What kind of Christmas present do you buy a cat that has everything?
A unique cat tree.
Christmas Cat Tree
If you haven’t checked out the design, workmanship and quality material we put into our cat tree furniture – shame on you. Why keep spending money on inferior products that don’t last as long, can’t withstand the normal wear and tear of everyday cat activity, and start looking shabby long before their usefulness is over.
Buying less expensive cat furniture can cost you more. Take a look at our product line. Every piece of cat furniture is hand made, using the best material, and building features into each unit that improve comfort and usability by your cat. At the same time we build cat furniture that will look good in your home.
We know we make some of the most expensive cat furniture in the market place. But we also know we make the highest quality cat furniture in the market place. If you are looking for value, check out our website and make that special feline in your life the happiest cat in the world on Christmas morning.
This giant cat tower stands 7 feet tall and is 53 inches wide from leaf tip to leaf tip. It has 12 large leaves (12″ wide by 20″ long) that are contoured and lined for added cat comfort. There are a total of 10 holes leading into one of three chambers in the trunk where your cats will love to sleep, play or hide. The tree is built on the 36 inch diameter base guaranteeing it will not tip over during normal cat usage. The top is called the “Eagles Nest” and has a 24 inch diameter and a sculptured rim that ranges in depth from 3 inches to 6 inches. A total of 17 cats could be on this tree at the same time.
The Black-Eyed-Susan stands 4 feet 7 inches tall and has a 30 inch round padded cat bed on top. The center of the cat bed has a special thermal liner to absorb and radiate back your cat’s body heat for added comfort. There are two large contoured leaves (12″ wide by 20″ long) and two smaller leaves (10″ wide by 18″ long). A total of four holes lead into two distinct chambers within the tree trunk. The bottom chamber is a great hiding place for your cat, and when not used by the cat will store toys keeping them out of sight. You have the option of adding a 4 inch wide by 24 inch long sisal scratching pad to the back of the cat tree to give your cat an approved scratching area.
Uniquely designed to fit anywhere and still be the focalpoint of your cat’s activity. This unit is totally reversible – the only difference will be the amount of crawl space under the flower. Ideal for kittens and mature cats suffering from arthritis or other joint or back problems. Total height is only 16 inches and the unit is 27 inches wide. The center on both sides is padded and lined with our heat retention material to absorb and radiate back your cat’s body heat for added comfort. The Spider is shipped in a single box and comes fully assembled.

Cats are territorial. We know that’s by nature, and it’s important to provide your cat(s) as much space in your home as possible. When thinking about ‘cat space’ most people think about the floor space that’s available. But a great alternative is to also include vertical space provided by cat furniture.
Providing Vertical Space
The fastest solution to adding vertical space for your cat is to provide a cat tree. Most of the ‘cat space’ in or on a cat tree is vertical. In relationship to the over-all ‘cat space’ the footprint or floor space a cat tree is taking up is minimal. Because we know cats like to be high it’s important to buy a cat tree that is as tall as budget and room size allows. On the top of the cat tree should be a comfortable cat bed. Options include a flat surface that is covered and perhaps lined for comfort, or a cat bed that has a padded center and sides to support your cat laying against the side – which most cats would prefer. The cat tree should also have several levels your cat climbs to get to the top. The more levels the more exercise. Another consideration for a cat tree is to have one that incorporates hiding places and pass throughs to provide a spot for quite time or to tweak curiosity.
Another solution to providing vertical space is to use wall mounted cat furniture. Options are
Wall mounts provide height
quite varied. You can mount cat shelves, cat beds and even cat trees right to the wall. Using different or multiple pieces you can build an entire wall scape or playground for you cat. The design of your wall scape is limited only by your imagination. In many cases its more economical and satisfying for the cat to have a wall playground rather than a single cat tree.
So the next time you are thinking about adding ‘cat space’ be sure to think vertically as well as horizontally.
On Monday we shared with you information on the ultimate cat tree that we call The Big Oak. Not everyone has a need for such a large piece of cat furniture, but many people really like the design of the Oak Tree. For those of you looking for something smaller we designed the Little Oak Cat Tree.
Little Oak Cat Tree
The Little Oak is a 5 foot model of its big brother. It has 7 contoured leaves that are lined with the same heat retention material to provide that extra comfort for your cats. Just like the big tree, it has nine holes leading into 3 chambers in the trunk that cats find irresistible and will spend hours playing, hiding, sleeping or plotting to overthrow the world. It too is built on the 36 inch diameter base for extra stability – as a matter of fact we guarantee this tree will not tip over, even during aggressive cat play.
You have the choice of two different tops for this cat tree. The standard top is a 24 inch square that’s padded in the center. The second option is to put the Eagles Nest on the Little Oak – to do this there is an up charge of $25.00. Many customers like the look of the Eagles Nest on top of the Little Oak, and most cats prefer to have that feeling of extra security the rim on the Eagles Nest gives them.
So if you love the design – but don’t have the room for the bigger tree – you will get the same features and benefits with the Little Oak. Remember, you can save money if you order this tree and pick it up at a cat show that we are participating in. To check our cat show schedule go to the website.
We call it the Big Oak. We could have just as easily called it the Giant Redwood or the Sequoia Mountain.
This cat tree stands 84 inches tall. It has 12 contoured leaves that are padded and lined with a thermal retention material to absorb your cat’s body heat and radiate it back for added comfort. The total width of the tree is 53 inches from leaf tip to leaf tip. There are nine holes that lead into three different chambers in the trunk that will provide endless activity for your curious cats. The tree top is called the Eagles Nest. It’s 24 inches in diameter and has a sculptured rim that ranges from 3 to 6 inches high. Many cats love to have that extra back support that this rim gives them. This giant of a cat tree is built on a 36 inch diameter base that guarantees it will not tip over, even during aggressive cat play.
17 cats can easily fit on this cat tree at the same time – just to give you some idea of its size. Not that many people have such a large number of cats … so with a lessor number in your home, just think of all the fun your cats will have with the extra room.
Cats need vertical space, and this piece of cat furniture provides the height that all cats love, plus many hiding and resting places that will be used and enjoyed from the moment you bring this cat tree into your home.
If you want to provide your cats with the ultimate cat tree order the Big Oak today!
A good way to save money on quality cat furniture is to eliminate the delivery cost. You can do that if you live in close proximity to a cat show where we will be displaying our product. By ordering your cat furniture and asking us to bring it to the show you simply pick it up there and completely eliminate all delivery cost – which on a large cat tree can be quite substantial.

Aug. 14 – 15, 2010 Great Lakes Friends of Felines, Inc
Wyndham Hotel & Conference Center
4747 South Howell Ave

If any of these are not convenient for you please keep checking because we are always looking for opportunities to participate in cat shows and our show schedule seems to be dynamic and we don’t always have sufficient time to advise ahead of time.
The special low price of the Little Jack cat tree is only good for a couple more days.
Cat Tree Packed with Fun and Excitement
The Little Jack is our most popular fantasy tree. It’s representative of the beanstalk in the children’s story Jack ‘n The Beanstalk. Your cat can either climb going from leaf to leaf, or it can scurry up the serpentine vine the surrounds the tree and leads to the cloud on top. Once your cat reaches the top of the vine it can go through one of two holes to get on top of the cloud where it will find a padded thermal liner to add to its comfort while lounging or napping high above the environment it left behind.
The Little Jack is a piece of cat furniture that provides five climbing levels for your cat to enjoy; and if you have more than one cat, they will act just like a couple of squirrels on a tree chasing each other around and around and around …
This cat tree is on sale during the month of July – you only have a couple more days to take advantage of the reduced cost. If you order today – it will be in your home within 3 weeks. Order this cat tree today, and soon your cat will be enjoying the time of its life.
Did you know we will make the POD in any color carpet, or combination of colors, that we have?
The POD is a very versatile piece of cat furniture. It’s a cat bed when you place it anywhere in your home your cat likes to sleep. It’s a cat window perch when you place it in front of an outside window from which your cat can observe all the activity in the neighborhood. When you place it next to the couch or chair you enjoy being in its your cats’ own space from which to enjoy your company while not being too close. And it’s a cat condo when your cat climbs into the hole in the trunk for some “leave me alone” time. That same hole in the trunk is a great place to hide cat toys when company in coming over.
The POD is only 27 inches tall. The cat bed itself is 17 inches in diameter and 5 inches deep. The base is 21 inches in diameter making the cat tree very stable. You would be spending a small fortune if you were to purchase separately a cat tree, a cat bed, a cat perch and a cat condo. Now you can get all the features and benefits of these four pieces of cat furniture in a single money saving unit.
Order your POD now, and tell us what color or colors you would like us to make it in.
Cat trees are not inexpensive. And if they are not made well a cat can destroy a cat tree in no time – and there goes the money you spent to get the tree.
The Little Jack Cat Playground
On the price scale we know our cat trees rank on the high
end. But we also know how our quality workmanship and better grade material stack up against the less expensive cat furniture you can buy at your local pet store.
Everyone of our cat trees is hand made in the U.S. using only the best quality material for the application. Every tree is inspected thoroughly before it is shipped to make sure there are no defects. We truly believe that if you are looking for value and a piece of cat furniture that will last, you should be seriously considering buying a Great Lakes Pet Furniture cat tree.
As an incentive for you to save money on a quality cat tree we are reducing the cost of our popular Little Jack by $100.00 if purchased via the website before the end of July. Take a look at this superb cat tree – not only is it aesthetically pleasing, it will be the center of activity in your cats’ world.
