I just got a new kitten a month ago, and was put off by the shoddy craftsmanship of pet store trees. I had some Lowe’s gift cards and decided to go overboard on building one myself. I’m not a pro woodworker by any means and there’s a lot I could’ve done better but I think it turned out pretty good. Don’t have many people to share it with but I figured this is a good place to.

Ser Duncan definitely seems to enjoy it 🐈‍⬛

Made out of 3/4" plywood and 2x4. Sits 60" high and is 24"x24". With the platforms set at 15" spacing should still be usable as my kitties age.

I built a cat tree for my gf. She has a 9kg cat so I want to make sure it is stable. How can I make sure it’s secure?

Over a 6 year period, I made this cat tree for my cat Kaylee!

We’ve had this tree for ages; my husband commissioned it from a local tree maker for $600. It’s nine feet tall, sturdy enough to support a human, and has been appreciated by a variety of cats over the years.

Hey everyone from the cat tree community!

Wanted to share my latest handmade cat tree build. I was tired of the carpet-covered MDF trees, so I wanted to make something that is actually furniture and lasts a lifetime.

This one is inspired by a real tree branch design.

Specs / Details:

• Total Height: 58 inches • Material: 100% Solid Indian Rosewood (Sheesham) - No MDF, no plywood. Matte natural finish to show the real wood grains. • Base: 25 inch solid and heavy base, so no wobbling/tipping • Platforms: ◦ Top platform: 18 inch ◦ Middle platform: 16 inch ◦ Lower platform: 14 inch ◦ + 1 Acrylic glass bowl (my cats' favorite spot) ◦ + 1 hidden cave / condo at the bottom in the base • Weight: The tree itself is ∼31 KG super solid. • Capacity: Tested for up to 20 KG, so easily holds 2 cats or one big boy. • Other features: Sisal scratching post, washable cream cushions on all platforms. • Assembly: Best part - No tools needed! You can assemble and disassemble it in under 2 minutes. Perfect for cleaning or moving.

It's completely handmade. The wood grains you see are 100% natural.

I am currently taking small batch orders as each piece takes time to make by hand. If anyone is interested in getting one or wants more videos/photos, feel free to DM me!

Would love to get your honest feedback on the design. Would you add anything else to it?

Hi fellow cat tree lovers !

I'm a cat owner in Oregon and have been experimenting with a modular wall-climbing system for my cats.

One thing I've struggled with is that once shelves are installed, changing the layout usually means drilling more holes.

For those who have wall-mounted cat furniture:

• What do you like about your current setup?

• What do you dislike?

• Have you ever wanted to rearrange it after installation?

I also put together a short survey for anyone willing to provide more detailed feedback: https://forms.gle/gLTPTXe8hUch4HQu8

Thank you so much for any feedback on this !

Probably the most active I've been all week lol. Took me a full hour to put together, and some of the joints needed some real muscle work—but the quality's actually pretty solid. The woven material feels super nice and breathable, and the clear capsule doesn't feel cheap at all. I put my cat up there and now he's in full watch-tower mode: just sitting still, judging the whole living room. Let's see how it handles his claws. I'll update in a few weeks!

long story short after getting our third cat the red little Abyssinian Vladimir, my girlfriends allergies flaired up severely and we were getting to a pretty bad place including considering rehoming them and other crazy options... so we decided to segregate our house and gave them our bedroom moving all the cat stuff around the apartment into here... anyways I decided to go a bit crazy and give them a cat room/jungle of their own and keep the allergens at bay meanwhile! it has been such a success and the cat room DIY is ongoing... roughly 70% done ish 😁 oooh plus plenty of cat tax to be spotted

My sister in law gave me this cat tree to do with it what I please, and I just went for it. Even though my fingers are killing me, it was totally worth it! I'm freaking obsessed with how it came out and my kitties are all going to love having another place to slumber🤗 Exhibit A: here's my new baby, Charlie Murphy, currently enjoying the fruits of my labor.

I just purchased this x large cat tree..my cats love it!

Meet Princess, Kitty, and Penny!

They love playing on their cat trees!

Princess and Kitty sleep in all the beds on the trees!

All 3 girls are rescues and kept indoors!

So after visiting a local cat cafe last week and seeing how much the kitties loved their trees, I ordered a big one from Amazon.

Took 2 hours to put together (I was a bit slow as I’m recovering from surgery)

My boy cat, Bob, hasn’t even looked at it, but my little girl, Jinx LOVES it.

She’s currently sleeping in the little ‘nest’ section, and keeps making contented chirruping noises. So damn cute! ❤️

I’ve got three amazing cats, and my girlfriend and I are pretty nerdy so I decided on a LOTR theme for the new cat tree. Let me know what you think!

Hi everyone! 👋

I’d love to get some honest feedback from cat owners on this cat tree I made.

🐱 Completely handmade

🌳 Solid Indian Rosewood (Sheesham)

🪵 No MDF or particle board

✋ Handmade and hand-finished

🛋️ Designed to look more like a piece of furniture than a typical carpet-covered cat tree

I’m particularly interested in your honest opinion on the design, appearance, stability and comfort for cats.

What do you think this would be worth?

If you were buying something like this, what price would you consider fair in USD?

Please be honest—even if you think the price should be lower. I’m trying to understand what cat owners would actually be willing to pay for a handmade solid-wood cat tree.

Thanks! 🐈

The highest cat tree in town! It was a previously inaccessible platform.

Everyone has a spot

Hey everyone! I posted a couple weeks ago asking for help stabilizing a cat tree and I read everyone’s post. I am terrible at responding to comments lol but I was able to finish it and deliver. Here is the updated and completed project (including kitty tax). Thanks to all who gave advice, my gf and her cats love it! 😊
