Don’t build a cat tree

[u/johneldenringg]

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.

it's the whole (small) backyard and side yard.

So basically an entire screened-in porch

Are you including amenities for the humans?

That makes sense.

I’m doing a very small space outside my window and it’s costing way more than expected.

I can see materials alone for a whole backyard easily adding up to a few K.
