We didn't want to come right out and ask him, since he has more than enough work on his hands these days. But our hints about how great the cat tree is that he built for HIS cat had their hoped for effect. A week later Dad delivered a 6 foot tall monstrosity of a cat tree to our house in Missoula. A Wilson does not do anything small. Thing is, it left an 8 foot expanse of wall above, leading up to our loft, completely bare! What to do? Paint a mural? Too messy.
With some construction leftovers and spare carpet found in our basement Tanner & I built the extension depicted in the image below. Ringo now scales it to get upstairs, leaving the "people" stairs to us.

Laurie, Ringo is quite the climber! Has he ever gone back down? How is it held on the wall? Punkin would a a great time chasing Ringo up the tree and down the stairs. Hope they can tolerate each other next time we visit. Dad.
Hi Dad,
Its not connected to the wall. There is a box at the top that rests on the hand rail and then we have a piece of wire that goes around the box that is attached to a screw in the floor upstairs. Its quite ingenious if I do say so myself. It can be moved pretty easily.
Ringo tears up it several times an hour now. Hops down, runs downstairs and does it again.
Yes, Punkin would have a great time "treeing" the cat.
Are you coming down next weekend? I hear a rumor.
Laurie
