That is awesome. :Dthe pre fabs are obviously much cooler looking, but i built mine out of scrap. the carpet i got cost like $8 and i still have enough left for another shelf and a few 1x4s that cost very little. the prefabs cost $150-200, im about $60 in, including the staple gun that i had to buy and i have more wood (flat pieces i can fashion into shelves AND 1x4s for support stands) more carpet, more rope to wrap around wood for scratching and more carpet. the cats love it as they can get up high and be king of the post. ill prolly buy a brand new razor for cutting the carpet from now on. thanks for the tip. like i said, im prolly going to make this one a little taller with another higher shelf and then start on another separate one and figure out a cool way to connect them. i rub catnip on them every week or so just to keep the cats interested in doing their scratching there. its all super low tech too, L brackets and wood screws do the trick for support and i use staples to keep the carpet in place
My neighbor had a cat condo her boyfriend rigged up years back--There were two pre-fab condos on either side of the couch/loveseat, and were connected with a two-by-four or something between them. Kept the cats off the couch a bit. ;)
