do I select the right tree for my cat(s)?
The
right cat tree for your kitty depends on its personality and lifestyle.
You are the best judge of your cat's habits. If your cat likes to sleep
in small places, choose a cat tree with enclosures like a Playbox or
Tunnel. if your cat does not care for cozy spaces, chose a unit with
perches and other open items. If you cat likes to scratch on your furniture,
choose a model with multiple posts covered with sisal rope. and/or carpet
. If you have more than one cat, choose models with room up high for
several cats at the same time.
.
- Which
cat tree is best if I have more than one cat?
.
Our most popular
multi-cat cat tree is the Mt Blanc which provides various perches for
several cats.
.
- Can
I change one part of a cat tree for a different component?
You can exchange
one component for another very easily. This is one of the advantages
of out modular system. Do make sure that the new component can be safely
installed and still maintain the stability of the unit as a whole. You
can also request changes on existing models - for instance, we can exchange
a square box for a round box or replace it with a completely different
item.
.
- Can
my older cat climb these trees?
A model like
the Magic Kingdom makes it very easy for an older cat to get safely
climb to the top and back to the floor again. No step is higher than
12" from level to level. Every line of furniture we offer is cat
friendly.
.
- Can
my declawed cat climb these trees?
Declawed cats have no problem climbing to the top of any of our units.
.
- What
colors of cat trees do you have?
We offer all
units in black, cream, light gray, dark gray, sand (Oatmeal), beige,
Hunter green, Burgundy and dark brown - if you wish to see the color
of your cat tree before your purchase, we can send a swatch by regular
mail.
.
-
Do
you attend cat shows?
We
have representatives who attend some of the cat shows. We ourselves
do not.
.
-
Do you sell to retail stores in my area?
You can
call us and we can check if there is a retailer in your area. Of course,
purchasing directly from us is less expensive.
.
-
How
long from when I place my order do you ship the cat tree?
.
If your order is received before 11:00AM, it is shipped the same day.
Order received after 11AM are shipped the next day.
.
- My
hubby is not very handy. Are the cat trees difficult to put together?
The system we
use for assembly is very simple and requires only one tool, which is
included with each set. All posts are color coded and even the largest
units will not take longer than 30 minutes to assemble. We also have
a help line available should you need help :-).
.
-
I own a 24-pound Maine Coon cat. Are the
platforms sturdy enough and the openings big enough for my cat?
All our cat trees are built to accommodate even the heaviest
cat. You can also upgrade to large sleeper frames at no extra charge.
For bigger cats we suggest a large base or a ceiling stabilizer for
maximum stability.
.
-
How sturdy are
your trees? Will they tip over or wobble?
Our units are well constructed
and will not wobble or tip over under normal conditions.
.
- What
if our ceiling is not 8' standard for floor to ceiling units?
We can make any of the floor to ceiling models up to 12' tall and we
can also make them as low as 7' if your ceiling is less than 8'.
.
- What
if our ceiling is not flat (Cathedral type ceiling)?
We
offer a ceiling adaptor for non-flat ceilings which will adjust to any
angle. This adaptor is fastened to the ceiling with a small wood screw.
.
- I've
been told that some Sisal Rope is better than others. Is this true?
Sisal rope is
a wonderful scratching surface for cats because it is natural and extremely
durable. Sisal is a natural fiber and comes in many different sizes,
colors and twist. A high torque, pre-dried 1/4" rope is by far
the best choice for your cat. You also do not want oiled or bleached
rope for your posts and stick to a natural, untreated product.
.
- How
do I clean the cat tree?
You can machine wash and dry
the Sleepers and Hammocks. The rest of the cat tree is cleaned using
an upholstery spray or with a neutral soap and water.
.
- If
my cat chews on any part of the cat tree, will he become sick?
We do not use any toxic materials in the construction of out
cat trees. This is one of the reasons we do not use carpet remnants
which usually contain formaldehyde. The glue we use is also non-toxic.
.
- How
do I tell if a cat tree is quality-made, and if it is tip-proof and
cat-friendly?
The weight of
a unit is a good indication of its sturdiness. Our Mt Blanc, for example,
has a net weight of 104 lbs at a height of 6'. The Magic Kingdom has
a net weight of 130 lbs at a height of 6'2". The size of a base
does not necessarily mean that the unit is stable. A smaller, yet thicker
and heavier base is more stable than a thin, larger base. The heaviest
materials are being used towards the bottom of the unit and the lighter
weight items are used on the higher elevations to increase stability.
.

There
is cheaper cat furniture available. Why should I spend more to buy yours?
You get what
you pay for is a very true saying. And not all cat trees are created
equal. If you find a cheaper cat tree for sale, it most likely made
of inferior material, poorly constructed and not very safe. If you find
a post on which you can move the rope with your fingers you can only
imagine what a cat will do to that post in a very short time. Sisal
needs to be completely tight to make a scratch surface that will stand
up to years of "abuse".
A great deal of thought, quality, design ingenuity and time has been
devoted into designing the finest cat trees available. Our cat-tested
and cat-friendly designs are practical and safe for cats from kittens
through old age.
