My catio builder just came by for a delivery of items to drop off. Plus started the first tunnel. (My Catio company has to travel in to me, so it’s a few weeks between when they come out.) but they are the best, so I’m happy to wait given the quality of the work they do. And the custom bubbles are done! Will be so exciting to have those go up. I hope my cats 🐈⬛ use them. 😭
I hated the idea of just tossing the cat try my kitties love so much, but I also HATED the idea of replacing these torn up legs with MORE junk that they'll just tear apart again! Solution- some 2 inch pvc piping, flat caps, 1/4" drill bit, and some adhesive scratch pad stuff for furniture. The pvc is soft enough for the screws that came with it to thread themselves in. Pro tip- use an actual Allen bit and a drill when putting it back together. Doing it by hand would have been more than possible, but exhausting. Total cost for pipes (these came in 2 foot sections so balance that against possibly just buying longer and chopping) and caps $30ish. The carpet (left over from already doing the furniture) $18. So at about $50 I could have just gotten another tree, but this saves the trash and means it'll last as long as I replace the carpeting now and then.
Next up- recarpeting the box.
We have this awesome bunker space that we'd love to make accessible for our cats, but we don't know how to help them get up there! Does anyone know any combination of shelves or posts that would fit in this corner?
Our ceiling is 9.5' (114") high, so some longer posts I've seen won't be able to anchor off of it, so I was thinking about something wall mounted, but open to all suggestions! Thank you!
