Scratch & Climb. Have cat-lovers' prayers been answered? B�STIS BLOND is IKEA's new rattan cat tree. The wall-mounted feline playground is built for climbing, hiding, napping and scratching ��and it's a huge improvement in aesthetics. Via: SwissMiss...

B�STIS BLOND measures just under 71" tall and sells for $89.99.

I wonder how sturdy this is.

Expensive AND hideous. That is an improvement...

It's not great, but it's one of the better small space-friendly ones I've seen. Like Pixie, I wonder if this is made for one small cat or can accommodate a couple of cats at once.

Honestly, compared to most cat furniture this thing is downright gorgeous.

Get a heavy-duty tension rod--from Ikea's Stolman closet system, or use a photography studio Auto Pole (also called a Cat pole!) and wrap it tightly in hemp rope. Deploy this next to a shelf somewhere, and you're done!

Rattan is only an improvement to blindness, in my book.

With my luck, I'd shell out the $90 for it, and my cat would just stare at it and never use it. Really.

I like it! But my sentiments are as jillian 1977's. I wonder...
