Scratching post for the kitty.

So since I didn't want to pay $130 for the size scratching post I wanted I just decided to do it myself. With materials for 2 of them I spent $70 so it's a good deal and I get what I want.


At first I was going to leave the bottom platform stainded/finished but it ended being too slick when that was done so I went with carpet instead. It's not finished yet as there is another foot of sisal rope I haven't added to the top portion yet but here's what I've got so far and the cat was trying to scratch on it while I was taking pictures

sexy, going to knit two balls of catnip on the bottom?

If i had a house, I would build a carpeted track 12" below the crown moulding around the house.

That's a great looking post. Your kitty is lucky to have you for a daddy.

Thanks, I'll just be glad to get the top portion done. Wrapping that sisal rope takes forever. That's 4 hours for what's been done so far and I still have a foot to wrap on the top portion, but it's coming along nicely so far.

Damn that sisal is a bitch to glue on there Anyway, a little more progress.

Okay, it's finished

That looks great. Now just make sure they float in case you have another incident.

Too soon?

You see, the issue with that scratching post is that you have a cat.

Not an issue at all Besides, dogs are annoying as fuck.
