I say this offered on Groupon and thought I'd treat the cats as I got paid a bit extra this month. It took about an hour to put together and they LOVE it!! Ok - it's, er, rather large... but this is ok, right?!

My mums indoor Ragdoll has trees/beds / toys in every room and barely uses any of them ( miserable git) - yours look like they're having a great time !

There's having their own space and permitting a paw printed multi storey monstrosity into your lovely aesthetic living space Grin

gamerchick · 23/05/2015 17:12

Christ if you think that's bad you should see mine. There was nearly an unfortunate incident with ceiling Christmas decorations last year because she was face to face with them Wink

It doesn't matter how things look when it comes to keeping your animals happy and anyway there are cattification stuff out there that will suit even the most proud of how their house looks bods.

I'd love one of these, my youngest especially would enjoy it, but sadly I have limited space. I think you've got a bargain and I love the pictureGrin

CtrlAltDelicious · 23/05/2015 17:45

I'm glad the consensus is that it was a sensible purchase! Grin
FatAli It's actually in my living room...! Blush I really wanted it somewhere I could watch them use it and I don't have much furniture and it's a big room.... It definitely doesn't dominate the whole room....

They love it and you love watching them love it.

What's spare money supposed to be for? To give pleasure to you and those you love.

Sounds like an excellent £47 worth to me.

Of course it wasn't 'sensible', that's what makes it fab Grin

You'll all get years of pleasure from it, tell the piss-takers to do one Flowers

I have something similar in the bathroom, got it for their Christmas present and my two love it. I'd love something similar for me!

BeaufortBelle · 23/05/2015 19:03

You're not a prat. I think mine should have one. You do have good looking cats though Grin

RubbishMantra · 23/05/2015 19:38

Ooh, just a thought Ctrl, make sure the screws are checked now and again, to see if they need tightening. I had one when I was in my last house, and it ended up swaying back and forth alarmingly every time The Creature leaped on it.

Donthate · 23/05/2015 19:44

Well it's not my cup of tea and if I came round to your house I would be a bit Confused but it's your house so nobody else's business.

CtrlAltDelicious · 23/05/2015 20:09

Thanks for the tip about the screws. I put it together myself so it could well fall apart at any moment... gamerchick is your really as tall as the ceiling?? Grin
Donthate I do appreciate it's not everyone's cup of tea. (My friends expressed that less delicately than you!) But I live alone so it shouldn't piss anyone off too badly.

It's huge!! But I'm the prat that spent £45 on a cat bed which has been used no more than 5 times.....

I have the same one but mine is cream no paw prints. My two absolutely love it and it gets used all the time. Def thumbs up from me

gamerchick · 23/05/2015 22:13

Not quite but she does try to walk
Along the curtain rail.

I would post it but it would out me but the closest I can find is this one except it has no ramps and everything is round. Ruddy big thing it is.

You're obviously a very kind cat owner, OP.

I'm just anal!

midnightvelvet01 · 24/05/2015 10:37

I have one of these! Bought it from Amazon, mine is beige with no paw prints on :)

They are fab, I've had to replace the twine as the bugger scratched it all off but my girl is an indoor cat so I thought she needed somewhere to get where the kids can't reach her!

Germgirl · 24/05/2015 15:29

I've just bought the Felix one (the medium sized one) in grey. Hopefully the cat will like it :)

QueenFuri · 24/05/2015 15:52

I have this one! Well the cat does in brown, she enjoys sitting on it to get a better view of the dog so she can launch herself at him or just to sleep on it. She has never used the boxes I keep her toys in them!! It is a bit big and in the way mind you.

QueenFuri · 24/05/2015 15:53

Although mine was cheaper on eBay 39.99 including delivery.

Germgirl · 29/05/2015 13:50

It arrived! Here's idiot cat in it. He seems to like it :)
