Before I began my zero waste journey, I used to buy cat gear like Christmas came everyday for cats … which is why I ended up with seven cat trees in an one-bedroom apartment. I’ve since learned that sourcing well-made, durable cat gear is not only good for the wallet but also vital for the environment. I’ve also learned that not all cat trees are made equal. To help you avoid the chemical-laden and the wobbly, I’d like to share with you, friend, some do’s and don’ts of buying cat trees.
