Aw, its great to see Boo and Amy getting along well The pictures are great, and I just love that perch, I should get one like that for my kitty She would just love it...when she gets bigger of course.

Ny neighbor and I built that perch and it needs recovering now as they have really used it a lot! We built Rie one the other day and I am waiting for her to post pictures of it finished but here is one of it just cut out and propped up....

The round part is one of those spools electrical wire comes on and if you go to your local lumber yard where they sell wire, they will give you one if they have a empty spool... or know any electricians. They just throw these away when they are done with the wire... I had to buy the 4X4 and "L" brackets but we had everything else. You cover them however you like.

Oh wow, that's a great idea, and my workplace has many many plywood reels that I could use for the bottom to start with So did you by the carpet and staple it onto the wood?

Wow, that's beautiful, Laura! Fantastic work there.

We already had the carpet that was scraps from a construction sight that was being thrown away and already had the staples/staple gun. The cats that it was made for are delclawed so the posts were covered with fabric but with claws, sisal rope works GREAT, you just wrap and wrap and wrap.. If you work where you can get your hands on them get one spool for the bottom and one for the top, just take it apart and use the wooden circles. Any padding and fabric will cover the perch where they will lay and I PROMISE you, the kitties do not care if it is perfect or not, color coridinated or not.

Finished it looks like... (shhhhh.. don't tell Rie I posted this but it is still at my house in this picture and she was here to take it home.)
