You may have to improvise and either add your own ramp to an existing cat tree, or add steps or something else that allows your kitty to get up high without having to jump. If I come across anything, I'll let you know! I’ve seen the occasional cat tree with ramps, but they seem to be the exception rather than the rule, Michele.

That is the worst declaw I have ever seen." Sadly it was done on all four feet. I would love to find a kitty tree with ramps. She is very fearful of jumping and then not being able to grab on and then falling over backwards. She also uses an ottoman to jump up and down from my bed and learned that pretty quickly. She loves being up high, even if it's just me holding her on my shoulder and walking around my apartment. She is just a love and I plan to spoil her as much as possible. If you ever see such a tree or if someone reads this and decides to build one (there has to be a need,I'm sure of it) please feel free to contact me. Thanks! Layla,

I think the key to building your own would be that you'd have to at least know your way around tools - not something that is the case in this household, which is why Amber picked her favorites for the Conscious Cat Store. Layla, I love the idea of a cat tree for elderly cats with a ramp! Why hasn't anybody thought of that before! I’m glad you like the article, Marisa and Marge.

What comes to mind is a gentle circular ramp like the design of the Guggenheim Museum in New York. My cats like their window sill bed but need a chair to hop up, and they use a foot stool to jump into bed.

Those are a little expensive for us but we do get to go outside and climb the real trees. And I did see that link to a place to build a cat tree. That sounds like a great idea and we might give it a try. This is really good information. Hope you have a great day. That is such a great article about the cat tree.

Cat trees and cats go hand-in-hand :) I have yet to meet a cat who doesn't like a cat tree. I have two of them, a tall one and a short one, both by windows. My cats love them for all the reasons mentioned above in the article. I bought mine but for someone who is handy and has the right tools, making your own cat tree will save money and can even be made of recycled materials. Great post!

I've seen cat trees in several different shapes and sizes. I would recommend you stop by Petsmart if you are interested in getting one. They carry a great brand WhiskersCity.
