Default DIY Scratch Post

Howdy Folks!

This was my next project after those window perches I posted... DIY scratch post...

My kitties loved it... best of all, cost to me abt RM25 only

(Rope = RM15, plank = RM8.5, Mouse = RM1.2)

Also posted some photos of my kitties room, they r indoor cats & I don't cage them so at nite, they sleep in a converted toilet upstairs... complete with ventilation fan, plenty of shelves & the box is their favourite sleeping place, box & shelves DIY too...

ps: The scratch post was a work-in-progress... that's why some shots 1 post wrapped with rope, some both

Nice thot but I much prefer everyone post their DIYs here so that we can get ideas from each other... would like to see what others have done, especially low-cost projects

Next project - ceiling height cat tree ... saw 1 in Pet Safari costing RM950, but I think DIY should be less than RM200 ...

Cool

To answer some of the questions:

1. The rope - start by hammering 1 end in with a short (1/2 inch nail), then wrap around TIGHT... hammer another nail at the end. When finish, every 8~10 circles, add a nail...

2. Rope can get from ACE hardware or other hardware shops...

For the toilet seat, all you have to do is wrap an old t-shirt on it & close the seat, should be tight enough.

Sorry can give tips but cannot take orders, not enough time to complete my own projects as it is...
