I love the spiral ones from Sweden.

Do they go down those AND up?

Seems like they'd really hate going down one but not mind going up is all I'm askin'. My brain, as usual is warped.

Hey this is great, we're planning on building one for ours, or rather have loosely discussed it since he keeps jumping out and then can't get back in.

Crazy. It would never have occurred to me that such a thing exists.

These are great! I always wanted to build something that goes around a room up by the ceiling. I have a cat who hates the floor.

This rocks.

BTW, if you ever see a 'coon trapped in a dumpster, please improvise one of these so s/he can get out. Just a 2x4 or a tree branch leaned from the bottom of the dumpster to the top will do. And, if you're in the States, please DO NOT call the State DOW or DNR or a "nuisance control" company, as they will most likely kill the 'coon, and are most likely required by State law to do so.

This has been another Animal Lover PSA. Thanks.

Those Swedish people sure do love their cats. Also, this reminds me of The Cats' House.

THanks, Specklet, that's exactly what I was thinking of!

It's the law over here. Honest. "Love thy kitty-cat or pay double on taxes."

You guys don't know, do you? C'mon - isn't this why they have to call the fire dept?!

I'd think Kitty would have a hard time walking a straight line after descending this.

Oh man, those are so cool! I've seen indoor shelves and such but not outside stuff.
