Just to chime in.........
Whenever somebody is saying they want to declaw their cat, and the cat tree is too expensive, I like to point out that the cat tree in no way will cost as much as the declaw procedure
But thanks for not declawing!
You could consider, if you or your boyfriend, or father are handy, making your own. My dad made me a giant one for almost no cost, you just need some wood and some carpet.
OR why not get a horizontal corragated cardboard one? They work great and you can lean them up against the wall if you like ot make them vertical, they generally only cost 7-10 dollars, and cats love them, thye just destroy them a lot quicker.
Finally, it is probably just a kitten phase, not to say it'll be over soon, but def. not a long term thing, usually they outgrow the climbing people stage between ages 1-5
goodluck!
