Homemade tree for the BIG BOY
Homemade tree for the BIG BOY
None of our numerous store-bought cat trees were ever large enough for our 16lb boy, so I grabbed an old area rug and plywood scraps I had and took matters into my own hands.
It's about 70% compete, I'm gonna add at least a platform on top of the post, and my partner wanted a cat hammock, so I gotta figure out where/how to incorporate that.
Lemmy know what you think!

This is something that would be great for our 26lb mix. We don't know yet what he's a mix of, but we think it may be Bengal or Chausie. I need to flex my handy skills, and this feels like the purrfect way. Thanks for sharing!
I'd recommend using something like 3/8 ply, instead of the 3/4 I used, you'll save a ton of weight. For joining vertical and horizontal surfaces I used a few, small L-brackets and a couple blocks that doubled as reinforcement
For the record, if you go to carpet stores you can frequently get discounts by getting discards, or like, broken packs of the tiles.
The trouble is, the scraps aren’t always what you’re looking for.
