CUSTOMER'S CAT TREES


email a picture of your cat tree that you made using our plans to sales@CatTreePlans.com and we will post it here!

Angelita
- Victoria, Australia


Thank you for the excellent plans. I have some pictures of our cat, Angelita on her new house, during it construction she made herself at home, and now that its finished she loves it even more. I added some door hinges to the roof to make it open, and easily get out anyone hiding inside. Thanks again.
  
Daisy
- Pennsylvania


This is my 7 month old kitten named DAISY. She really enjoys her new house. Her Mom and Dad like seeing her so happy in her own place. Daisy feels like a princess in her own castle! Your plans were great showing step by step illustrations on how to build with the measurements and also a shopping list for all the materials needed to complete the cat tree. We will recommend your company and plans to all our cat friends!
  
Sammy
- Massachusetts


Sammy loves his birthday present, a few treats to get him used to it and now hes there 24-7. It only took a day to do and the directions were easy and the materials were cheap!! * I'm so glad mommy made me this!! *
  
Max
- Wisconsin


A big thanks for the plans. I received the cd yesterday but I had already finished my cat tree using the pdf file for the Mistoffolees Castle. I've attached a couple of pictures. It was a great success as my cat Max has explored every part of it and enjoys viewing the outdoors and sleeping on it. I did modify it a little. My cat loves to climb so I added a scratching/climbing post on one corner, that's was a LOT of sisal rope, and extended the top perch over to meet it. I'm very happy with how sturdy it is and of course the savings in dollars by doing it myself. I might have to make another plan now for my son's cat.
  

- California


Thanks for the help, as you can see my cats love it.
  

- Texas


The kitty won’t be born for two months, but she already has a cat tree. As others have done, I modified plan two using a tubular concrete form. Thanks for the great plans!!! They made construction a snap!
  
Pie and Piper
- Massachusetts


As you can see Pie (top) and Piper (bottom) love their window perch now too! This is my second project and again the plans were detailed and very easy to follow. Again I highly recommend purchasing these plans. Thank you!
  
Cooper
- California


This is "Cooper" checking out the Shimbleshanks Tree House that my friend Jackie and I completed today. Your plans are awesome and so easy to follow. Since ordering the plans about 2 years ago we've made all the trees and given them to family and friends who are just blown away at the quality and sturdiness. The more we do the better we get, and they're so much fun to make. Thank you for providing us a great hobby!
  
Kitty-Kitty
- Indiana


The cat condo was easy to build from your plan. Kitty-Kitty loves her new place. Hope that you will post this picture of her relaxing in her cat condo.
  
Sebastian And Tippy
- Georgia


Thank you for putting together these cat tree plans. The tree looks great and the plans were easy to understand. Sebastian (top) and Tippy (bottom) love it! Thanks again.
  
Sophie, Tell, and Toby
- Texas


Love the plans! Took us less than two days to finish the castle! Can't wait to build more.
  
Molly
- Massachusetts


The cat tree is great! Molly loves it.
  
Kianti and Ryotte
- British Columbia, Canada


Your plans were very easy for our mom to follow and we love our new tree. Many thanks.
  
Fuzzy and Lucky
- Georgia


That's Fuzzy on the left and Lucky on the right. They love their christmas present. As you can see my husband used plans one and two. He had everything cut and put together in just one weekend and I helped with the carpet. It was fun and easy to build. We are so glad they like it. It's fun to watch them play on it. We are thinking about making more and selling them as a hobby.
  
Quincy and Poppy
- New York


My husband combined two of the plans with a little modification and here is the results. We built it mainly for our two kittens,Quincy and Poppy, but our 3 older furballs love it too. It's pretty funny to see 3 or more of them just hanging out! This tree stands 8'6". It draws a lot of attention from visitors.
  
Shampoo and Nacho
- New York


I finished building a cat tree. Shampoo and Nacho love the cat tree plan 4 that I made from your plans. I think I'll build them the resort next.
  

- Connecticut


Here is a pic of our tree (and our kitty) He was all over it before we were done! Thanks for the great plans.
  
Michino
- Texas


My cat Michino loves his Shimbleshanks Tree House. It was a lot of work but completely worth the effort. When I brought into the house he sniffed it a bit and gave it a walk around and quickly climbed to the top of the perch. Every night he goes to sleep in his tree now. Great plans and I will attempt another tree latter this month.
  
Jasper and Jade
- Texas


This is our cat Jasper on one of your cat tree plans. This is such a cute pose; I thought you all would like it. Jasper and my other cat Jade can’t get enough of their cat tree. Thanks very much!
  
Joey
- Ontario, Canada


Your plans are great and really easy to follow. It took me a few days to get it completely done. My cat Joey loves it. He loves to look out the window and survey his Kingdom!
  
Mazzy, Zeeta and Keeley
- Minnesota


I recently completed cat tree #5, the staircase, using your plans. The plans were great, easy to follow. I modified the top to a step or flat board instead of the octagon. I made mine a bit taller than the plan specs and it stands about 7 feet. It was a lot of fun to make and as you can see Mazzy, Zeeta and Keeley are making good use of it. Your plans are great and the furniture is sturdy.
  
Pie and Piper
- Massachusetts


As you can see Pie (bottom) and Piper (top) love their new hangout! Plans were detailed and very easy to follow, even for a novice. Highly recommend purchasing these plans. Thank you!
  

- Louisiana


The cat tree came out perfect. The cats (and girlfriend) love it! The plans were detailed and easy to follow. Thank you!
  
Buddy and Maddie
- Missouri


Here is Buddy and Maddie in their new Missouri tree house. Me and my wife had fun building this over the thanksgiving holiday.
  
Levi
- Texas


The plans were perfect. I combined two plans to make this tree. Our cat 'Levi' went straight to it, some how he knew that it was made for him. :)
  
Sebastian and Bessie
- Massachusetts


Thanks for the plans. Cats are already scratching the tree rather than the couch. The one with the cone is Sebastian the other one is Bessie. Sebastian was in a brawl a few weeks back and got a cut on his neck. He kept scratching himself, keeping the wound raw and unable to heal, hence the cone, for his own good. He is quite miserable, but it does provide him a shield because Bessie can be pretty nasty when she whacks him on the head.
  
Stewie
- Corner Brook, NL Canada


Added on a house with a hinged door for easy cleaning. Nice plans very easy to follow. Thanks
  
Zeeta
- Minnesota


  
Joe Tabasco
- Alabama


Attached is my attempt at the Mistoffolees Castle. Keep in mind I'm a complete newbie to doing projects of this nature, so please forgive some of the errors you'll notice. The errors were due to my inexperience and not a reflection of the plans. The plans are excellent and I'm 100% satisfied with your directions. I know I'll try one of the other trees, possibly the window perch next. Pictured with the Castle is my Chocolate Point Siamese, Joe Tabasco. He absolutely loves the tree and I'm glad I decided to tackle this project. Thanks for the awesome plans and I hope you'll post my pic!
  
Madeline
- Georgia


Madeline just loves her new condo. Easy to follow plans and a great product. I made the door a little larger than the plans call for. Can't wait to start on a couple more for our cats. This one was for my daughter.
  

- New York


I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how pleased I was with your cat tree plans. I chose the Rumpleteazer Hideout to create. I have 5 cats that would be using it, so I liked the many levels. Your directions were great and easy to follow and understand. I went to our local carpet store for remnants that would match the room - the carpet was only $10! And I love the multi colors. The tree is a very sturdy, well constructed piece of furniture. Visitors are amazed we made it and how nice it is. I volunteer at a local animal shelter - we have an annual fundraiser with a raffle and chinese auction. I am considering making one to donate. I know it would be a huge hit. I have included a photo of our tree - there are 3 cats on it (one is in the condo). Thanks again for such a wonderful product - I tell everyone about you. Our cats say thanks, too!
  

- California


Here's the completed plan 5, in my travel trailer.
  

- Minnesota


Here is a picture of the cat tree I built using your cat tree plans. I built the castle with a couple of modifications. I used a bed instead of a second square perch and more sisal rope. The plans were easy to follow and the project was alot of fun. I am planning to build a couple of the window perchs for the local animal shelter. Thanks for the plans.
  
Kermie
- Tennessee


Here's our kitten Kermie, just relaxing away in his new favorite spot!
  
Sophie
- Maryland


My dad made Cat Tree #5 for Sophie and she loves it! Now she can look out the window for hours on a perfect perch. It took her a while to get up to the top, but now that is her favorite place to sleep.Thank you for the wonderful plans.
  
Boots, Evie, and Oscar
- Virginia


We got a little carried away and morphed two of your plans. It ended up bigger than I anticipated, but our four cats love it! Your plans were very well laid out and easy to follow. Thank you!
  

- Oregon


Per your plans, I just finished the Staircase. I reversed the plans due to room layout, and decide to add a support -- a 2X2 -- to the bottom step, but other than that the plans were complete and easy-to-follow. The cat in question took a long time -- like ten minutes -- to discover the utility and great perch at the top. She's virtually in Seventh Heaven as we speak. What's hanging down is the end of her "mouse". She now jumps from the top perch to my shoulder when I'm working on the computer at the left.
  

- Virginia


I made several changes to this design including making the second layer wider and adding an edge so it could be a sleeping area. I also widened and lengthened the third layer so that my female, who is rather timid, could get up and down easier.
  
Saffron
- Florida


Just wanted to say thanks for the plans. I believe your very detailed plans could guide anyone to success. My original plan called for a 48X24 base, but I altered this to two 24X24 in parts to facilitate easy movement through our home but required I go from 6 main uprights to 8. the design is a combination of a couple of your plans, with a location for his litter, and a feeding station free form his doggie roommates noses. Saffron is enjoying his new plaything, and we had fun building it. it was completed in two days, again thanks to the well written plans.
  
Cooper
- California


Just a note to tell you how incredibly easy and fun the first cat tree I've ever made was. Your instructions were so complete and everything went together perfectly. I thought the carpeting would be difficult but that turned out to be the easiest part. I finished everything in 2 days. Hope you get the picture of my kitten Cooper playing. Thanks again!
  
Jackson
- Minneapolis


Here are pix of my grandkitty Jackson. I've used your plans to make several cat trees for my daughters' cats (my grand-kitties) - your plans are so clear that I'm able to go from uncut lumber to finished product in the course of a weekend.
  
Jon and Jasper
- Pennsylvania


We have purchased the plans for your cat stands to help make things simpler for us. It worked. With a few modifications we made our own staircase named: Jon's Staircase. My 7 year old daughter helped to make this stand for a 4h project for her cat Jon and his brother Jasper. Jasper is on top and Jon is on the bottom. Both love the stand and pretty much do not come off of it. We have it placed in front of the window for easy viewing for the cats. Our birdfeeders are out there. Thank you very much for these plans. Can't wait to try more.
  
Ernykins
- Ohio


This is Ernykins in Ohio. He loved the tree even though it turned out a little "lopsided".
  
Macintosh
- Idaho


  
Hungry and Fonzie
- Texas


Thank you so much for making these plans available. I was going to try to make my own, but using your plans made it so much easier. I put it together in two days, with no major diffuculties and my cats love it!
  
Boots and Sadie
- Colorado


The plans were easy to follow! Materials were easy to assemble! We wrapped the post to the perch with more rope and the cats love it. Thanks for making it easy but most of all, a quality product! I stopped by a pet store recently to see something less than 1/2 the size, mostly cardboard wrapped with carpet for $149.00. GREAT PRODUCTS! Boots and Sadie appreciate it!
  
Niña, Niño and Monty
- Texas


I have six cats and they just love all the trees/condos I've built so far. I built three of the the castle model as it is their favorite!
  
Jade and Jasper
- Texas


  
Mimi
- Vancouver, BC Canada


It is a very clear instruction. I only spent a weekend to finish it. I made it a little wide to reach the window, so my mimi can lie on it to watch outside.
  
Consemia
- Washington


Here is my cat tree built with your plans!
  
Geezer and Tootie
- Kansas


Our kitties thank you! The hardest part about it was getting started. The cats probably wonder why I didn't start sooner. Once I got going it didn't take long to complete. I'm now working on another.
  
Zoey and Kitty
- Washington


My boyfriend and I just finished making one of your cat trees. We were very impressed with how detailed the instructions are. We had never carpeted anything before and the pictures were very helpful. Our two kitties, Zoey and Kitty, have already claimed it as theirs. Thanks!
  
Honeyman
- Pennsylvania


Thank you very much for the plans you sent me. My mom and I just finished putting the Shimbleshanks Tree House together and it looks awesome.Thanks a bunch! PS: I've changed the name from Shimbleshanks to Honeyman's Tree House
  
Wallace and Darwin
- Western Australia, Australia


When I presented the finished product to my cats, Wallace and Darwin, it took them literally less than 60 seconds to claim it as theirs! The plans were simple to follow.
  
Tigger and Gatsby
- Illinois


Thanks for the great plans.. everything was as easy as you said it would be, and I look forward to trying another set of plans. Please post this pic for my girlfriend (she's very proud of her cats!... well, so am I). Tigger is on the top.... Gatsby is underneath him.
  
Zoe
- Florida


I built cat tree #5. It went together great and my cats love it! I actually have some friends that want me to build their cats one now! Thanks for the awesome plans. Here is a pic of Zoe enjoying the tree.
  
Charlie and Abby
- Arizona


Thank you for the great site and great plans! Attached is a picture of my cats Charlie and Abby playing on the cat condo I built from your plans. They love it so much, they fight over who gets to be on it...I'll guess I'll have to build another one. Thanks again!
  
Brando and Fuego
- Illinois


Thank you for your great plans. instructions could not have been any clearer, and I am very happy with the end result. Needless to say, our feline friends took over it before it was even ready (I had to watch out not to staple any tails).
  
Sting
- North Carolina


Excellent plans, easy to use. Thanks. I will start another in a few weeks.
  
Tootie and Sweetie
- Kansas


  

- Missouri


I bought plans from you guys a while back . I really liked the tree I built with your plans!
  
Max, Jasmine, and King
- Mississippi


We bought your cat tree plans and made one for a donation to our local humane society. It was made from scraps of wood and carpet that was donated. However, the cats in this cattery don't seem to mind that it doesn't quite match.
  
Gypsy, Domino, and Purrseus
- Virginia


Thanks so much for the wonderful plans. The tree was a big hit with our furry kids. This is Gypsy, Domino, and Purrseus enjoying their new tree. We can't wait to start the next one!

Pootchy
- Montréal, Québec


We modified a little bit the plans to make it accessible to our dog. There is a patio door that allows her to go on the balcony (It is where she eats). Thank you for your plans, very well explained. Where sending you pictures of her house so you can post them on the web. Pootchy loves her new home!
  
Charlotte
- Brisbane, Australia


Great site and really well set out plans. Recently made the Rum Tum Tugger Resort for Charlotte, and she loves it. Keeps her claws away from the furniture and stereo speakers too, so I'm happy :)
  
Cleo
- New Zealand


Made with sisal rope and 100% wool carpet. Made in 1 Day..WOW so easy and fun at that!
  
Cleo
- New Zealand


Made with Fluffy fake fur with carpet underlay underneath and removable lid with removable padding inside box incase of accidents. "Cleo" our British Silver Tabby female is 11 weeks old and loves her new cat condo. We cut out fluffy letters and attached to Her home for a more personalised look - sisal scratch rope attached to top post for her busy claws. We also made a little porch for her to jump out on.
  
Sugar
- Wisconsin


Enjoyed building the tree!
  
Shilo
- North Carolina


Thanks for the plans. They were very well written and easy to follow. I started out with the simplest one. Picture attached. Note that I substituted a 2x6 for the angled support because I had a piece and thought it would look nice.
  
Morkmer and Milo
- Alaska


Hello. I bought the plans last spring, and have since built 3 trees. These plans are the best! Today, I finished the 3rd one, and here it is after presenting it to Morkmer (top) and Milo (bottom). Thanks from Anchorage, Alaska!
  
Snowflake
- Indiana


  
Zoro, Tibbs, Bear
- Ohio


The plans make for amazingly sturdy cat trees. I've purchased different cat trees from my local pet shops and they last less than a couple months, but the tree i made using your plans lasted years.

Chloe
- Wisconsin


I finished my Kitty Condo this weekend! It took me all weekend to complete, but it was worth it! I've been incorporating play time with the condo to allow her to associate play time and fun with the condo so she will feel at home with it. It is part of a regimen I'm attempting in order to reverse bad behavior habits when I have company over (hissing and lurching). So far, it is working and kitty is responding well. It will take time to determine the effects, but i am so happy to have found these plans so I could make a condo all for kitty! I have such a sense of pride to tell people "I Made It!". Overwhelming response has been that they "love the kitty paw on the front". Thanks, again for developing these plans!
  
Lilly
- Vermont


Here is a picture of Grizabella's Staircase that we just built for our new kitten Lilly. The plans were very easy to follow and we had a great time making it. And Lilly loves it!
  
Kimba, Topaz, and Gulliver
- Arizona


Thanks for the great cat tree building instructions. They were perfect, even for a beginner like me. I have attached a few photos of the completed project. As you can see, I added a separate tower to your plan. The tower is actually quite stable. It is connected to the cat house using a support beam which provides plenty of support even when the cats are chasing each other up, down, and around the tree. Thank you again.

Bailey

Just wanted to say thanks for the plans and show you the result of my first attempt. I made the perch flat for ease of carpeting, but I'm very happy with the results just the same. Great step by step instructions make this idiot proof. Thanks again.
  
Maggie
- Texas


My son and I built our first with scraps found in the garage-a great learning experience. Now on to the next one! Thanks!

I just finished one of the cat tree plans with a couple of modifications. Thank you for the easy step-by-step instructions. I especially found the tips for carpeting extremely helpful. The kittens, Cali and Torti, love their new tree!
  
M-Night, Blanket, & Oscar
- New Jersey


I recently purchased you plans. I built one of the trees and my cats love it. I have sent picts along with this email.
  
Oscar and Simba
- Massachusetts


This is a picture of my second tree, it's a combination of your trees as you can probably see. Thanks again, I really enjoyed building them and enjoy watching my cats play on them.

Milo
- Florida


Thanks for your great plans, which I recently purchased from you. They take the guesswork out of planning, and save plenty of wasted time and resources. Here is a picture of your simplest project which I recently completed (but perhaps the most valuable for a young cat with claws, as it gives plenty of scratching area). The picture is of MILO from FLORIDA (my daughter's cat, who was the recipient of the gift, and who adopted the piece immediately!).
  
Boojum
- New York


All of your plans are very easy to construct with some simple tools along with the excellent instructions. I chose the "Castle" but I changed the bottom using a concrete form. I'd like to say Thank you for the excellent plans and instructions.
  
Chevy and Zena
- Tennessee


  
Molly
- Michigan


  
Vinnie, Pokie, & Football
- Michigan


The first tree (blue) resides in Michigan and is used by Molly (not shown, picture on your site has my cat Vinnie before delivery). As you can see the sisal is on place. Can't see it in the shot but the sisal has really got some use. Pokie is the cat in the picture. We have three black cats (Vinnie, Pokie, and Football). The local Home Depot will make a few cuts for free which may benefit some people with small cars and limited tools. I have started another hideout for donation to the Michigan Humane Society in Detroit (your can see the roll of carpet in the picture).
  
Pushkin and Razzamataz
- Virgina


Here are some of the pictures I took of the tree and the cats.
  
Ming
- Washington


Hi, completed the Hideout cat tree and I don't know who is more pleased, Ming or me. Very enjoyable project spread over several days. Ming, a male Bengal, has a longer body than most cats. The plans were very clear and easy to follow.
  
Tigger
- Texas


  
Peru and Vincent

Just wanted to let you know that I loved your plans! Here's a photo of my cats in what has quickly become their favorite space. I'm going to build the small one (Mungojerrie window perch) for my mom's cat
  
Charlie
- New York


I bought these directions this summer and built it right away. They were great and finally here is a picture of Charlie on the new cat condo.

Braveheart, Angel, and Baci
- Virginia


In May, we adopted three kittens, litter mates, and right from the start they loved to climb. After shopping the pet stores for an affordable, well constructed cat tree, I went to the internet, found your site, and ordered your plans. We ended up building two of the trees, the castle and the hideout, made a few modifications, and combined them on one base. The cats love it! They hang out in it, race around though it, and play all over it. So, on behalf of Braveheart, Angel, and Baci, many thanks!
  
Jake and Jinx
- Nevada


Excellent plans. Thanks.
