my cats are bored in my rather lack-lustre backyard and i’d like to get them a cat tree that’s suited for the outdoors (rain and all). i’ve seen some okay ones at Cat’s Play, using real tree branches/logs for the posts, but they also have carpet on them, which is not so good for outside. Armarkat has a nice all wood one, too, but it’s straight up-and-down, with no cubbies or limbs branching out
i’d like something with the perches/cubbies covered in all sisal or canvas. i probably could just replace the carpet on one of the others with the sisal or canvas, but they’re expensive enough as it is for me to want to spend more money just to get what i want.
any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks!
i suck at building things and have half a thumb to prove it….

I currently own 2 male (fixed) tuxedo cats. They are both indoor.
The other night, I come home to my appt and my door is WIDE open and both cats are gone. Thankfully I got them back.
But since Ace (the oldest) has been meowing at the door, clawing at it, or falling asleep by it.
Its breaking my heart! I want to let him out so badly but there are MANY ferral cats/dogs/coyotes in my area. Plus my apartment is RIGHT on the road.
I try my best to keep them intertained. They have a 9ft cat tree. A 3ftx3ft cat tent. A crinkly tunnel thing, and PLENTLY of cat toys. I leave 2 windows open all the time for them to look out or sunbath themselves.
I still feel bad. I mean, I live in a small place.. a studio apartment.. is there anything else I can do to keep them stimulated??
thank you!

OK so I’m trying to fix an old cat tree I got from my friend. It’s one of those you get from Walmart that’s made of cardboard and carpet with 4 posts and 4 perches. The posts connect by screwing into each other with a perch in the middle. Well, one of the plastic cap/plug whatever it is you use to screw and connect the post together broke and I can’t figure out what it is the get it replace. I’ve even taken it to the hardware companies to let em look at it. If you’ve never seen one of these posts they look like a shipping tube for posters, with the caps on the end, except these caps are stronger and have a knut in em to hold the screw and connect the posts. Does anyone have an idea of what I’m talking about and know what this plastic parts called and where to get it?

i have an indoor 7 month old kitten and i feel like shes bored all the time.
i feel bad keeping her in but i live in an apartment and her going outside is not an option.
i want to know what i should get to keep her entertained.
she loves toy mice and things with feathers, shes not that into balls.
i try and play with her as much as i can but i work 4 days a week so i want something that she can play with on her own.
i was thinking something like this:
http://www.petco.com/product/14465/Claw-Pals-Cat-Tree.aspx
or
http://www.petco.com/product/105595/Panic-Mouse-360.aspx
any suggestions?
both of those are kind of pricey so are there any cheaper versions at walmart or something?
thank you so much for all your answers!!:)

first off, I want to make it clear that I do not consider my cat, to be an accessory as some people believe when they hear a question like this…I put my kitten’s welfare above all else : I take off work when he’s sick or when he got back from the vets the day after he was neutered, he has every cat toy that the two closest pet stores sell as well as a very large cat tree tower and half of my room is sectioned off as "his bedroom" sooo really he is spoiled; however he is also well trained : he can come and sit on command, and walk on his leash all the way to the park everyday without a problem, he doesn’t go on the counters or the table, and we taught him to "leave it" when the hamsters are in their roll-a-bout balls so he won’t bother them
I love my cat as a family member not as an accessory
now-here’s my question…my I-cat has a pink purse bag and a purple sweater and I wanted to get matching stuff for my real cat (my real cat wears clothes for contests)
wear can I find stuff them?
just to clarify…an I-cat is a electronic pet that you hook up to your i-pod or mp3 player to play music on…my I-cat has a pink purse it rides in and it wears a purple sweater…my question is where can I find a pink purse bag for my real cat to ride in -and where can I find a purple sweater for my real cat
remember he is not an accessory, he is very loved and goes everywhere with me (he stops eating when I leave him home alone with the sitter for too long and he has some anxiety problems which makes it hard for him when I even leave the house for a few minutes! the vet put him on a med and it helps some but the problem is still there and since he seems to enjoy looking out the windows on a car ride I figure I might as well let him tag along places)…
(..I was planning on getting him a purse bag anyway because he can’t walk on his leash everywhere and the stroller I bought him is large so it won’t fit all the places I need to go)
thank you for your answers in advance

I foster cats and I have had a horrible layout in the upstairs of my house. I need a cat room (I foster orphaned kittens and momcats, so they need a space of their own). I have had one, but we just found out that it’s not heated in the winter (I’ve only been fostering since this summer). In order to foster orphaned kittens and momcats, I’m going to need a cat room, so our family is changing the entire upstairs. We’re adding hallways and extending the rooms, and now they’ll be a small cat room connected to my room. In the time being, I’m getting my last two kittens adopted this Sunday and I’m only fostering adult cats. Do you guys have any ideas for the cat room? They’ll have two litter boxes, a cat tree (about 8 ft. tall), linoleum floor, cat beds, big window with comfy perch, toys, ect.) The color scheme will be white, light blue and electric green. What do you think? What ideas do you have (I’m open for anything)? Most of the time the cats will be out and running around, but the rescue requires that I have a cat room, and it is very handy.
Thank you so much!!!
Yeah, no… human family! I am known to my friends as the cat lady… lol!

My cat is one of the most strange cats I have ever met. He plays with me very aggressively and he steals things from around the house. He does things that he clearly knows that is wrong in the house, like standing on tables all over the house. I thought getting him a cat tree would solve it, but he still does it. How can I stop my cat from misbehaving?

We had dogs and cats, and the cats were fed on a high cat perch. One young puppy, Conan, would see a kernal of cat food fall from the cat tree, and he’d take his time, sidle over to it, eat it unobtrusively without opening his mouth, and no other puppy was the wiser…
