CAT TREES AND CONDOS 2020

CAT CONDOS 2020

they get better every year!

I’m so inspired by the human spirit, human ingenuity, human love; and all of the fun and surprising avenues through which these human qualities can manifest…

For Example—

CAT TREES AND CONDOS! 😸

  • A Simple Invention Built With Love.

  • I haven’t purchased a new cat tree or cat condo in years, and the time has finally come!

  • Making one from scratch is still totally on my To-Do List! Somewhere in the pile 😸

A lot of these cat trees are too cool for my house 😊 and way too expensive; but they are inspiring artwork of animal habitation.

(Every couple of years, as i surf on the net, it warms my heart to see the dedication, the quality, the love, the fun, & the desire to share info keep growing and growing ❤)
