I've lived in Joey's 4-room BTO at Blk 522, Compassvale Crescent in Sengkang for three years now. My human is a decent cat parent โ buys good wet food, opens the window when the NEA guy sprays for mosquitoes, and occasionally apologises when I knock his mug off the dining table. But Joey has always had a thing for cat furniture. Every few months, a new box arrives at our doorstep, and for about 48 hours I grace it with my presence before it becomes either my permanent bed or kindling.
This time around, Joey decided enough was enough. He wanted one proper cat tree that could handle my 8kg of British Shorthair fluff, survive my neighbour Mochi's occasional visiting claws, and โ here's the painful part โ actually look decent in our open-plan living room. So he shopped around. And by "shop around" I mean he spent three weeks cross-referencing Shopee listings, reading Carousell reviews from people in my same estate, and watching too many unboxing videos on TikTok at 2am.
Below is the full breakdown. I sat through every assembly session (I supervise โ it's important someone does). I knocked things over intentionally to test stability. I even let Joey take photos for his "research." Consider this my official verdict from the only expert whose opinion matters.
