Christmas is approaching, and this year, no question of forgetting our cat under the tree! For those who appreciate recycling and DIY beginners, here are 5 DIY ideas to please your furry friend.
1. A cat tree
We know our cats’ strong taste for boxes and confined spaces in general. Wine crates will therefore be perfect for this DIY project that combines usefulness and recycling.
What you need:
- Two wine crates
- Three boards: one large for the base, and two small ones for the sides
- A spool of sisal rope
- A cushion to place in the top crate
- A piece of carpet (optional), to place on the base
- A drill-driver to fix everything together
2. A fishing rod
For those of you who are less handy, here’s the solution: a fishing rod! An ultra-easy toy to make that will let you play with your cat while awakening its hunter instinct.
What you need:
- A rod (any material, as long as it’s not sharp)
- A string, which will be securely attached to the rod
- A cork, ribbons, pompoms, feathers, little pouches of catnip... Feel free to let your imagination run wild
3. A scratching post
- A short board
- A larger board
- Sisal rope
- A drill-driver to fix the two boards together.
4. A super Ziggy house
Our Ziggy cardboard boxes turn into little houses. Don’t hesitate to jazz it up a bit to make your cat’s house the most beautiful one. We especially love this one created by a member of the Ziggy Family.
5. A tipi
If your cat enjoys tranquility and likes having its own hiding spots, this tipi will certainly make it very happy!
What you need:
- 5 wooden rods, to be securely fixed together
- A canvas or cotton cover
- Rope, to tie the rods
- A safety pin, to fix the cover.
