4. Great kitties

All my rescue dogs and cats got a present. Thanks for the pictures!

[angstlessk]

5. WOW! at first I thought it was just the boxes

and as I scrolled down I wondered what those tubes were...then I saw the building of a great kitty hidaway/tree... I am sure they loved Christmas...

[Warpy]

6. Usually the ungrateful wretches are more fascinated with the box than the contents

but I can see that's not the case so far.

Plant that tree in front of a window and it will always have at least one cat on it.

[Garion_55]

9. black kitty decided she likes the box it came in better lol

[MFM008]

10. lol

exactly. I dont buy anything for my cat because he will play with boxes, bags, dust bunnies..... he especially loves garbage bag ties...all cheap.

7. Wonderful! May they have so many happy hours in their new castle.

Looks like they loved it at first sight.

Love the great fuzzy stairway to hebbin.

What a great idea for lots of great cat adventures. Be sure to stand nonchalantly near the structure to allow them to reach out and tap your head or shoulder.

11. Squee!

[Skittles]

12. I was sure the last pic would show them back in the boxes

yes INDEED

[Morwen_Madrigal]

16. Kittehs get a new world!

[WilliamPitt]

17. For the Win.

[dionysus]

18. ooooooh.. kitteh castle....

[ailsagirl]

19. Nice castle!

Not to be impertinent... was it reasonably priced? (I may want to get one for my four)

[meti57b]

20. Where did you get it? ......................

It looks like it breaks down into small pieces, which saves having to transport a big cat-tree.

[Garion_55]

21. I bought this from here...

http://www.hayneedle.com/pets/cat-scratching-posts_list_185589?CFID=2192523&CFTOKEN=94474780

after christmas they lowered the price like 1/3 and free shipping. totally worth it. the petsmart down the street has one for 100 and its half the size and not even as nice as this. took about an hour to put together. they give ya all the tools.

[CatWoman]

22. great minds

I ordered a new one for mine, and it was delivered yesterday. I'll put it up next weekend

[brewens]

23. I could go for one of those. What my new kitty does with her single scratching post is

crazy! I call it the cat dancing pole! I tied a toy mouse to it. One of those that has the pull string that vibrates. Those are pretty much worthless unless you hang them up somewhere. Then cats love playing with them. The pull on it and it snaps back when the let go and buzz.

[CatWoman]

30. ha!!

I've bought four of these in the past year.

The key is to purchase only Amerikat cat trees - the rest are junk and are demolished easily.

I tried the cheap ones, and had to go back to Amerikat.

[brewens]

43. I'll go find and save their website so I don't forget. Silver is a female about six months old.

I don't think she will be a very big cat but she really gets rough with things. She's on top, upside down, circling around the post like a squirrle tearing up that mouse! So far that, a box and a lazer light seem to be all I need to keep her wound up and having fun!

[CatWoman]

46. get them off Ebay, you can get them with free shipping

[bullwinkle428]

36. My ex and I got that exact model about 10 years ago, and I'm

pretty sure she's continuing to use that one with her kitties today! It was really well-made.

[a kennedy]

24. Best present EVER!!

[840high]

26. Want.

[catbyte]

27. Wow! Lucky guys. Where did you get it?

My beasties would love that.

[Garion_55]

29. hayneedle.com

[catbyte]

48. Thanks!

[sabbat hunter]

28. for a minute there

I thought the box was the present. You know how kitties love boxes.

But it looks like they have taken to the cat tree very quickly

[oldandhappy]

31. Excellent!

Very Cool. Your kitties are lucky and obviously happy, smile.

[niyad]

32. wayyyyy cool!!! thank you so much for sharing this. you are a most excellent kitteh parent.

[Skip Intro]

33. If you don't mind, how much was it?

My cat is looking over my shoulder and being demanding.

[Garion_55]

40. it was about 120 bucks free shipping!

my cats are in kitty heaven lol

[madinmaryland]

34. We have the same exact tree, except for the color!

[calimary]

35. I love how so many cats go directly to "loaves" mode.

Your orange and white tabby is in the "kitty-loaf" position.

[Paula Sims]

37. You are now on my naughty list. . .

. . .but kitties will love you!

Book marked it and am looking at getting this http://www.hayneedle.com/product/trixiepetproductsnatanieladjustablecattree.cfm

As long as it's returnable, don't think hubby will have a problem with it. Just have to make sure it "goes" with the furniture because I have a feeling it'll be with us for a long long time!

Thanks so much.

38. Your catz sez

WTF took u so long? Dumb oooman.

[Liberal_in_LA]

39. spoiled'cats

[Politicalboi]

41. I bought the same one for my kittys

And they hardly use it. We also moved to a new place, and that's where they first had contact with it. I have been really disappointed that they don't take any interest in it. Perhaps with more time. Sometimes they sleep on it. Maybe the boxes remind them too much of the kitty carrier they came over in. LOL!

42. had the same problem with a climb tree awhile back..

cats had no interest. We ended up wrapping the entire thing with brown kraft paper (butcher's paper) and left a small opening at the bottom and cut a couple X-slits here and there for peekaboos... and lo and behold, it was suddenly the most interesting place in the world. Over time, we slowly pulled some of the paper back and in time it has all been removed. (over about a month)

Not that it will work for ya, but was fun for us to discover a solution.

[ryan_cats]

44. They got two toys

It looks like they got two toys, the box and the cat condo.
Whenever we get a new cat condo, they destroy the dangling toys the first day, then they work on the rest of it.

That's a nice one, about how much was it?

Beautiful cats too.

[DinahMoeHum]

45. Nice photobomb of the toilet in the first pic. . .

But seriously, your furry purry pals should rub up against you and purr contentedly in thanks for this new addition to the house. Leave the boxes around, if you can; they l-o-v-e playing in those too.

[Randomthought]

47. Mine have the same one in beige

I got it from Overstock. They absolutely love it!
