Yes, you want this
I've been debating on trees for a while, but when our (former stray) cat climbed the Christmas tree again this year (and looked so sad when I took his "perch" away), I realized he really, really LIKES being high up and climbing. Since our clumsy Lynx-point Siamese also liked the look of the tree (though he couldn't figure out how Tommy climbed that artificial tree), I thought: okay...maybe we can splurge just once. Based on the reviews on Amazon, this was the tree to get, but there's a better deal at this site! So, I bought it. It came promptly, within a week, and was SO EASY to assemble (even for the incompetent like my husband and I), it was ridiculous. It feels very solid and our plus-size felines have no trouble jumping around on it. The Siamese immediately took residence in the "clubhouse" on top and Tommy jumped around him, and later discovered he could be higher than his "brother," so he went all the way to the top. Both love it. The only tip would be to just throw away the pom-pom balls immediately. Yes, the cats loved them, but they will be destroyed immediately. Better to attach something else they like (their mice or something) that is more solid. They may even like to bat at the elastic "string" just as well (ours did). Well worth the money, and we think we got a "steal" on this.
