Even those who don't consider themselves trekkies will instantly be able to recognize the inspiration behind the Star Trek Cat Tree. These cat trees were created by Instructables user hatstand4510 and pay tribute to two of the series' iconic vessels: the USS Enterprise and the Romulan Bird-of-Prey.
Both of the trees are relatively easy to build, although you will need some DIY skills. Judging by the photos posted the the maker of the Star Trek cat tree, it's safe to say that cats love Star Trek. These cats stands are yet another example of the greatness that is functional geekiness. Here's hoping that pet stores get wise to these designs and start offering a line of nerdy cat trees. The Internet might lose it if a Millennium Falcon or TARDIS cat tree were ever created.
