These are great. I recently priced cat trees in the pet store and they are a fortune. I'd love to make the one with branches. Functional AND pretty.

I live near the ocean and we gather big chunks of driftwood and let it dry and use them for our cat trees. I have one that I have had for over 20 years and they still haven't made a real dent in the posts!
