Hiya just a shot in the dark. I'm looking to buy a cat tree and wondered if anyone had one they no longer wanted? Feel a bit cheeky but you don't get if you don't ask. I am willing to pay !:oops:

Just wondering and dont mean to be nosey but a) have you tried ebay? b) How big and how much are you prepared to spend? Zooplus has a good selection at very reasonable prices.

Yes I have tried ebay and I also been on petsupermarket seen some that I like and willing to pay full wack. I just thought knowing my cats, some things in the past that I have brought them haven't been a sucess. Which has mean't the item has just stood about for yonks, so I have in the past offered my bits like this to friends. Thought this might be the case and would save someone having a cat tree hanging around and me a few pennies. I will try zooplus thankyou. The post also adds to the post a day objective set to improve attendance of catsey. :-) Sorry if my previous post seemed rude. Also not that big just not a tiny one (not that; that helps much lol)

I have through out the years bought many posts and beds that the cats have never used etc and always end up posting them to my good friend Dawn who does independant cat rescue.
Last year though, I invested in a russel hardy cat scratcher/bed thingy. It cost me £85 and came read assembled. The cats LOVE it and so do I.

That looks gorgeous but I don't think Sheldon will allow me to spend that much but I will show him the post. He is encharge of my money as 'I spend to much on the cats.

They are expensive but its gonna last years, unlike the one i got from Lidles for £25, its so unstable that we had to bolt it to the wall:? .
I know of many people who have bought from zooplus at very reasonable prices and are very happy with them.

I have a nice one which was really cheap - from Lidl. It was £20. They occasionally have pet offers on & sell them then. here it is. Look out for them at Lidl.

I wonder if frans is any good.

It's obviously not as good quality as other makes, but it is very stable & the cats love it.

With mine, the threads split during assembly which made the top half very wobbly and unstable so Graham bolted the whole thing to the wall so that it didnt come crashing down ontop of dear old Winston.

I have one from this range too Elaine. I love it and so do the cats/kittens and it is sooo sturdy and is standing the test of time. I did get a Lidl one but it really did not survive very long and has now been relegated to the stud run as it looks so shabby :?

I got mine from a link Charlie put up, which I cannot find, it was made for me, and is completely made from wood, with some rope round the uprights....My lot are vandals and ordinary ones lasted about a month!!! I have had this one for almost a year and its still as good as new...

I was going to post about Zooplus. I have one from them, it is excellent, so reasonable and has lasted years. Sometimes there are 3 cats on it at once! they love it! As Dawn says, the service is excellent too, can't praise them enough.
