Kittycat tower of babel
« on: October 04, 2008, 10:34:35 PM »
     Four water-damaged 20 gallon fiber-board drums from work...some zipties and duct tape...a sabre saw and a sixpack and I have...Viola!

Doesn't look like much yet, but I'll paint it  ;)

Just secure it to the ceiling as well, or all the cats go up to the top level, get into a scuffle, and the thing will follow the history of the original.

Carpet remnants?

A little glue?

Amateur.  Any true slave of the Furry Masters knows that only the best Sisal Rope will serve as a point to sharpen the claws and climb the structure.

Second the vote on securing the tower to the ceiling.  'Tiss truely amazing what terror six pounds of Queen can induce in 4x her weight in Toms when she's been ambushed in the litterbox by those same Toms.

I stand corrected.

I will submit to the twenty lashes.

I am not worthy.

I hope your cats enjoy your (their) tower. I have had many scratch toys and whatnot for mine and they still prefer to destroy the couch and carpet.

Ooo, I have an idea! Wrap it in bubble wrap, get the video cam and let kitty have at it.   :laugh:

Could be some AFV $ in it for you. =D

I have an outside kitty tower for our cats. 

Come to think of it, I have several of them - actually, hundreds, and they have these things sticking out to the side that the kitties can walk out on  =D

Sometimes the kitty towers fall over, though, and I cut them up and burn them in the stove.

Ya know...

That looks a lot like an oversized version of the Polish Cannons I assembled as a kid.

Wonder how much hairspray it would take to fuel that thing?   =D
