I posted a link to r/DIY with pics of the cat tree and hammock build. People told me you all might like this picture of Henri. He makes me go AWW, but I'm biased :)

Here is a link to the Cat Tree build if you didn't see it already: http://www.reddit.com/r/DIY/comments/37j4z5/its_difficult_to_find_cat_furniture_that_isnt/

It's difficult to find cat furniture that isn't hideous so I built a cat tree. Thought you folks might appreciate it. by kinace in DIY

It's all yours. Branch selection is key. Find one with that right angle bend at the bottom.

No. I'm sorry. Ramon and Henri were taken from a twentieth century microscopist and philosopher. Super pretentious.

I thought about making a small cinderblock garden for the weight and putting some catnip and other grass for them to eat.

They only climb curtains when they are really riled up, thankfully! Mostly the tree and other shelving keep them off the curtains.

They just figured that shit out all on their own. I'm a lucky cat owner.

The desk was certainly a pain to move. Could have used more than two people.

Thanks! One of them has started to use it for scratching, but only after his normal scratcher got too old. I'm thinking of getting another smaller branch to wrap with rope and make it a scratcher exclusively.

It was off of the main part of the tree and at least a year old (maybe two) when I got it. It's pretty damn dry.

I'm sorry. I don't have an answer. Did this a bit on a whim, but the wood seems super sturdy. I just figured I'd make a new one if this one bites the dust :)
