DIY – Scratch Tower

Hey everyone, with no kittens at the moment I decided to finish a project i started back in February.

Well our resident cats got a Litter Robot as their Christmas present. ( I was probably more for me but we are not telling them that hehe) This was the best investment I have bought, It is the best automatic litter box and is worth its wait in gold.

Now onto the scratch tower. The Robot cam in a huge box that had tons of carboard packaging.

We decided to cut the box up and all the packaging into 6 inch square pieces.

Now we bought some wood for the base and covered it in carpet. Here are some in progress pics

Then the fun of drilling holes through the center of each cardboard square to fit on a rod i bought to go through the tower.

Here is the finish product. It stands about 3 feet tall.

Ashe & Sitara have yet to use it as far as we have seen, but i have seen rub her head up against it.

Meow Moments: New Kittens will not arrive till at least next week, I will give an update next week once I know when a new group could arrive.

    A little catnip would change that.

    Great idea for old cardboard boxes.

    This is an awesome way of repurposing the Litter-Robot shipping box. Thank you for sharing this!!

    Totally worth it if you have the time to cut the squares :)

    Thanks I couldn’t just get rid of it and then this idea poped in my head, was a bit of time to cut the squares but it came out great. PS the robot is a godsend if only it would work on the foster babies I would get one for their room as well
