EDIT: IT WAS 280$, I AM SCREAMING
first of all, I’m just typing this post with my toes for the sole purpose of informing you about my experience with one particular cat tree
first of all: my starter experience with cat trees prior was:
- had never had cats
- had never had furniture dedicated to other species
- never bought a cat tree
- complete shock at sticker price for both ugly and aesthetic cat trees
so for a whopping 280$ I bought the only aesthetic tree I could find under 300$ with somewhat decent ratings.
my purchasing experience:
- legit the branch arrived looking like some form of mildew on it and a crack in the base of the branch
- they replaced the crack branch for free
- I bought it on amazon as I have done for…many things that I wouldn’t want to suffer through carrying on a train
- no, this is not an affiliate link, and I will still feel about as poor as a pasta-for-weeks fresh grad if you use this link
how my cats reacted:
- very excited about the sisal portion of the branch
- a class war was started based on whoever happened to be sitting at the top
- there was at best, mild interest in the fluffy dangle ball
- the middle platform basically was unused
what was the tree like after about 3 months?
- the sisal was starting to fall off
- my cats started using the middle platform
- it started getting a tad wobbly [as of month 2]
what does it look like now? (month 7)
- visually: better than other cat trees
- does not look like 300 bux — I’m not sure it looks like 100 bucks
