Ceiling height cat trees

FelinePrincess

Does anyone have one of these tall cat trees? I am thinking of getting one of these http://www.cattrees.co.uk/madrid-cat-tree-activity-centre.html?osCsid=3f5e33d5fdf7019314a8bc0d963a3e15 or similar for my kittens as one of them loves climbing and sleeping in high places but I wondered how stable they are? I have 2 maine coons that are full of energy and I wouldn't want any accidents!

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

You need to check the dimensions of the hammocks and dens, Maine Coons being somewhat on the hefty side!

I've seen lots of recommendations for Russell Hardy's Catscratchers on cat forums. They are expensive, but look built to last. They are sometimes sold at cat shows at a discount, though you would need a substantial vehicle to transport them!

There is also Catplay Stations which do a range of indoor cat towers, but their specialty seems to be the outdoor ones - you could fill a garden with towers, ladders and walkways!

I've heard many recommendations for Russell Hardy and Kalven as both are made from solid wood so much sturdier that most commercial cat trees. http://www.kalven.co.uk/ I'd really love one of these tho! http://hicat.co.uk/

Yeah cat trees can get pricey. But if you're any good at DIY you can save a few pounds. Lots of instructions on the net.

I have a ceiling high tree that I got from Zooplus.

It is extremely sturdy, it has two naughty Bengal adolescents and two moggies running up and down it all day long (the other moggy ignores it 95% of the time), so it has to be.

It was well worth the money invested in it. Here is a pic of it with Robbie and Friday:
