An animal climbing arrangement includes a two-dimensional appliqué and at least one shelf for attachment to a wall. The two-dimensional appliqué is adapted for flush attachment to the wall and includes a graphical representation of at least a portion of a support structure. The at least one shelf provides a perch for a pet and is visually associated with the support structure of the two-dimensional appliqué such that the at least one shelf appears to be supported by the support structure in a two-dimensional view.
