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 made me smile, seems he liked it

Was it difficult to do? Stretch and attach the fabric?

I didn't really plan it, so sequencing building the frame vs attaching the carpet was a little annoying, but overall not bad at all.

This isn't the first one I've made for them, but I used spray adhesive on the first, which wasn't nearly effective enough. This time I used carpet adhesive, which was more cost effective and seems to be much more effective. Downside to that, though is that I had to wait 24 hours after carpeting a piece to attach it

Makes it’s harder to replace vs stapling it on, but it should also last longer since a little damaged part can be shaved down and it won’t make a section loose.
