CatastrophiCreations Cat Bridge 50" Wall-Mounted Play and Lounge Toy Cat Tree Tower Alternative for Pets

While a little more pricy than other cat furniture, the design and quality of catastrophic creations cat furniture is amazing. Very clean and secure installation. Highly recommend all their products.

The cats (9lbs, 9lbs and 19lbs) love the idea but the cats are apprehensive about climbing due to slippage. It is fine for kittens because they climb without stopping, but adult cats (more senior) require an adjustment point. I will have to purchase adhesive anti-slip treads to place on steps. Additionally, the steps are small but I understand why. The length is at the maximum for the best support.Need to include anti-slip treads (narrow treads between 1/2"-1") for the steps. The treads could be optional but should be included in the packaging. Optional because it would make cleaning the furniture easier (e.g. regurgitation, etc.) if treads weren't applied. However having them is safer for indoor cats with smoother pads/paws.

I have a whole plethora of wall mounts for my cat and all of my cats perfer this bridge. It is solid and comfortable for them. (Once they adapted to the movement.)

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! We installed this in a door way and I love messing with Oscar while he is hanging out. This is the new favorite perch. I was a little nervous that he wouldn't take to the gaps between the slats, but it wasn't even a concern for the little guy. Highly recommend adding this to your cat play space!Only thing I wish is that I could get a longer version for another wall opening. I'll be keeping an eye out for that in the future.

I was bored during all this Covid, so I decided to put up some fun things for my cats to climb and hang out on. This went up fairly easily. A few of the screws went in with a little difficulty but that’s more on my studs than the equipment. They’ve held up well so far. The bridge fits right with the play place hammock set.

This bridge was apparently meant to support a rabid mountain lion, because the only official way to install this is with 3 screws per support (2) into a stud.Nevermind that this is cat furniture for animals under 20 lbs and a single normal drywall screw can support 50lbs fairly easily, because the instructions, included hardware, and design itself might as well have come with a stud only warning and a picture of a cat with fingers in its ears.The designer was so stubbornly insistent on mounting with studs that the 3 screws that must go into the stud per support are all within a square inch or so. If you try to mount this into drywall you are going to have a bad time. If you try to mount this into old lathe above some stairs, you are just gonna wanna jump off those stairs and save yourself some heartache, trust me, I know. Just avoid this if you aren't going to find a location to mount this with easy access to studs.The build quality is good otherwise, but for $200... I know I'm crazy for investing this much into some cats, but that doesn't mean I am going to demolish and rebuild my wall to fit this thickheaded design.For this price, the design should include a provision for drywall installation and some recommended mounting hardware with a warning regarding the maximum amount of cats this should accomodate. There should be an extra set of supports or support adapter that should be wider to allow the load to be spread better .... which is the obvious design if the designer didn't try to fit 3 screws into the width of a 2x4... the design literally works against you here currently. I'm sure for $200 that 4 really good anchors could be provided....my cheapo TV managed to come with this option, I think a cat toy can do it.

I had to use a bigger drill bit for the screws. While using the bit they sent I was able to get my screw half way in until stripping started to happen. At that point I had used the one extra screw they provided and it snapped half way though my stud. I'm now forced to extract the broken screw and buy or ask for a new set which sounds silly. Either way I'd recommend buying better screws that will do the job correctly.

I purchased a few items from CatastrophiCreations. The concept is great, shipping is so quick, the quality however of the items is not as expected, the wood was chipped in some places. Also, as I was installing the cat bridge, I go to remove the last screw on one of the planks and it would not go anywhere, eventually it lifted off its base and now its stuck in its place, wont come off and wont tighten. For a $200 piece id expect a lot better quality.
