The garden centers are full of attractive pots for plants and trees and we found one that we liked well enough to live in the living room. It has become the base to hold the Cat Tree.
This locust tree was originally growing in our backyard in the townhouse in Washington. Zabelle was known to climb it only to be attacked by a cat bird she offended with her presence. When we put the greenhouse addition on the back of the house, the tree had to be cut down. It was saved and turned into a cat tree to be used by Zabelle's first litter and all cats since. RXC made shelves covered with carpet and screwed them into the trunk.
The tree made the move to West by God and then onward to France. To get it into the container however, we had to remove it from the wood and cement base. Which is why we needed to find a new pot for the base, and why it took so long to get it set up.
Dante and Calypso love having it back. However, they have grown considerably since their days in WV and they are a bit bigger than the shelves now. Still they spend much of their time up there.
Anyone who comes to the house is amazed by the tree (I guess it is unique by French standards). And guests love to see the cats playing in it.
