Scratching Post and Cat Tree Recommendations? (midwest.social)

And toys, if you want, but their scratching posts are getting in need of replacement and I never know what kind of trees would be more than just passable for our two cats; I'd like something they'd genuinely get excited about and not just find to be yet another surface to nap on.

Interesting; are they a good size? Every cat tree I've gotten has similar features but they always feel like they were designed to fit kittens. Our cats don't like the hammocks, either (though they do seem to hold their weight), but I kind of can't blame 'em: it doesn't seem like they'd fit all that comfy.

Regardless, thanks so much for the link! I'll need to measure the height of our ceilings…

My boy is 12+ pounds, he seems pretty cozy in the hammocks and house. It's hard to tell because I swear half his weight is fur, but he can curl up and not be spilling out of it. The old lady is less than half that weight, she does like the house better with a small cuddler. It's a pretty sturdy tree tbh

Cat for reference

What a handsome boy.

This is perfect; really helps to get an idea of the tree.

I really appreciate the recommendation; I really didn't want to buy something without an idea of how well it worked, again.
