When we ran our recent giveaway for five Cattystacks designer feline climbers, mindful feline visitor Becky told me about the box building difficulties she as well as her other half hold, much to the pleasure of their four cats. She stated the giveaway influenced her to develop a new as well as bigger box tower for her cats.
Becky is a mechanical designer who states she’s known for taking different size boxes house for her kitties. After all, what feline doesn’t like boxes? however Becky as well as her other half took the whole box thing one step further, as well as made a decision to hold contests to see who can produce the most liked box designs. The judges, of course, are their four cats. The sky’s the limit on the construction; the only limitations are that the boxes need to be cardboard , as well as they need to be held together with grey duct tape.
Becky makes sure that her designs are well built to hold the cats’ weight so the third tier doesn’t collapse. “However, my other halves styles nearly always win!” states Becky. however regardless of who wins, “the kitties like all the different styles we have come up with as well as take pleasure in their occasional new homes.”
Becky has discovered from her jobs that heavy weight cardboard is critical. She suggests taping the back as well as sides of the boxes as well, not just the front. smaller boxes support the weight better. Becky always puts hers next to a wall as they can quickly idea over. “Luckily, the cats are consistent on their feet as well as compensate well,” she says. “My older cats understand sufficient to stay clear.
Are you influenced to develop your own climbing wall for your kitties?
If you requirement even a lot more inspiration, inspect out this video about the “Rufus Tower.” Rufus’ daddy felt poor for Rufus since he had to provide him ear drops to treat a agonizing infection, as well as whenever he came home, Rufus would run from him. So he wished to do something for Rufus to make him feel better, as well as developed this fantastic tower.

Hi Ingrid as well as Becky,
Nice styles – cats like cubby holes, particularly stacked.
Grocery stores will provide you fruit as well as vegetable boxes if you just ask. Those are heavy duty.
The cats look like they are truly enjoying themselves.

Hitch likes boxes. ideal now he’s infatuated with his Kittyblocks. Our huMom only got two as well as Hitch would like 6 or 8, however huMom is terrified they’d autumn over. Although he’d truly like to make a tunnel from them. That would be so kitty cool! perhaps we’ll try the Cattystacks after the holidays. It’s just a matter of room. We never have sufficient space for all the boxes Hitch wishes to keep.

The makers of the Kittyblock suggest stacking them no higher than two tiers. A Kittyblock tunnel would be method cool, though (Allegra as well as Ruby made me compose this!).

Excellent towers!! I have always gone to a storehouse store (around right here it is Sam’s Club) as well as they have heavy-weight boxes that “nest” into each other like fruit boxes where they are their own display. finest for kittens, however some will do for adult cats.
