Custom built cat condo/scratching post

Well we are going to be getting a kitten soon so I decided to whip out the powertools and build my own thinking it would be cheaper. Well $140 later and a new appreciation for carpeting I completed my project. Didn't save much but I like to think its much sturdier than a store bought made in china one.

 

I can build tank stands, and other furniture like there is no tomorrow but I also built one for my wife for all our foster kittens we take in.. well I am no carpet or rope person.. did not turn out like store bought.. lol

 

Here is my new work of art with a series of 3 progress shots from start of carpeting through completion. Not beautiful and seemless like a store bought and you can see where there are staples but Im thinking in time the carpet will fill in the stapled areas

 

well, I'm impressed! The kitten has a little condo! When are you getting your kitten?

 

Just realized the third picture didnt post



Plan on getting the kitten sometime in August. This summer is so busy and my wife and I are constantly away one weekends or longer, been enough of a headache with worrying about the reef temps no need to worry about the kitten too.

 

well, my goodness I complimented the previous posts and your final product is very impressive! That's one lucky kitten!

 

Post pics of the kittenfish too lol
I like the stand, I may get a little kitten to replace our cat that ran off.

 

Looks good. I've made a couple too. My parents' cat is a 20 pound male ragdoll and the ones in stores just aren't big enough for him.
