To Tree or not to Tree

Work has kept me busy as a bee these past few weeks. Making sandwiches, slicing meat and cheese and taking orders. The life of a professional. Yup. Making cat trees.

The story begins long ago in a far away land called Gainesville. Strange plants with broad spiky leaves dominated the vegetation that remained green all year round. Trees had no bark nor any leave on their entire trunk. In the strange land with sandy soil a cat we shall call Simon paid homage to a tree of a different kind...

The Original

With scraps of wood found by the wayside I hammered together a place he could call his own. He lived in that tree, scratching the rope, climbing the carpet and going wild for his catnip. In Colorado it stands the test of time, but competition is on the horizon. It's much smaller and much nicer brother just entered the picture, and Simon has given his seal of approval.

Kitty Approval

The battle begins in earnest today. New or old? Nice or big? Only the cat can decide... May the best tree win!
