Which one will it be..... Choosing the cat tree

[Rafiki]

Ah.....just found it....the Kitty Mansion one does not have a frame. The support is only those cardboard tubes. I think your cats will kill it even quicker than the last one!

When I was looking for cat trees, I looked for the following:
Large base - about 1/2 the height dimension for sturdiness
Wood or Manufactured wood construction
Large platforms that can accomodate both cats because Rafiki won't leave Jammu alone
Bottom heavy - no large things up on top so the center of gravity remains low

All of my trees definitely rock when they are hit but all have survived after >1-1/2 years and none have toppled.

Thank you! And I just saw this one opinions? http://m.samsclub.com/ip/majestic-pet-bungalow-cat-tree-47-/prod15290127

I'm going to look for something that fits your criteria however

Ok scratch the last one bad reviews. Here's a question.. What do you mean no frame?

I picked up one from petsmart online, and have been really happy with it.

has a large foot print, and 19 lb Sampson can go at it and tree barely wiggles. Spot loves to hide in the condo unit, thinks I can't find her there.

Do you remember the brand?

I think I have temporarily decided on this one. It would work perfectly in front of that window in the corner of my room


Also what is the Goliath of an animal in the cage next to the tree?

We have some plywood and spare carpet so I'm going to make an extended base for it and anchor to wall a bit. Also I beleive reinforcing the posts with twine (wrapping each post to a linked piece of twine at the top middle and near bottom) will also help if there is any wobble. I was looking at this one and another one and Loki put his paws on this one when I asked him. not sure if coincexence but good enough for me

Eddie has 2 that are actually screwed to the floor but then I own the floor...

 

[Bekki]

I do not own the floor or else I totally would. You can't beat that lol

That looks like an excellent choice, if you have it in a corner, it should be pretty stable. Think a single wall anchor into the corner will be more than sufficient, unless you have and f1 or 2, that is.

My space for the tree was very dimensionally challenging, needed to still be able to open the patio door, high as possible, and still be able to walk around the bed.
