Recently, someone had posted on half priced cat trees with low shipping. I couldn’t resist.

Unfortunately, the tree is rather wobbly, even with some of my old hand weights on the base. That is probably one of my biggest gripes with trees. I don’t know if it’s just because the boys are relatively large, or what, but I have yet to find a reasonably priced tree that’s really sturdy enough for them.

They don’t use it much. I train them on it, which usually makes them more willing to use something. I also leave toys hidden inside the basket and the middle portion. I know they sometimes use it during the night, because the toys will sometimes be on the floor when I get up in the morning.

I’ve yet to see them scratch on it, though, unless I entice them first. But we haven’t had it that long. Sometimes it takes them months before they decide to claim something. And it may be that I need to try another location.

As I’ve mentioned, we recently bought a mattress topper for our bed. It’s memory foam on one side, and a quilted microfiber topper on the other side.

Apparently the box is perfectly cat-sized. Simba thought it made a great resting place.

Simba also thinks the mattress make a comfy place to nap. He doesn’t lay there all the time. It seems he’s most interested in it when I strip the bed, and then again after I put the freshly laundered sheets back on it. The other day I almost had to make him into the bed.

It is pretty comfy. I get on there and I don’t want to move myself!
