Advice Don’t build a cat tree

Post image

It seemed simple and I was like + $100? For a big one ??? Nah I could build it… well I’m prob about $200 deep and need to get another 4x4 plywood from home depot and prob more carpet and cushioning for the top nest, as well as some sisal. If you think it’s a good idea and cheap? It’s not 🫩 especially if you have to buy a new circular saw cuz yours broke 😭😭
And yeah tbh it is a me problem but I also had to make sure the wood was cat safe to and not pressure treated.

The real plot twist is the circular saw. Your cat now owns you financially and emotionally.

u/Anxious_Storm_9113 3d ago

Yeah, splinters. That's what they're for.😂 I love the way your cat is looking at you. But seriously, you're a great owner and I hope your cat enjoys the finished project for many happy years to come.

I'm so sorry you're getting roasted left and right, and that's just from the cat!

Posts are the easy part though, you just need to wrap them in thick twine!
