I’ve been seeing a lot of “how should I design my cat wall?” posts — I built something to help visualize layouts and would love your feedback

I’ve noticed tons of posts here where people are trying to figure out how to design their cat walls — like what height to place things, how far apart shelves should be, and how to make it safe for cats of different ages.
I’ve been working on a small side project that helps you visualize cat wall layouts in 3D, sort of like a digital sketchpad for cat rooms. I made it after seeing how many people struggle to plan things before drilling holes in their walls 😅
I’d love some honest feedback from folks who’ve actually built setups — what do you usually find hardest when planning?
Here is what it looks like at the moment. Thank you for your feedback in advance!

I designed and 3D printed a suspension bridge for my cat
My cat apparently needed infrastructure, so I designed and printed a little suspension bridge 😂 The planks and railings are threaded onto 550 paracord. This is a photo of my actual build.
I'm the maker behind Forest City Layers and sell the printable files, so disclosing that up front. The file pack starts with an eight-plank base; the longer bridge in this photo uses more planks. This is my own build, not a load-rated product.
Would your cat cross this or just sit at the entrance judging your work?

Cat wall for the kitties!
Here’s the cat wall that the ladies like to sit on…sometimes! We made them ourselves with a chunk of wood, some shelf brackets, and we considered putting some carpet on them but it didn’t look as good. Maybe the kitties would like the carpet but they like these so far!

Ceiling makes me nervous
Built this for my kitties, 3D printed the steps and then bought the beds and bridge off Etsy and painted everything to match. Had a contractor help me install. Drywall bulkhead with metal studs so we used 4x toggle bolts and I hung about 100lbs off bridge and bed for days before I let kitties up and I still block it when I’m not home and sometimes lay pillows around the bottom when I am home lol, but they love being up high! Ceiling are 10 feet so they are 8 feet off ground. Anyone else find this too scary? Everyday I think about taking the bridge and ceiling part down because I’m nervous they will fall

Built my daughter a cat wall for her two besties.
My daughter has two indoor cats. She asked me if I could build her a cat wall to keep them entertained. I put carpet strips on the shelves for grip. How did i do ?.

Cat Tower Options
Our baby boy (11 year old black DSH) has never showed any interest in any enrichment bought for him, with the exceptions of a cardboard scratching tray (a favourite), a soft plastic tube for him to run around in, and Da Bird (But not for long, he becomes frustrated and leaves). He has ignored a couple of cat towers and other toys, and we are loathe to spend lots of money on stuff he probably won't like.
He has also enjoyed a hang-crocheted mouse (run so ragged and loved so much he still enjoy splaying with the associated string)
What he HAS liked, however, is climbing the side of the mattress when it was propped up against the wall. Has anyone got any suggestions for a slim, fabric perch that he might enjoy? Perhaps something where he can hide at height? We own the place, so we can screw stuff into the walls, but it's a very small apartment, so something that goes up-and-out is probably a requirement.

Seeking reviews and recs on cat running wheels. My young orange needs to RUN.
I'd like good quality under $200. Does that exist? Cat tax included.

Fabric climbing wall
I want to have a section of wall for them to scale up. Even the cheapest carpet at home Depot would be 50$. Any other recommendations that I can use? There's that sorta office carpet type stuff but does it have enough for them to grab onto??
