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.

Might want to replace this board. That split will definitely be an issue down the road.

I reckon they could tightly wrap twine around it (and glue it down) to give the cat a scratching/ climbing post

That's actually a really good idea. You should be the one building a cat tree lol.
