I was the "I'll just get a bigger tree" kind of owner, and the "I'll just get a bigger tree" was the one I'd been doing for two trees. And then the morning I watched her walk past the wobbly one for the window sill, and the "the tree's not the she's using" was the I was doing, and the whole "I'll just get a bigger tree" loop ended in the "the tree's the she's not using'". Because the "I'll just get a bigger tree" was the one that was the "the tree's the shes not using, and the heavy-duty tree's ".
Here's the I was doing wrong: I was treating the "she's not using the tree" as the "I need a bigger tree", and the "I need a bigger tree" is the "the tree's the she's not using'" loop. But the "she's not using the tree" isn't the "bigger tree". It's the heavy-duty tree — the "the tree's , made into the she's actually climbing'". And the one that ends the "she's walking past the tree" loop isn't a bigger tree. It's the specific heavy-duty tree, and it's the one that turns the "she's not using it" into the "she's actually using it".
The instinct when the cat's the "she's not using the tree" is to "get a bigger tree," and you do, for two trees, and it's still the "she's not using it", because you're only treating the "I need a bigger tree" and not the weight. The fix isn't a bigger tree. It's the heavy-duty tree, which is the "the tree's , made into the she's actually climbing'".
One is the "heavy-duty multi-level tree" — the "the tree's , made into the she's actually climbing'", and the specific that makes it the right one is that it's the "the tree's the shes actually climbing," not the "the tree's the she's not using'". The other is the "corner cat tree" — the one for the "the 'I want the corner tree, and the corner trees ," and the specific reason it's the right one is that it's the "the tree's , done by the corner tree." They're two different pieces of the same "bring her back to the tree", and most owners who've been in the "I'll just get a bigger tree" loop need the heavy-duty tree one first.
alt="A cat on a cat tree" class="figure" style="max-width:100%;border-radius:8px;margin:20px 0;"> For the cat whose specific is "she's been walking past the wobbly tree for the window sill, and the 'Ill just get a bigger tree is the one that's the lie." The heavy-duty multi-level tree is the one that's the "the tree's , made into the she's actually climbing'". The specific reason it's the right one is that it's the "the tree's the shes actually climbing," not the "the tree's the she's not using'". You set it up in the corner, and the "she's walking past the tree" loop ends. The 4.7 rating is the reason it's the first pick: it's the "bring her back to the tree" answer.

See the heavy-duty tree →For the cat whose specific is "I want the corner tree, and the free-standing tree's the I need the corner is the one that's the I want it against the wall." The corner cat tree is the one that's the "the tree's , done by the corner tree". The specific reason it's the right one is that it's the "the tree's , done by the corner tree," not the "the tree's the she's not using'". It's the specific answer to the "the 'I want the corner tree'" problem. The 4.6 rating is the reason it's the second pick: it's the "the corner tree's " answer.

See the corner cat tree →Most owners fight the "she's not using the tree" with "I'll just get a bigger tree," and it's the "the tree's the she's not using'" loop that's been costing you two trees. The heavy-duty multi-level tree is the "bring her back to the tree" answer, and the corner tree is the "the corner tree's " answer. Use the heavy-duty tree for the "she's walking past the wobbly tree", and the corner tree for the "the I want the corner," and the "I'll just get a bigger tree" ends, because the heavy-duty tree's the she's actually using now. And if the "the 'I want the tree, and the 'I need to make sure it's '" is the one that's still the worry even with the tree, that's the point to check the setup, because the tree's the "" and the setup check is the "the 'I set it up right'".
