Having furniture for your cat is important, but I was sick of the usual look of cat trees. I moved into a new home and wanted something that actually complements the room. Decided to shell out more money than I'm usually comfortable with, and WOW I'm glad I did. Picture is of the Mau tree on our living room next to the kitchen. I love love love the look of it and I can't imagine the room without it. I did make a slight alterations to the cave opening, using an extra cushion I ordered from Mau, because my cat likes to hide when guests come over. It took about a month for my cat to get used to it, but now she scritchy-scratches it all the time and plops into one of the baskets whenever I cook in the kitchen. It is heavy, but I personally have no problem carrying it around. I had to take it upstairs at one point and it was no big deal. The weight makes it more stable. If you need to move it, the trick is to get a good grip on the lower branch with one hand, and grip onto under the base with your other hand. The assembly did make me scratch my head a bit. Placing the three supports in the cave straight without it appearing a bit "twisted" was a challenge. Make sure you are only loosely setting the screws at first, then when they're all in, gradually tighten each one a bit of a time in a circle until all sufficiently tightened.

This is our 2nd mau lifestyle cento cat tree. We have 2 cats that LOVE the first one, but it became a “king of the mountain” thing with them. We decided it is time to get a 2nd one. These cat trees are well made, with replacement parts available if needed. Yes, I highly recommend! Worth the $$$ as it is well made.

Was confused with the "Cat House" as it doesn't come as a fully built item.

Fairly easy to put together, made of great material and super soft. The wood pieces are heavy. I do wish the cushions for the baskets were thicker. Otherwise, exacly what I wanted.

My kit-cat seems to like it well enough. So much so, she has been chewing on the basket and I imagine it will need to be replaced down the road. I was glad to see you can buy replacement baskets from this company. She has not ventured to the top basket yet. We made sure it was nice and tight so it wouldn’t wobble. Hopefully she will try it out one day. The price is a bit high, but esthetically it looks nice with our decor, unlike a lot of other cat trees. We have another cat as well and she has not paid any attention to it, but then, her sister rules the house, so she’s probably waiting for permission. I’d say this cat tree should be half the price, but like many other pet parents, I go overboard on occasion. Ours didn’t come with instructions, but it’s easy to figure out. Make sure you use the long screw for the taller branch. We made the mistake of using it for the base and ended up with a long screw sticking up in the cubby hole. We had to re-do it. Overall…if you want a nice looking tree…and you can splurge, this might be for you and your purrr-baby or babies.
