Cat Lover Creates a Fake Tree For Cats And It Looks Incredible and Realistic
Rob Rogalski knows how to turn a tree into more than a tree. The sculptor and illustrator has built permanent and temporary tree installations that work as shelves, props, reading nooks, and cat towers, and one summer he created a whimsical fake tree for a friend’s house that looks almost too real.
The result is part artwork, part cat playground, and completely hard to ignore. With a comfortable cat tucked inside the branches, it is easy to see why this installation keeps getting attention.
By the time you reach the end, you may be looking around your own home for a place to put one.
This is some seriously impressive work.

This tree looks even more convincing up close.
They're sitting there like the kings of the household.

It's like Alice in Wonderland all over again!

The process looks tedious, but the outcome is so worth it.

Here's another example of Robert's work, which is a shelf for a girl's bedroom.

He clearly has a talent for making furniture feel magical.
So much work must go into creating one of these; he has all my respect.

He is currently taking commissions in case you'd also like a tree installed in your home!
He might be getting a few new commission requests after this one.
Before you’re done admiring his fake tree, see how a hollow fits his cat’s face.
