That could indeed be the case. Might just take a few more days for him to feel comfortable again.

There are some other things you could try besides a cat tree. I just discovered these funky suction-cup window hammocks and totally want one (or 3): http://www.kittycot.com/kittycotdescription.html

Wall shelves are also cheap and easy to put up. I bought some sturdy ones from Ikea and put them in a series of steps going to the top of one of my bookshelves. It's one of Peppercorn's favourite hangouts. Here's a website to give you an idea (with much fancier and more expensive shelves, mind you!): http://www.moderncat.net/2010/10/19/...efined-feline/
