The Cat Tree Arrives

A VERY big box arrived about 8:30 this morning containing Charlie's cat tree (aka "cat condo"). I didn't have time to unbox or assemble it before going to work, so poor Charlie had to wait until we got home tonight.

It's made of very nice material and seems quite sturdy - a good buy for around $97 (as opposed to $200-$300 in pet shops). However, the assembly was NOT at all easy, with only one diagram and very few instructions at all. It took a while, but I finally managed to build it. I even made a few slight modifications along the way.

Here's the final result - an imposing 1.7m tall in our living room! Charlie seems to like it.


She especially likes the brown furry "mouse" that dangles down from the third level, and plays with it a lot. I think it may be a little dangerous, though, and I'm thinking of taking it down. We'll see how Charlie goes with it over the next couple of days.


Charlie was super excited while I was putting the darned thing together, and then proceeded to go to sleep in several different places on the cat tree. It's nice and comfortable. Plus, we've positioned it so she can see out of the main front windows, and it's in a nice place to get the morning sun.
