I'm thinking (still) of making a tunnel for Fister, he would love that! I just need some kind of "rings", bottom preferably flat, to put he material around. One day....

If any of you have ideas of what I could use, I'd appreciate it.

If you go to a hardware store or home supply store you can get something like this?

You have to pay attention to the ends that have the spiral wire poking out and check out the material. DO NOT BUY THE INSULATED KIND! That has fiberglass in it.

Check around construction sites. They often throw out things that can be used as cat toys.

They use a cardboard tube where they place steel rebar and fill it with cement, to make pillars/columns- Most round cat houses are made with that, they cover it with pieces of rug. When they cut the tubes down to size they will throw out the excess pieces. Try talking to the workers or foreman and asking in they have extra! You will usually find it where they are pouring concrete for slabs and floor!

Old rug pieces!

I have an old rug piece that I put on the inside of the front door!

Old wood from woodworking shops. that is harder to come by because of the recycling laws, some places will sell it to other companies to shred to make press board, that board that looks like it was shredded and glued together.

Some places that make furniture will toss out boards of scrap the you can nail together, carpet and you have a cheap scratching post or hideout!
