Cat Tree's for a Beast

[BoredNerd]

I have a Bengal and he's grown into a little monster. He must weigh close to 17lbs, and he's lean.

This presents the little indoor lad with a problem. He loves to climb and swing about, but there's very few cat trees in the likes of Pets and Home that'll be suitable. And their larger ones seem very expensive.

Also, scouting around Amazon and the likes, it's difficult to gauge quality.

So, PH being known for the, you know, finer things in life; where's the place to look for a cat tree that'll be suitable for a great big Bengal and not look too nasty in the front room?

Ta,

Not a tree, but IIRC there was a link to these recently:

Unfortunately 'large and quality' don't usually come cheap!
What's your definition of expensive - as in what sort of price are you thinking?

How practical/creative are you, because there are loads of custom ideas on pinterest.

Have a look on Zooplus, have had a couple of large cat trees from them and quality is very good. Both trees have survived the two 5.8kg & 6.3kg part Norwegian Forest cat that used to live here. The only part to need repair was the bit of fur on the top.

Cheers for the input!

I'm not handy at all, but could give it a look.

Budget could be a couple hundred quid?

Friend of mine has had one for 2 years and has 3 Bengals that leap all over it on a daily basis. I bought one for my cat and he hates it. That'll teach me to spend £200 on a scratching post I'm open to reasonable offers

These seem to be getting good reviews, so I've given it a try;

He's also a very lazy lad.

I've got a Bengal and am in the process of making one of these to go round a doorway. I've bought some rope/twine, am going to add some shelving (probably Ikea stuff possibly boxes with hinged lids so can also be used as storage as well as jumping ledges) Should hopefully have some fruit tree cut for me this week.

Got creative and made this floor to ceiling post for my bedroom. Under £10 and a couple of hours work. Fixed with corner braces and on a section of mat. Top section painted in magnetic paint as Lebowski likes to knock off fridge magnets. Farm Shop are going to save me some wooden crates to fix at the side for bed/storage/stepping shelves. He likes it!

I tried various things to keep our two Bengals happy, I ended up with the tallest off the shelf cat tree....and when they got bored of that I added a couple of cliff hangar shelves (I had to add the post when they got too big and heavy - currently a combined 18kg!!)
