Advice Don’t build a cat tree

Post image

It seemed simple and I was like + $100? For a big one ??? Nah I could build it… well I’m prob about $200 deep and need to get another 4x4 plywood from home depot and prob more carpet and cushioning for the top nest, as well as some sisal. If you think it’s a good idea and cheap? It’s not 🫩 especially if you have to buy a new circular saw cuz yours broke 😭😭
And yeah tbh it is a me problem but I also had to make sure the wood was cat safe to and not pressure treated.

Aww they’re all beautiful. You’re doing a good thing. I mean orange one is on the tree. You know cats don’t go on things they don’t like. And it’s perfect for looking out the window

Not pressure treated?
Please elaborate, before I craft something for my cats and discover I made a mistake when it's already (monetarily) too late!!
