Natural wood cat perch with angled sisal scratcher is truly eco friendly.

36" height is perfect for looking out windows, but it's a big jump for some cats. If your cat isn't a high jumper, you might prefer the two level perch.

Why offer your cat carpeted cat furniture that will just confuse your cat as to which surfaces in your home are meant for scratching. Cats that use carpeted cat trees won’t understand if you scold them while they scratch your carpeted floor. To them it’s all the same. Our scratching posts and cat trees have rough wood and sisal surfaces to encourage your cat's natural need to scratch without "training" your cat to scratch on inappropriate items in your home.

Features:

• Dimensions:
  Base: 20” x 20” x 4” thick
  Platform: 13” x 18” x 1 1/8" thick
  Overall Height: 36”
• No tip design ensures stability
• Comes with one 24" sisal rope scratching post that is attached vertically
• Tightly wound natural sisal - best for aggressive scratchers.  Better for their claws -- and your sofa!
• Sisal is a natural plant fiber that makes a very durable rope.
• Base is made from rough sawn pine, giving your cats the rough texture they crave.
• Platform is 1 1/8 thick pine. It is sanded smooth, however the circular marks from the wood being cut at the mill are left visible,adding to the character of the cat tree.
• Platform is bordered with 1/2 inch sisal rope for a defined edge.
• Posts are locally harvested birch with the bark removed, and are finely sanded, then sealed with an environmentally safe, non-toxic clear coat.
• Clear coat on the posts has several advantages -
  Longer life - the wood is much less susceptible to cracking in dry conditions.
  Easier to clean - the satin finish can be wiped with a damp cloth.
  Enhanced beauty - it brings out the colors of the wood, highlighting its natural beauty.
• Rubber bumper feet for no slip on hard floors
• No exposed hardware - your kitty will thank you!
• Made using non toxic Elmers wood glue and fasteners applied from underneath so they are not visible or accessible to cats
• All solid wood, absolutely no particle board or plywood.
• Wood is natural and untreated (why is this important?)
• Environmentally conscious 'green' manufacturing processes:
  
  • Sustainably harvested wood from responsibly managed local woodlots. Much of the wood is from trees downed by storms or from thinning operations to improve forest health
  • Local sourcing of wood reduces carbon footprint from transportation.
    
  • No chemical treatments, preventing harsh chemicals from leeching into the ground and water supplies.
  • Clear finish on the posts (base, platforms and scratcher are unfinished) is a water-borne acrylic finish that is non-toxic and environmentally friendly. It has no odor and is safe for children's products as well as for pet products.
  • Absolutely no carpet - carpet is made from petrochemicals - 'nuff said!
  • Wood biodegrades - At the end of its long and useful life, wood won’t occupy any landfill space. Wood breaks down very quickly in landfills, less than 25 years. Plastics can take up to a millennium to decompose.
