This is the project Jim and I have been working on in our spare time (he.he.) As you can see Sammi has taken to it and is enjoying his very own real estate.

What a beautiful place for the cats to 'hang out' or of course mainly sleep. You and Jim have done a wonderful job on their new sleeping quarters. Your cats are very spoiled! Love Chris

What a great playground for the cats. Thank goodness you have Sammi as both construction boss and quality control. And I see the new mats you made too. Sammi looks beautiful on the colorful mat.

UPDATE: So far Sammi is the only one using it........boo hoo......I think as soon as Andi takes their old one (which is in the kitchen now) that they may use it.......they think the one in the kitchen is staying and they have been using it like crazy..........Andi comes today to trim nails and groom, so it will go home with her for her cats....everything gets recycled around here!!

This looks like simple wood boxes, but the boxes are made from strips of poplar plywood. The four sides of these boxes are made from 10 separate strips of wood all glued together. Each strip offset so they fit together like fingers. The post is also made of four pieces of wood beveled so they come together with 4 equal angles and making a hollow box. The sea grass was then adhered to the post as well as on 2 horizontal surfaces. The unit stands about 47 1/2 inches high. Narrated by Jim

Love your kitty condos. Not saying they're spoiled, they just have well trained parents.

you just need to hide a kitty treat under the blanket and they will move right in.

I put catnip on the seagrass and that attracted attention.....so far, Sammi is the only one claiming it.....

Is this a motel or a hotel? That is the question. Kay

Looks like Sammi is the new owner of the penthouse apartment in this new cat high rise tower.Love to see a photo ,when it is fully occupied.
If the cats are silly enough not to use it ,I'm sure you could fill it with your threads,fabrics etc.

The problem is that the ferals are always so apprehensive about something new......I think the more they see Sammi using it the more they may feel inclined to use it, so it may be awhile before all the units are "rented"...

Good for you, you have given me an idea for my four cats, I like the scratching post part. I must show my daughter what you have done and see if she can come up with a plan. Hugs Maureen
