It is, there's 12+kg of cat on it and it just doesn't move, if I can get the other one (add another 5.5kg ) out of the bathroom sink I'll see if it's still as stable, the normal sized cat isn't interested in it in the slightest

Oooo I love it, yes, where did you get it made?  I need something to satisfy the kitten's climbing urges in the house in order to save my curtains and wallpaper.  He climbs brick and block walls outside - another characteristic of a Maine Coon apparently.  The scratching post he has now is double length but with his increasing weight he does a good impression of the cat in 'The Goodies' intro whenever he launches at it!

(Please do not post prices on the forum, needless to say "if you have to ask - you can't afford it")

Worth every penny however, it's wicker & solid oak

If you end up getting one mention my name, I've got the bigger base with an extra hole for future expansion

(Thinks - now what to do with that tricky third hole  ???)

Just checked out website. I love the outdoor tower but the cats are going to have to 'make do' with the trees.  I may have to put an indoor tower on my Christmas list though and 'Santa' may have to get his own tools at the ready! ;D

Looks great  :thumbsup:

We had one years ago, while Cassius was alive. It was HIS tower; he used to sit on the top landing is survey his territory. Dan christened the tower Bar a Dur and said he was like Sauron  :)

I know they're expensive but I've been covetting one for ages, it's been on my wish list for a couple of years and now I've got the big cats it's become a "necessity" honest....

Mammyshaz, frodo can come round whenever he likes, the girls just need an hour or so to do their hair and sharpen their nails

Blue Peter must have made one in the past, kitchen roll tubes, tupperware dishes ..... anyone need any bits and pieces I've got shed loads, my 10 year old boy's an inventor, I'll get him on to it immediately.
