If you have a cat, you understand just how much time these four-legged felines invest snoozing. When they’re not playing, eating, or birdwatching, chances are your furry buddy is taking a snooze. If your feline frequently rests from a random nook inside your home, it might be time to raise their set-up with a cozy cat home.
Instead of buying a cat house from the animal shop, consider DIYing one yourself, which you can do with a piece of forgotten furniture: an old television set. If you or an enjoyed one has a classic television that’s headed for the thrift store, think about using it as your cat’s brand-new retreat.
After taking the electrical parts out, your cat has the ability to delve into the house through the opening where the television utilized to be. All that’s left now is to personalize your feline’s brand-new home. Cover plywood in fun decorative paper (we selected a fish pattern), use a cushion covered in material as the bed, and connect a scratch pad to the front.
Instructions
Dust the exterior:
Wipe down the exterior of the TV set with a dry fabric.
Get rid of the electrical elements:
Utilize a screwdriver to remove the back cover of the TV set. Get rid of all of the electrical parts so that you’re just left with the box. Discover your local e-waste recycling center to appropriately get rid of electronics.
Deep tidy the television set:
Spray the exterior of the TV set with wood cleaner and wipe with a dry cloth. Usage cotton swabs to clean finer information that a fabric can’t sufficiently get in between.
Embellish Plywood:
Wrap three pieces of plywood in decorative wallpaper (attempt peel-and-stick varieties) and place the pieces on the sides and back of your television set to create the walls of the cat house.
Make the bed:
Wrap fabric around a cushion and use a staple gun to keep it secure. Place the cushion on the bottom of the television set.
Include scratch pad:
Place a scratch pad into the base of the television (optional).
