We got a new kitten who, aside from being very active, needed a safe place to get away from the dogs. My husband and I built the cat tree with thrift store lumber, a round concrete form, remnant carpet, and a ridiculous amount of sisal rope (somewhere around 500 feet of it!). Thankfully, the kitten loves it and plays on it daily. Now, if I can just get him to understand that while it's okay to scratch his tree, it's NOT okay to scratch the nearby couch... (and now, kitten and the dogs get along famously).
