DIY Cat Tree

[reishka]

After being cooped up all last weekend because of the blizzard, and then out of commission for a few days due to a terrible upper respiratory infection, I had the itch to do something with my day off today. So I did. Locke and Sash have a cat tree in the living room, but they’ve been naughty kitties lately and they’ve been jumping up on my countertops (even though they know better). So I made them a cat tree in the hopes that they’ll play in the tree rather than play on my counters.

All in all, it cost about $90 to make. I spent about $80 in tools, and I still had some materials left over. Not too bad, when most cat trees go for over $120.

Assembling upstairs, since it’d never make it up the stairs out of the workshop if I didn’t. Please excuse my messy living room…

Done! They seem to like it so far…
