My cats would make short work of cardboard, but I still like the idea.

And what do you do if it's vet time and your cat goes "nah bro" and stays deep in the guts of this thing?

@FurLife 5 ай бұрын

Using something your cat loves to encourage them to come out is your best bet. Treats, toys, catnip, etc. You can also spend time getting your cat comfortable going into their carrier so they're less anxious about the idea. We've got a great article on our site about this: www.preventivevet.com/cats/cat-carrier-stress-tips You can even do some clicker training and teach your cat to come to you on cue. It's a lot of fun!

Thanks so much Tytiana! I believe Chris bought those on Amazon, but you can also probably find them at Lowes or Home Depot. 😊

Hey..mind asking what you used to secure the boxes to the wall? Great job btw..i was looking for inexpensive way i can make cat condo for my cats.

@FurLife 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you and glad you like it! Chris used duct tape to secure his condo to the walls. You can see the supplies he used and download a "schematic" for the DIY cat condo here: www.preventivevet.com/cardboard-box-diy-cat-condo Let us know if you have any other questions!

Is it secured to the wall?

@FurLife 26 күн бұрын

Yes, Chris secured the boxes to the wall with heavy duty duct tape. My guess is that it may not do the trick for every size cat, so would start with a smaller arrangement and then build up if it is sturdy enough for your cat.
