The Central Tower
The central tower is the heart of Cat Tree City and the seat of Walter's power. It is a vertical city in its own right: the richest and most powerful cats strive to climb ever higher, vying in eccentricity to decorate their floor. Mechanical lifts pass through these microcosms one after another, each stranger than the last.
Only nobles and people of a certain rank are admitted. Commoners and the poor must remain in the suburbs that sprawl at its feet.
Known Floors
Upper floors of the tower reserved for the nobility, with palaces, lavish restaurants and Purr-ecious item shops, the favorite playground of adventurous Kittens.
