{"product_id":"the-third-perch-cat-tree","title":"The Third Perch | 72 cm Cat Tree with Jute Scratching Post and Condo","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-narrative\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cat tree is furniture that has to survive an animal, and most of them are designed as if the animal were decorative. The Third Perch is built the other way round: a 72 centimetre frame with a 53 by 33 centimetre footprint, a jute-wrapped scratch post that takes claw damage instead of the sofa, a raised perch with a removable cushion, and an enclosed condo for the hours when a cat wants to be off the floor and out of sight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight is calibrated. Seventy-two centimetres puts the perch at window-sill level, which is where most indoor cats actually want to sit, and it keeps the centre of gravity low enough that a hard landing does not tip the frame. The base is wide relative to the height for the same reason. Anti-toppling hardware is included, because a tree that can fall is a tree a cat stops trusting, and once a cat stops trusting a structure it never uses it again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe materials are chosen for wear rather than for show. Jute rope on the post gives the resistance a claw needs, flannel on the resting surfaces gives warmth without static, and the cushion in the perch is removable so it can be washed instead of becoming a permanent fur reservoir. The condo has a raised rim that keeps draughts off a sleeping cat and gives it something to brace against when it turns around inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAssembly is the part buyers underestimate. The frame ships flat with the posts, platforms and hardware separated by part number, and it goes together with the included tool in about twenty minutes. Everything a cat touches is replaceable: the rope post, the cushion, the perch cover. That is the difference between furniture you keep for a decade and a cardboard scratcher you replace every season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA cat does not want more toys. It wants a place that is higher than the floor and belongs to it.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"margin:28px 0;border:0;border-top:1px solid #e6e6e6;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-features\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you are actually buying\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;line-height:1.7;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color:#1a1a1a;\"\u003e✦ \u003c\/strong\u003e72 cm frame at window-sill height, where indoor cats actually choose to sit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;line-height:1.7;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color:#1a1a1a;\"\u003e✦ \u003c\/strong\u003eJute-wrapped scratching post that absorbs claw damage instead of your sofa.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;line-height:1.7;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color:#1a1a1a;\"\u003e✦ \u003c\/strong\u003eEnclosed condo with a raised rim for draught-free sleeping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;line-height:1.7;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color:#1a1a1a;\"\u003e✦ \u003c\/strong\u003eRaised perch with a removable, washable cushion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;line-height:1.7;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color:#1a1a1a;\"\u003e✦ \u003c\/strong\u003eWide 53 by 33 cm base plus anti-toppling hardware for a stable structure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;line-height:1.7;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color:#1a1a1a;\"\u003e✦ \u003c\/strong\u003eReplaceable rope post, perch cover and cushion for long-term use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;margin:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 53 x 33 x 72 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTiers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerch size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 x 30 x 10 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stable panel frame with flannel cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScratch post:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jute rope wrapped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondo:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enclosed, raised rim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCushion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Removable, washable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e 53 x 33 cm, weighted proportions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anti-toppling device included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAssembly:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flat pack, tools included, about 20 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two colour and dispatch configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:9px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vacuum surfaces, wash cushion, replace rope post when frayed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-applications\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it belongs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlats where the cat cannot go outside, small living rooms that need vertical space more than floor space, multi-cat homes where one animal needs a high retreat from another, and any household where the sofa has already lost a corner to claws.
