Costco Cat tree

When I went to pick up Onnie & Bunduk I asked Anita about the cat trees they had and she told me that recently she bought many from costco (I NEVER see cat treees on sale there??? :sad, she bought about 5 or so knowing that her customers often ask about her trees.

I was going to get one for them but my mom wont let me as there's just way too much cat stuff in the house in her opinion . Its true. Bunduk does a good job of scattering his toys everywhere by morning (every day I put them in the basket and come night were constantly tripping all over them) . I swear it looks like we have sextuplet toddlers or something in the house!! ...the mama has drawn the line

Anyhooo if anyone is interested, she is selling these for $115...I thought they were a good price considering theyre way more expensive at petstores.

Theyre located in Arkell, near Guelph..u can pm me for their info/ checkouthttp://www.catnapcottages.ca/ for Anita's email.

I am selling the post for $116 + 5% GST, no PST. It is about 5 feet tall and attached is the pic. My 3 cats LOVE it more than any of their others!! There are toys in the hole thing and a dangly ball from the top that the cat here is playing with... see attached.

oops so it was 116 + GST...still i think its good considering the prices ive seen at petsmart and such

Onster , I bought mine (the cats I mean) at Costco but it's smaller than this one. Our Costco here only had one size , I think it was 49.99.

I know eh...I always wanted to get them ones from petsmart and such but I just couldnt justify the price to be honest....so then i felt bad that they didnt have a tree and I bought them a whole bunch of other things and now the house is too stuffed


I dont see why costco doesnt have them on sale on year round...Ive never seen them and weve been members for 7 yrs! Maybe they only go on sale in the summer??

I really want it I have the money for it too...but...mama's house mama's rules. My moms a neat freak but she really has been ok with kitty stuff everywhere and kitty furniture..even had a kitty fountain at one point (but it broke and we returned it) at this point though she thinks if I cut down on kitty spending I could feed a small country . That and she wants SOME notion that people actuallly live at the house, not just cats

lol...

actually i think I may give away the dog bed I got at costco for the cats...its HUGE and the cats are afraid of it Its too "sinky" for them...I mean the cat tree would actually take less space on the floor, just more space vertically

lol as of late anything I buy for the cats ive been told has to be in my room. I now have 1 huge sisal scratcher in my room and their 2 egyptian beds...lucky I have a big room

I got my big 6' one at Petsmart on clearance a few years ago, and it was $115 on clearance, so that is really reasonable for one that size.
