I sure wish there was something like that closer to home! These look
very nice!

That's in Denmark, not Finland, but still, from your point of view
fairly close to us. Actually, I believe it would be closest to Lena as
she lives in the southern parts of Sweden and Denmark is right next to
her. We're on the other side of Sweden from Denmark.

But I've seen tons of cat tree manufacturers' sites in the US with
similar stuff. Bet you just haven't found them all yet.

My bad, the original poster said it was finnish and I didn't notice the
.dk in the url.

Well, that and I'm not allowed to buy more cat furniture. ;-)

Well, you're allowed to read the menu even if you're on a diet... ;)

That one's in Arkansas, the closest one to you I found with a quick search.

Nice. There's this one in San Antonio that is expensive, but very nice.
We have two pieces of furniture from them and the cats love them:

Wow! Those are beautiful, but waaaay over my budget, even if I would
live closer.

Oo. I was thinking about asking someone to build me a ramp since both Sugar
and Pearl have arthritis. I thought a ramp wouold still provide exercise but
less stress. Maybe I will just order one!

I read his post - he doesn't write English very well. I think he meant
to say finished, not Finnish.

Hehe. Another good reason to stay single - I can buy all the cat
furniture I want (except at the moment, after all the vet bills, I
can't, so it might be good with two incomes...).

About that site, BTW, it states that the cat trees are imported (if I
understand the Danish correctly), but it doesn't say where from.

I wondered if I got that right.  Looked like they are an import company.
And looked like they sell it modular and then you build your own tree from
the parts.

It can't cost that much to build a cat tree.  When I see the ones I like at
the pet stores, I wish I could go direct to the place that assembles them
and cut down on some of the mark-up in price.

We've actually built one piece of cat furniture (my FIL built a nice one
too, but he's retired and enjoys woodworking), a strong, sturdy sissal
scratching post. It's about 4 feet tall, with a very large, heavy base.
We used a hot glue gun to attach the sissal and let me tell you, that
thing is dangerous! We both burned our hands a few times. :)
Maybe with more practice...

Yep, Denmark is just a bridge away these days ...
I have seen some more brands of nice cat furniture that's Danish - but then
they make real nice *people* furniture too, our southern neighbours!
I am sure Victor can find good stuff closer to home - if he's allowed any
more ... =)
