DIY Tall Cat Tree for Under $70 That's Easy to Build with Minimal Tools
Computers Cats and More
Finally built my cats their very own cat tree/scratching post/shelf. I think it turned out pretty well all things considered. To buy something half as nice as this it probably would have cost me $100. Plus it would be even more wobbly. 😹 It is pretty cool how versatile simple things like carpet, 2x4s, screws, and staples are. I use some of the same design ideas for my scratching posts.
