Build Your Own Cat Tree And Save Your Furniture
Articleby Shelly Begarowicz
Why would you want to build your own cat tree? Let’s see if this sounds familiar to you. Your cats scratch on your furniture to pieces. They break things when they climb on your entertainment center or jump from dresser to chest of drawers. There are millions of little snags in your curtains from your loveable fur balls seeing who can get to the top first.
Oh, the joys of being owned by cats.
You know the solution is a cat tower for them to romp on. Something that you can rub catnip into so it will be even more fun to climb on than YOUR STUFF! But most of the stuff you’ve seen is the wrong size, wrong color or just plain ugly. And to add insult to injury the cost of cat tree furniture is insane these days. Even a small kitty condo can run you several hundred dollars. How will you afford it?
But what if you build your own cat tree? What if you could make the perfect feline playground. All the sofa scratching would end. Long gone would be the days of cat’s lounging on top of the TV or knocking your stuff off shelves so they’ve got room to stretch out.
With a good modular set of plans you could design the perfect feline playground. One that exactly fits the space you have available. If you build it yourself it will fit in perfectly with the decor of your home. For example, if you live in a log cabin you can build a rustic cat tree. Live in a sleek downtown high rise no worries… build a lovely contemporary cat tower OR perhaps a curvy lotus cat tree OR a posh cat palm tree. When you make your own cat tree the sky’s the limit.
Best of all when you build your own cat tree it only costs a fraction of what it would cost to buy similar cat furniture (if you can even find it). This means you really can afford to make your cats happy and have that cool cat condo you’ve always wanted.
Bonus! By giving your cats the exercise and stress reducing space to just “be cats” that they need, they’ll be happier and healthier kitties. This means fewer trips to the vet and more savings for you.
So, what if you don’t build your own cat tree? What will the impact be on your cats? Your Home? Your pocket book?
