Pets are firmly entrenched in our lives and it is now difficult to find a person who does not have a cat or dog in his house or apartment. In this article we will talk about cats. More precisely, not about them, but about where your furry friends live. Some owners put special sleeping mats for their pets, and some do nothing at all to improve the life of a cat or cat. A cat, like a human, must have its own home. Let it be small, but it should be.
Of course, you can not suffer, do not bother with unnecessary worries and buy a house for your pet in the store. But, as practice shows, the houses from the store after a while turn into separate parts, scattered throughout the apartment. Shop houses are not strong enough, and if your pet is active enough, he will quickly turn his home into a pile of plywood and ropes. Therefore, in this article we will talk about how to make a house for cats with your own hands.
Materials for making your own house of authorship are quite affordable and will not require significant financial costs from you. The amount you spend on the purchase of materials will be either equal to or less than the cost of the finished house. Almost everyone can make a house for a cat with their own hands. You need only a little free time and imagination. The house can have any shape you want, the main thing is that your pet is comfortable sleeping in it. If you can not decide on the form, then go shopping and look at the variety of cat houses.
If you wish, you can make an original house for a cat with your own hands out of the box. Yes, from an ordinary cardboard box from any household appliances. But such a house is suitable only for animals that lead a calm lifestyle. For a young and energetic cat, you need the most durable house that can withstand all the onslaught of your furry beast. A house for cats with your own hands should contain such a necessary element as a claw-point. Everyone probably knows the picture when a beloved cat is standing and sharpening its claws on an equally beloved sofa. In order to prevent this from happening, you need a claw tip.
To make a cat house with your own hands, you need plywood, small pieces of carpet, a plumbing plastic pipe, a thick rope and fasteners such as corners, screws and so on. When you decide on the shape of the future cat's dwelling, you can start assembling the house itself. As a child, for sure, many did birdhouses, and I think it’s not worth describing the process of assembling a house from plywood. The only thing to consider is that the carpet on the floor of the house is best glued before fixing the roof.
On a column that will serve as a claw point, it is advisable to make a small area. This is necessary so that your pussy can lie at the very top of its home and inspect its possessions. If there is no such platform, then its role is usually played by a cupboard or refrigerator. It is not clear how cats climb onto the refrigerator, but they do it pretty well. Naturally, the observation platform should be firmly fixed so that your cat does not fall with it and does not experience shock.
After the house is assembled, you need to beautifully arrange it outside. Usually they use a carpet for this, but again - your imagination in this matter is not limited by anything. The claw-post should be wrapped with a thick rope. You need to wrap it very tightly and the ends of the rope must be very well secured.
As you can see, making a house for cats with your own hands is very simple. This is a very exciting and creative process. And the result of your work will be surely appreciated by your home fluffy friend.
