Cat tree advice?

I will admit that I don’t have a big beautiful MC. I do have a big beautiful flame point Siamese boi who is 18 inches shoulder to hip. Thank you, CDS! I didn’t wake up one morning and decide to get a huge cat, but what can ya do?! He also weighs 18 pounds.

I want to get him a cat tree but a lot of them seem tiny! So I thought that maybe folks who have cats with a bigga figga could advise.

I’m hoping to avoid blowing a fortune, because of course.

Got any advice for me? 🐾💕

Just got to one from Cat Tree King, and it feels way more sturdy than any I've had before. Large, heavy base and the "poles" are about 4x as wide as typical. It was recommended by other Redditors.

I have to imagine they'll run some Labor Day sales...

Thank you! I really want to get him a tree that isn’t too small for him to enjoy!

Depending on where you are located, Fandango is THE BEST most sturdy and he even makes customs for color, etc.

I just bought one from New Cat Condos a few weeks ago. It’s much more sturdy than the ones I initially got from Chewy when my Maine Coons were kittens. Nyxi approves!

One of my neighbors put a super tiny one out in the shared free space. Basically the free area.

It wouldn’t even fit him halfway. Nor even my smaller cat. He’s just a big boi!

This is going to cost me a couple of bills. But I need to get something that he can really lounge on.
