$675 for a new cat tree? Cool as it may be.....

life-like cat tree

Can't I just go to Golden Gate Park and pick up a tree limb, wouldn't she love that, too?

Or, since GD is nearly done with the closet project, got some spare time before the new guest arrives?

Get this one instead. It's a little over $200.

Our cat never shows the slightest interest in things like this. At least not cheap ones, which makes us to cautious to try a big fancy expensive one that might be too her recreational liking.

That's expensive!

Heck, to make it, just grab a good solid branch, then drill some holes and attach some silk greenery with hot glue.

Then, buy some thick wooden photo frames, remove the glass, and add upholstery fabric or berber carpet pieces.

Attach the frames to the branch, using screws and some small wooden pieces for support.

Voila! "Realistic" cat tree for a fraction of the price.

I notice shipping to California is over $300.00, so that darn thing costs over a grand!

I like Disneyphile's idea. We got ours by sheer luck, though- it would have been $150, but Rose got it from work for free.

Or just introduce the cats to the couch. It's what ends up happening in our house at least.

(Question 2, specifically)

We had a scratching post for Pigeon, but she preferred the couch also.

Thinking about the "tree" I saw at P&P this weekend...

for that much shipping it'd be easier to buy the damn thing a seat on a bus
