My Horus and Westley would LOVE to play on this! Living in an apartment- anything that is compact is a bonus! Even though I live outside of the USA, I would be more than happy to pay the extra shipping costs!!!

Our cat Gila _loves_ to climb and is always risking life and limb to get to new high spaces in our apartment. This would be a better alternative!
October 11th, 2011 at 2:34 pm
My cats would love this! i can see them fighting over the best spot! too cool!
October 11th, 2011 at 4:47 pm
This is a wonderful compact option for kitty climbing. My cats would love to have this climber as an addition to the cat rodeo.
October 11th, 2011 at 4:57 pm
Ohh, another great wedding anniversary gift for my husband, the artist and DIY guy. And of course our two furboys, Fred and Sebastian.!! Love it!!

We are always looking for “stable” climbing and scratching items because our cats are BIG. They are all rescue ferals who are related and there was a huge b/w part maine coon in the woodpile. Our smallest is 15lbs the biggest is 25. They knock over everything, including us!

Gizzy is a climber!! I bet he would just love this . His little brother would also love to climb around on this!! Gizmo just loves to get into high places. Keeping fingers crossed on this one for sure
October 11th, 2011 at 8:24 pm
so awesoome, this is really mod!
October 12th, 2011 at 5:38 am
Not only would Sync love this, it would look great in our house. Plus you get to customize it? I’m in.

Woohoo! Big money, no whammies! Molly would love to climb that!
October 12th, 2011 at 1:36 pm
What an awesome kit. My 5 furkids would love it.
October 12th, 2011 at 8:18 pm
My 3 kitties would have a blast with this
October 13th, 2011 at 6:01 am
Maybe if we had this our cat would get a little more exercise–aside from running up the tree if he manages to scoot outside, he always seems to be curled up inside something, and his waistline is beginning to show it!
October 13th, 2011 at 6:59 am
Soo cool!
October 13th, 2011 at 7:17 am
Looks like so much fun! My cat would much appreciate this.
October 13th, 2011 at 10:38 am

My Kitty would LOVE this!
October 13th, 2011 at 1:00 pm
I love this one. Nice and compact too for those of us in weeny apts. Maybe this would keep Nemo off of the gramophone!
October 13th, 2011 at 1:40 pm
This terrific climber would make a delightful perch & play area for Sasha and Yoshi, our kitty cat house or “bed and breakfast” guests. More so, it would be an even better gift for our local rescue, Smitten with Kittens. Thank you so much for offering such a lovely climber to a lucky troupe of felines.
October 13th, 2011 at 3:48 pm
Fingers crossed for my 3 brats – I mean, sweet little furbabies
October 13th, 2011 at 8:30 pm
my cats would die for this!
October 14th, 2011 at 12:07 am
So adorable, would be purrrfect for my 2 babies!!!
October 14th, 2011 at 12:12 am
Awesome!! My 3 kitties would certainly enjoy this!
October 14th, 2011 at 10:12 am
Our cats would love this its so cute
October 14th, 2011 at 10:13 am
I love this climber, but I would have to decide whether to keep it for my own girl. Or give it to my sister who fosters for a Rescue group & currently had 9 cats living with her.
October 14th, 2011 at 10:23 am
I would love to see my kitties clambering all over this!
October 14th, 2011 at 10:24 am
This would be the perfect thing to allow my kitty to look out the windows and survey her territory
October 14th, 2011 at 10:48 am
My kitties and I would all so much appreciate this wonderful piece of entertaining kitty furniture!
October 14th, 2011 at 11:06 am
You guys make awesome cat furniture! So glad I found this site.
October 14th, 2011 at 12:54 pm
i like the red one.
October 14th, 2011 at 1:49 pm
My cat would love it and as a bonus it is a compliment to my decor.
October 14th, 2011 at 2:25 pm
My siamese kitties would enjoy this – they love to climb everything!
October 14th, 2011 at 8:13 pm
Wow! What a beautiful, elegant, modernistic cat climber/rest stop. It would look wonderful just as it is, no painting needed, and the 5 kittehs would enjoy it more than the one we have now, which is all ‘clawed out’ and does not have as many spaces for the kittehs to plop. They are praying fervently to ceiling cat.
October 15th, 2011 at 4:46 am
Purrfect cat climbing tree for my cat =) I would enjoy it, too.
October 15th, 2011 at 7:58 am
OMG! How awesome!!
October 15th, 2011 at 8:14 am
If I don’t win this, I’m totally inspired to make something similar. How cool and sleek! Looks like a DVD rack meets space ship meets perfect cat climber. Smiles for this.
October 15th, 2011 at 8:38 am
I love how it looks like a ferris wheel!
October 15th, 2011 at 10:21 am
I can’t wait to hear thre results. Love the design of these!
October 15th, 2011 at 8:13 pm
It’s a wonderful sculpture piece without the look of a blah tree. So want one. I can see my cat in the “penthouse.”
October 15th, 2011 at 8:36 pm
My Mod Kitty Slippers would love to lounge on this. She is such a devine diva kitty
October 16th, 2011 at 3:06 am

October 16th, 2011 at 8:48 am
