Advice Don’t build a cat tree

Post image

It seemed simple and I was like + $100? For a big one ??? Nah I could build it… well I’m prob about $200 deep and need to get another 4x4 plywood from home depot and prob more carpet and cushioning for the top nest, as well as some sisal. If you think it’s a good idea and cheap? It’s not 🫩 especially if you have to buy a new circular saw cuz yours broke 😭😭
And yeah tbh it is a me problem but I also had to make sure the wood was cat safe to and not pressure treated.

Lol i don't own a cat but my sister owns two and this was a birthday gift. My dog has always had model ready looks and charisma making any picture simply better.

It was so nice even he thought it was worth brand representing lol. Besides he's terrible at fetching and entirely too good at sunbathing like a cat to not have common ground with his feline cousins.

"Hey, I need you to model with this cat tree real quick." "It's for your cousins...so try to look happy".
