Our Handmade Cat Trees: Why Quality Matters
Creating a high-quality cat tree is a time-consuming and demanding process.
It is possible to make one at home, but in most cases, the result doesn’t meet expectations – mainly due to the lack of proper tools, suitable materials, and most importantly, the know-how to do it right.
One of the most important steps in our production is carefully removing the bark from the wood. This step is often skipped because it’s difficult and time-consuming. However, removing the bark not only enhances the natural look of the wood but also helps prevent mold and mess in your home.
Each of our cat trees is handmade, which makes every piece unique. We pay close attention to every detail to ensure quality and safety.
🔧 Materials & Tools
One of the biggest challenges of building your own cat tree is getting the right materials.
Most suppliers only sell in large quantities – for example, wooden boards in 2.5×1.25m sizes or sisal rope by the hundreds of meters.
If you’re only building one cat tree, this can make the whole project unnecessarily expensive.
⚖️ Buying vs. Making a Cat Tree
Buying a high-quality cat tree is not cheap, but it’s a long-term investment.
A well-made tree can last your cat a lifetime. It’s worth asking:
Do I want to build one myself, or invest in a durable and safe piece made by professionals?
Let’s look at some real examples found on Facebook Marketplace:
❌ Example 1 – Poorly Wrapped Sisal
This cat tree is wrapped with sisal, which is great for cats – but it’s done incorrectly.
As a result, the rope will likely loosen quickly, which can be dangerous.
We’ve even heard of cases where a cat got tangled in loose rope and was sadly injured.
The bark was also not removed, which can lead to mold and a mess as it flakes off.
Carpet was used for the platforms, which wears out quickly and is hard to clean.
❌ Example 2 – Raw Trunk, Mixed Ropes
This tree uses an untreated, raw wooden trunk that’s likely to crack over time and become unstable.
It also uses two different types of rope: jute (darker) and sisal (lighter).
We always recommend using only sisal – it’s stronger, safer, and preferred by most cats.
Again, the bark wasn’t removed – and though it’s the hardest and most time-consuming part, it’s also one of the most important.
✅ Our Work
Every cat tree we make is crafted with care – using high-quality materials, safe finishes, and tested techniques.
We never cut corners. Even the most demanding steps, like bark removal, are done thoroughly – because details matter.
We believe your cat deserves not just a toy, but a safe and beautiful piece of furniture that will last for many years.
