What types of wall are good for mounting a cat shelf system?

Of all the kinds of walls we are asked about for mounting cat shelving, cat perches, floating shelves and the other types of wall mounted units for cats that we sell, I have yet to come across a type of wall that we cannot assist with. So far the most common kinds of wall are sheetrock, concrete, stone, brick, plaster walls and we have even assisted wit ha corrugated metal wall for mounting our cat furniture onto.


It makes a big difference though whether we send you hardware for a sheetrock wall compared to plaster or brick wall. Each has its own specific mounting hardware. But worse case scenario, if you tell us the wrong wall type, a quick trip to your local home depot or lowes will have you headed in the right direction with the correct type of mounting screws, bolts or anchors.


Typically the screws we send will hold 250lbs per screw, but our units are not tested for those kinds of loads. We usually test our units to hold anywhere from 80lbs to 150lbs depending upon the model you purchase. We want none of your cats to be in danger from using our cat furniture, so it is important we are over cautious with our products.


We have 5 new products we are launching this week if we can find the time to get on top of them due to work load. We have a brand new floating shelf and floating basic catwalk design we are so very close to releasing. You will not be able to see any type of bracket holding this style of shelf up, so we are excited to see the type of response we get from this product.


We have a brand new window perch design, far better than 99% of anything we see out there on the market. But ours is handcrafted and of excellent quality, we are just wrapping up the last minor fixes on this item which should be out later this week.
We are turning out bigcat (4 foot long cat shelf) and our tomcat (our 3 foot long cat shelf) into floor models, so you can place them close to a window sill and have your cats jump up and down as they wish.


Also in the works is a Yin-Yang Cat shelf that will wipe out the buddha cat shelf when it is completed, this will really be a design statement from catwalkforkitty.com when it is ready for showing which may be a few more weeks yet. We have been asked for litter box covers etc. which we will get to, but unless we are asked by the masses to jump on it, we are following the flow of inquires for now.


Be well cat lovers!
