At Home, Cats

Homemade cat scratchy tree thingy.

For Christmas I decided that the cats needed a new cat scratchy tree thingy. Their’s was falling apart and I’d already re-covered it in carpet which then got shredded in to tiny pieces all over the floor.

I had a good look on line and at 50 quid decided we couldn’t really afford a decent one and my Pops gave me an idea to transform an old pair of speakers he gave me years ago into a new one.

I bought some new posts, bolts and felt on Amazon. Total cost = £23.74

I cut the wires really short inside and removed all the sponge which was stapled in and then drilled the holes to bolt the posts in to. I then covered the inside and outside with the stick-on felt.
