At the Kitty Connection, we have been making the highest quality cat furniture, and scratching posts for over 15 years ! We use only 2x4, 4x4, 2x6, and plywood construction. We use nails, screws, and wood instead of cardboard and toxic glues. Of course, we use only high end, brand new carpet. We are cat lovers too, so we build all of our products with much love and care for our furry friends !
