Store Review

Another great addition to my Expedition! My cats are easily able to balance and sleep on this post.

An absolutely amazing experience from beginning to end. We didn't realize we had 24" studs and bought this fort which is 16". Customer service was so helpful and prompt in reworking the design (and the scratching ramp we also bought) to fit our 24" studs, and we only needed to exchange the canvases. They make the process so easy to put the tree up and it's even easier to change it around to fit your needs.

Only slight downside to note is our cats did not like the ramp-it was too wobbly for them. Maybe they would have liked it better if it was shorter like the 16" design is supposed to be. But that was easily solved by putting a little cat tree in its place and adding a shelf for them to get up the fort instead. We'll definitely be back to add on to this creation!

We got the deluxe cat fort installed fairly easily, and it looks great. Out younger cat, 10 months, is already in love with it! The one year old cat is a little more cautious, but has been on it a couple times, just 24 hours in. Can’t wait to get the rest installed.

Loved this idea so much when we first seen it so we decided to give it a try. Looking for something that would help our entirely indoor kitties expend their energy on. We ended up splitting the expedition up on opposite walls then we’re going to get a couple more pieces to tie it all together so our kitties have a full obstacle course to navigate. Installation has been fairly easy so far, even while putting the bridge over a hallway that didn’t follow the same stud spacing as the main walls. Happy to support an American made small business that offers good quality products that look and function amazingly!

The catio is still under construction, but the cats were already on the bridge pre-construction and tore into the complementary catnip.

While a bit pricey, it’s a really solid piece of cat furniture. It’s very stable with a couple cats on this on the different levels. I think I’m still going to put a rubber mat underneath just to provide additional friction to prevent it from tipping or wobbling. The included rubber pieces that go under the legs help but I want some additional piece of mind. The cats don’t like the fluffy material so I just covered it with a spare piece of fabric lying around so they can lie in the middle shelf. The bottom level is great for the cats wanting to hide. Assemby was a normal difficulty that took 30 min. As some people noted, the included fabric is very tight and I needed a second person to pull on it while I wrapped it tight around the cross pole to secure it.

Feels well built and sturdy. Install was slow due to making sure they were perfectly centred on studs, but by no means difficult and not a fault of the product.

I was missing a few pieces of hardware but did reach out and received good customer service.

Took a couple of weeks and bribing with treats but both cats are now using the pole.

The posts being wider than most of their trees was a learning curve for both of them, but after a week they became pros. They use it daily for their play 💖

Our cats love the cat climbing pole. They really like a tree-like pole to climb up. In hindsight, I probably should have ordered the version without the leaf shelves because they like to grab on and climb up and we have found the leaf shelves are just in the way where they have to maneuver around the shelves where we bought the three tier which is no problem for them to just grip and climb. I will say during installation we ran into an issue where we did not have a reliable tool to find the stud widths. We tried a magnetic tool and the usual tools that beep with a LCD screen. Both were too inaccurate for this installation where the two screws for the anchor require a level of accuracy. I finally found a tool that was very accurate where it lights up with blocks to show you the exact location and width of the stud where our studs were 5 blocks wide. I only knew this existed when I ran into the problem we had where one of my screws skidded off the sided of the stud and I did not realized it and the friction resulted in a burning smell which freaked us out if we had spared a fire in our wall. I only found this tool after we were freaked out any my g/f had a panick attack where I watched multiple youtube videos from this company where one video was a guy showing how to do custom layouts where he had a tool that had the lit up blocks. So, I was like WHOA...I NEED THAT. Once I got that, then setting up everything was easy. We used this climbing pole as the starter for them to climb to get onto the other shelves and bed we bought as shown in the picture. I will say though that the other issue we encountered as we tried to do our due diligence to plan before we buy was with the assumption each stud was 16 inches apart. Unfortunately, with inaccurate stud finding tools, we did not find out until we got this awesome stud finding tool that her studs were not 16 inches apart. So, we could not use the 18inch shelf and hammock bed we bought because those assumed 16 inch studs. So, now those are just sitting in the closet since we cannot use them. :(

but in any event, we love this climbing pool, but please make sure you get the stud finding tool that had the lit up blocks so you have an accurate assessment of your stud locations and distance they are apart. Lesson learned that I hope saves others what we ran into unfortunately where we cannot use two pieces we bought.

I have the Deluxe Fort and the crossing for my 2 Ragamuffin Kittens. The love to hang out on the wall and the furniture is beautiful and well made. My concern is that even now, at 9 months, my orange mega-floof is getting too big for the 16 in spans.

Elexis at Cat. Creations designed the perfect wall (she was very professional, highly patient, and provided just exquisite customer service). I live in Hawaiʻi so my order (4 large boxes) had to be shipped about 5000 miles. The packaging was top-notch and absolutely nothing was broken (it would take a lot to break these products; they are super-sturdy). The directions were excellent, though I couldʻve used more detail. But Elexis and Mike (owner) have infinite patience and helped me.

Caution: Make damn sure your wall studs are strong enough to hold the weight of these products, plus happy, leaping cats. My studs are metal and I had to hire a contractor to put up a piece of plywood over the wall and the shelves, etc. were installed onto the plywood.

I did receive extra materials that I didnʻt order. I did not receive an offer for reimbursement, just a suggestion that I could buy more products to use up the extras. This actually worked for me as I had extra plywood, so my cat, Pebbles, now has 2 walls ʻo fun! Additionally, I had a LOT of hardware left over (screws, etc.) - not sure why as nothing has fallen down...yet... - but was told just to keep it. I have no use for it. Also, still have one extra piece that I was told just to keep (no offer of reimbursement).

All-in-all, SUPER HAPPY with the results and am SO GLAD I found Catastrophic Creations!!

We installed The Canyon yesterday it is just so beautiful!! It fits perfectly in our living room over our couch. Kitties were intrigued as soon as we were done. The directions are so clear. We will definitely order again.

It's a lot of money! So it seems. Even though we have a decent income but it still feels like a lot of money when I was debating whether to get it or not. However, after we received the set and put it up. We feel so thankful that we took the plunge. As many have said, the quality is amazing. It's so visually pleasing that it feels like an installation art for me. However, the most important thing is that our cat loves it. He started to play on it when we were putting up the pieces and even fell asleep on one of the hemmock as the drill runs next to him. So much value. Best purchase ever.

I bought the slotted shelves and that and the photo gave me the impression I was getting 2 shelves but there is only one, to each their own $69.30 but more if you don't have a discount, So hope this helps anyone as dumb as me lol. I'll use it though seems like good quality and very firm.

I started looking at cat walls when we transitioned our cats from outdoors to full-time indoors. Yes, you can get a cat wall from Amazon or Wayfair for 1/3 the price, but I guarantee they won't be as high-quality as the Juggernaut. Every piece, from the shelving to the canvas to the hardware to the packaging, is clearly considered. The installation took about 5-6 hours over a couple of days with a lot of careful measuring and leveling, but everything fit together perfectly. One of our studs was a couple of inches off, so I had to get creative in a few spots. When the leaf shelves for the sisal pole were restocked, we added two of those as well (plus, another planter top / pot). It's create a fun place for the cats to play - and for them to stalk us.

I was originally concerned about whether our cats would make use of this bridge. Sure enough, our typically bold tabby, Sasha, approached with extreme caution. But after a few days of coaxing with treats, the bridge (and the hammock at the other end) have become favorite spots of hers. Our cats have been anxious about having their own space when we're all together in the living room, so this is a huge quality of life improvement for us all.

I'm impressed with the quality of the bridge components, and after fussing around with a few of the other products we ordered, it was intuitive to assemble. I was worried that I'd have to modify our window trim since we planned on spanning the window with the bridge, but the bridge planks were perfectly offset to fit in front of our trim.

Even though we got the largest bridge possible and it's mounted across a window, it still doesn't feel like it takes up too much space or closes off the room. We're all delighted with this bridge!

Every cat likes to get to the top and perch for awhile. That would be after scratching all the way to the top. They love to scratch this.

My 2 Siberians enjoy their activity wall immensely. So much so that I ended up adding more options and filling the entire wall. They absolutely love playing and napping on all the levels. I am most pleased with the quality and safety of the design. This kitty family is super happy with all that catastrophic cats has to offer!

I used this ramp as part of my cat wall, and my cats love it!

I could not be happier with the small garden I got. The unit arrived with a broken piece, and there was a mix up getting a replacement, but they fixed the mistake quickly. The instructions were clear and I put it up myself in just a couple hours. It looks so much nicer than the old carpeted tree I had, and I’ve already gotten lots of compliments.

Watch the videos first, they help so much! I wish we would have watched the videos first because it would have saved us some trials and errors on our walls. Once we did Old putting up the mounts became easier. But I will say with having an older house and not knowing how many layers of plaster/ dry wall we had that we had to get 3” screws to hit our studs. Everything is holding up very well though.
We have 14 cats and all of the parts are holding to the companies standards. Our kittens run all over them. They love having the pole by the door to see people eye to eye and try to play with us. Our older heavier cats are relearning how to climb and like having areas by the window to lounge and to watch bird. I recommend these for anyone with multiple cats that need space to roam and climb.

Purchased the 3-tier slanted cat scratcher and it looks beautiful on the opposite wall from my previously purchased cat bridge! These items are so well made, so beautiful and add sophistication to the room. About to make my third purchase which will include adding cat shelves to either end of this scratcher. Please consider this if your cats will need to jump to get to this item, as my cats do, as there isn't much landing space otherwise. Overall, very happy with both of my purchases and support has been nothing short of amazing helping me plan out my next purchase! Can't stop spoiling my 2 cats, Jack and Rose 🚢

These floating shelves were the perfect solution for the vision I had for Louie's indoor playground. They were easy to install and sturdy (he weighs 13lbs). I need a few more to complete the vision I have in mind since he is struggling to make it from the base to the next shelf. But once he's up there he loves it. I definitely recommend this as a low profile design option that provides a lot of fun climbing and scratching options for your fur baby.

I started out with some shelves, something simple since it’s my first catastrophic creations purchase and I was really pleased with the quality and the ingenuity creating a really simple design that is functional for my Maine coon 23 pounds. She’s walked on them a couple of times, but I never had my camera handy to catch a picture. The picture shows my first installation and in the future I may be moving the one on the left up a little and installing a climbing pole next to the bookcase. I have lots of ideas for the rest of my walls. My apartment is small, but I have 9 foot ceiling. The included drillbit, driver bit and proper screws made it so easy
