Scrap wood Kitty Condo. Built from blow down 4x4s, 2x4s, and 3/4" ply from Hurricane Rita Damage. The photos were taken after one of the legs was re-wrapped due to cat wear. (She loves this thing). I completed this project early on in my time here at BT3Central.
It's not straight as the 4x4 has continued to warp over the last few years, and the middle shelf is off kilter (I noticed my measurements were off and decided if the cat didn't care, neither did I...)
This was a fun project. The top tier is well padded, and the fabric covering it is sort of a soft, fuzzy blanket stuff, that kitty loves laying on. The legs and all uprights are wrapped in 3/8" sisal rope, that is pinned and hot glued in place. I used headless pins to insure she doesn't catch a claw while scratching it. The carpet used was a throw out remnant from a flooring contractor in my area...
The wood work on this was the quick and easy part. And even upholstering it in carpet was fine. Wrapping that much sisal good and tight was a fairly painful process, and I ended up using an old pair of riding gloves to protect my hands while doing that work...
