So, as you guys might know, I hate cat trees lol anyone I have found is horribly ugly. Plus I'm not paying 500$ for something that has no play value and is made of fur nastiness. BUT my nanna found a lady that custom makes cat trees!!! So I finally got exactly what I wanted and tailed to Astrid love of heights and jumping.
Should be delivered In The next few days. Took her maybe a 1-1 1/2 week to build and best part it's only 250$. And the money goes to an actual human not some corporation which makes it even better in my opinion.
So her is the Princess's cat tower. I asked for between five five to six foot so it's massive XD. Good launch spot lol.

I'm so excited for her to get her paws on it lol

This is what I gave her to work from:

Plain and simple, just the way I wanted it lolplus size wise it won't eat up the apartment.

Looks like you are getting a nice sturdy tree! I totally understand what you mean about the workmanship and $ going to the maker. Our one tree we bought at a cat show. The vendor made all himself...15 years later yes 15 years, it is finally starting to show signs of love. I swear by trees made with actually carpeting.

That looks like an awesome tree.

And I totally concur with what @Catzzzmeow Says about real carpet on a tree.. The first tree we bought had that sort of fake fur covering,, And it did not last at all. Plus it was pretty flimsy.

Then I decided to bite the bullet and purchase four individual cat trees (each of them different),, Two of which are put together in a way that gives so much playability.. The trees that we bought are covered in real carpet, sturdy, amazing quality.

And yes, sturdiness is so important when you have monkeys for cats!

@Xandria four cat trees?! That's awesome lol

I have one in my office next to the window.. There's also one between the dining room and the kitchen where they like to perch and watch me cook or watch us eat. And then we have two together In the living room in front of the sliding glass doors; this is The tree where they spend most of their time. Other than the one in my office, they'll go up to the ceiling because… Sphynx! Monkeys :)

Can't wait to see photos of your tree. Be careful up those stairs.

@Maddie the tree is fabulous! Agreed, they can be hideous, but your one is perfect and even matches your apartment carpeting!
I've had mine about 5 years. It was a lucky find in a soft cream colour and not at all imposing in my tiny little house. They love the height and Astrid will have plenty of fun playing on it and watching the world from up high.
Great photos! She looks delighted! Go Astrid!
