Other cat tree condoms are huge both in width and height and have several scratching posts, shelves, and even play tunnels and attached toys to keep your cat amused and busy all day and all night. While some models of cat trees really look like a tree with shelves off the various branches and a hollowed out trunk for your cat to hide away. Others look almost like doll houses or miniature castles with both internal and external play areas for the cat to enjoy.
The homeowner tries in vain to grow grass in spite of the fact that trees are spreading surface roots all over the lawn and stealing sunlight. At some point comes the surrender to a landscape that has that balding, varicose veined look that inspires only ridicule when gazed upon. But there are homes that seem to have found some secret to keeping both in harmony.
