cat condo

This one is for all the cat lovers out there. I have a great project for you. It’s easy, inexpensive and your little furry guys will absolutely LOVE it! But maybe not as much as you will!

This guy wants a cat condo.
 

I’m actually fine with spending all kinds of money on my pets, but why spend any money on a cat bed when your cat is just as happy – more likely happier – in a box.

Sure, all those other DIY cat beds out there are a hell of a lot prettier, but I guarantee they are a hell of a lot harder to put together than this one. And for all you that kind of suck at DIYing – like myself! – trust me, this is a very manageable one. Plus, it will only take like five seconds to finish.

Here is what you need:

1) a box (preferably big enough for your cat)

2) an old sheet

Here are the steps:

1) flip box to side

2) put sheet inside

TA-DA!

Cat Condo!

Now, watch as your cat comes sniffing around and then makes himself right at home inside.

He has claimed it as his own.
 

It also works if you keep the box upright and put the sheet at the bottom. A cat may actually prefer this, but I like the feeling of accomplishment I get whenever I see my cats sleeping inside. I’m selfish like that.

Some people may get all fancy and put an actual cushion inside, but I have found that an old sheet works just fine.

You can also decorate your box to your heart’s content, but I am keeping mine just the way it is. After all, why does it need to be fancy when I am just going to hide it in another room whenever we have guests.  

WARNING: this project will depend on your box. You have to find the right fit for your cat. I tried to do this with a much smaller box but with a sheet, it was just too small for our cats. Yes, they sat in it but that wasn’t good enough. We found the perfect box for about $300. Sure, the leaf blower that was inside is very nice but the box was top notch as a cat condo and I suspect it will get more use.
