The Big Oak


On our website The "Big Oak" is getting the most traffic of our product pages. It's no wonder because it's built like the real thing - very strong and durable. It stands seven feet tall and weights 150 lbs. It's large enough for seventeen cats to be on it at the same time. There are a total of twelve leaves, each sculptured for your cat's comfort and lined with our unique thermal layer to retains your cat's body heat. Nine holes are positioned in the truck providing many areas for exploration or hiding. The Cat Tree trunk is wrapped in commercial grade carpeting turning it into a scratching post and also giving your cat an ideal place to stretch. Our unique design allows for each piece to be easily replaced in the event of excessive wear and tear, or damage. You don't have to replace the entire tree because of an unsightly part - simply replace that part and continue enjoying the tree.


For those of you saying "seven feet - 150 lbs is just too big", we've made a smaller model. We call it the "Little Oak" (not a big stretch). It's only five feet tall and 115 lbs. Built with the same quality material and care to detail as the larger version. This might be just the right size your looking for.

Ragdoll


The "Ragdoll" is a large, docile cat, that gets its unusual name from its willingness to relax and go limp like a rag doll when picked up. Ragdolls have a medium to long non-matting coat that has a soft texture like rabbit fur. They are known for their laid back termperament that makes them very easy going, affectionate, playful and sociable. They are very people oriented and comfortable around groups of people. Ragdolls are known for their broad chests and large hindquarters, they do not reach full maturity until between 3 to 4 years. Females are smaller than males, weighing about 10-15 pounds on average. Males weigh an average of 12-20 pounds as adults.


A Ragdoll makes an excellant companion if you are looking for a non-agressive cat that loves to be around people, and is very placid. If you are one of those people who love the look of a long haired cat, but don't want the constant grooming associated with some breeds, then a Ragdoll would make a good choice.


The perfect cat tree for a Ragdoll would be any of the medium or large trees shown on our website (http://www.greatlakescatfurniture.com/) that have a minimum leaf size of 10 inches by 16 inches. These leaves are contoured to "snuggle" your cat, have an extra layer of padding, and are lined with our thermal layer to retain the cat's body heat. With these "special comfort zones" there will never be a question as to where your cat is. Check out the full line of quality cat furniture on our website.

International Shipment


We successfully shipped one of our Cat Trees to Canada. Most manufacturers won't ship Internationally because of the extra cost and effort involved. Our approach was to do the research and find out as much about shipping cat furniture internationally as possible, and then to give the customer the option of paying a little more in tax and duty to secure the best made cat tree available anywhere. Give us an opportunity and we will be happy to go the extra length to make sure that you to are a satisfied customer. Order your cat tree today at: http://www.greatlakescatfurniture.com/

The "Spider"


The "Spider" can't really be called a Cat Tree, even though cats love to climb on it, crawl under it, and sleep in it. It's only 16 inches high, but provides a mountain of activity for cats that love to be adventuresome and for those that love to crawl into small confined spaces. Ideal for "older" cats who may not like to climb as much as they use to, or for the smallest of kittens who are just starting to discover the world.

"Some Assembly Required"


If you ever put together children's toys that stated "some assembly required" you may shudder every time you hear those words. But let me assure you - assembly of our cat trees is simple and easy. The only tool required is a small wrench. The smaller trees (The Spider and The Acorn) come fully assembled, the rest need to be put together. The top and base simply "spin" on, and all that is required is that you "hand" tighten them to the trunk. The leaves attach to a metal bracket on the trunk with two bolts. The holes are easily accessible to slip the bolt through, and you have no trouble fitting a wrench onto the nut to tighten. Velco flaps hide all the metal parts. A drawing of how the parts go together comes with every cat tree for those who need a "visual".

The trees are very sturdy and stable once assembled, and guaranteed not to tip under normal use. The various parts of each cat tree is designed to be "replaceable" - if a leaf gets damaged for example, it can be replaced without replacing the entire tree. You may want to change the color theme; you could easily do that by changing parts. This feature gives you much more value for your money and extends the life of the tree.

So whatever you are looking for in Cat Furniture; whether its called a Cat Condo, Cat House, Cat Climbing Tree, Cat Scratching Post, etc. - you owe it to your feline friend to check out the products at Great Lakes Cat Furniture.

Don't let the phrase "some assembly required" scare you. It truely is fast and easy.

Great For Kittens


Curious kittens love this little Cat Tree. It's fun to climb on and play under. Standing only 13 inches high and 24 inches wide, it's the right size to fit anywhere. The padded top is 16 inches in diameter and is lined with a thermal liner to retain your cat's body temperature for added comfort. This feature also makes it a very good choice for your "senior" cats, who may have trouble climbing and jumping, but still want a comfortable place to rest. Four large leaves support the top and add to the unique design of the cat tree we call "The Acorn".
