From trees and roofs to the tops of shelves and telegraph poles, we all know that cats love hitting high altitudes. Maybe its for the rush, maybe its for the solitude.

4 X LACK table
\n12 X chair brackets
\n24 X screws
\nBathroom mat
\nSisal<\/p>\n

Overlap and secure 3 tables of 4, using brackets chair and screws. Use the 4th tray table to make the base of the tree. Wrap the Sisal twine around the feet of the table.<\/p>\n
