size cat, or cats, and the main post can be of any height as well.
I had some drying time involved before I began sanding, however the tree was mostly dry prior to the construction. I sanded the center wood post after it was dry and then bored the holes used for the posts' assembly. At the bottom you can see I used a half piece of lumber because I knew this particular cat tree would be going up against a wall. Although it's stable, a cat tree which is not going to be used against a wall would need to have a completely round wheel of wood at the base for safety reasons.
All products used in the construction of the cat tree are safe for pets. If you're interested in a custom-made cat tree and would like more information, please email:
