I want to thank you and congratulate you for choosing the book, "Cats: Learn How to make Cat Furniture, Trees and Toys." Why would anyone want to build a cat tree? For starters, cats are amazing creatures and incredible, affectionate pets, but they do have some nasty habits. Perhaps the worst of all is their tendency to claw and scratch things you're arm, couch legs, carpet, and other furniture. If you don't pay close attention 24/7, you'll probably find evidence of scratching in many places you don't want ruined. One scratching episode is all it takes to completely destroy a nice piece of furniture. Learning how to make a cat tree can provide your cat a safe and convenient place to scratch while saving you money. After all, purchasing a tree online or from a pet store can cost you hundreds of dollars.
