This is a cat tree I made for a friend around 1995.

The roots are solid wood covered with carpet. The trunk is made from wooden plates spaced about every foot or so with a central wooden support. It was then wrapped with chicken wire and the carpet attached to that. This comes apart in four pieces. The leaves are attached to the trunk with metal dowels. It's about 7' tall, so I had to build it in sections so it could be moved. The leaves were constructed with a central wooden support with ribs radiating out, then covered in chicken wire and carpet.
@AstralSmoke that sound like a lot of work. It is much larger than I thought it would be. Thanks.
That's awesome. Looks like it would be fun to play and nap on.

Thanks. I believe they've enjoyed it.
@AstralSmoke That's great. It looks amazing.
It is definitely a work of art. I hope the cats have spared it.

Wheels over cats. Sounds like a good title for a future piece.
That is awesome! It looks just a little like "Audrey II."

Thanks, I think. What is Audrey II?
@AstralSmoke You must watch the movie "Little Shop of Horrors."
@Deb57 Feed me all night long!
Yes, Audrey without teeth.
Sure you do!
