If you are looking for some modern, hip cat climbing trees, then you might be interested in checking out DKcat.
Cat Climbing Trees
The neat thing about DKcat's trees is that they can also be great cat perches if you kitty simply likes to alleviated.

Cat window perchesDKcat's Platform C Cat Tree is not only eco-friendly, but it is also kitty friendly.  It comes in four different color schemes, they are made to be window sill height (so they make excellent cat window perches too - that is, when you put them up next to a window) and there are two kinds of sisal rope to ensure the longevity of the scratching pole.

One of the great things about letting your kitty see outside is that they can not only observe everything that is going on outside - which keeps them entertained on those days where you are gone all day - but also it allows them to soak up the rays of the sun, which all kitties love to do!

Some other benefits of DKcat's Platform C:
  • Carpet tile - recycled content, low VOCs, is replaceable, recyclable and cleanable
  • Bamboo Plywood Structure - it's strong and renewable resource and formaldehyde free
  • Reclaimed wood posts are collected from a local salvage yard.

What's The Best Cat Scratching Pole?

Saturday, June 19, 2010 by Jenny Dean

best cat scratching poleOf course, I can only answer this based on the products that I have tried.  And hands down, Murphy, Caymus, Charlie and Trigg all think that the TopCat Scratching Post is the best scratching post. 

I love that it is not constructed with carpet.  The problem with carpet scratching posts is that when your kitty scratches on them, they come to discover that carpet is an acceptable material to scratch their nails on, which is not the case!

Sisal Cat Scratching Posts are ideal not only because of their durability but also because cats are attracted to the feel of the sisal on their paws and therefore are more inclined to use it.  They are also more inclined to use it because it is on a pole or post rather than on the floor - being a pole helps it mimic a tree.  And if you've ever watched Animal Planet when they feature the lions, then you have seen how even lions get on their hind legs to sharpen their nails on a tree!
