Alrighty all you kitty lovers out there! Most of you know me by now, but to recap, I've got 2, 4 year old cats, and 1, 5 month old, boxer. The cats have never had a dog around, so the last couple months have been interesting to say the least! Boxers are very active and he constantly wants to play with them. He's starting to get bigger than they are so the cats would rather stay away most of the time.
We're moving into a new condo soon (yeah! Our first owned place!) and I want to make sure the cats have a place that is "theirs". We are able to train Clydas (the boxer) to stay away from areas and rooms, so we think we can train him to stay away from a kitty condo.
Which ones are the best? We don't have time to build one right now. Boxers tend to be pretty tall too (medium to large dogs), so I want to make sure they are out of his line of sight as well, so I'm looking for a tall one.
What do you use? Do you have any sites that have good discounts on this stuff? The one I liked for the house ran $250!!!!
Thanks!

Thanks Donna! If you get a chance, can you see if the sites have what you're describing and post a link to it (or e-mail me with one, but I think other cat lovers might like it as well)? That sounds great! :) I definately want them to have room to sleep.
And thanks for the tip about cedar! All of our cabinets in the new kitchen are cedar! We'll have to keep the cats away from those ASAP (though they don't really claw up anything - except for the back of an old couch we're not taking with us, but I think it's becuase they smell the other dogs and cats that we've had in the past).

I have seen a couple of really nice ones at Costco lately for around $100. I know it's a lot of money, but they last for years. I think mine is about 5-6 years old and the cats have used the heck out of it.
If you're familiar at all with using Ebay, I have seen so many awesome ones on there that you can buy or bid on, I think a lot of them are home made.. I have yet to win one, but I did buy a cat tent on there for 15$ that my kitties absolutely loved! Here's a link if you want to have a look.
