DIY Cat Perch | Step By Step Tutorial 

The life of a cat :)

Thank you so much! I will work on one 😍

go to home depot and buy a basic carpet roll, wood planks (size determined on how large you want to make landing pads etc), a bunch of 1x2 wood "strips" (enough to add 4 of them inside each footer tube), 1/2 inch or thicker plywood, rope/twine (same as in this video), PVC pipes (same as in this video), a bunch of metal L brackets, and cement footer tubes (diameter depends on how "thick" you want the "trunks" of the playscape/tree). Home depot also sells perfectly cut and beveled circles of wood of various sizes (located in wood section) the same wood circles he uses in this video (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qrXH4bicHd4.html). cut the footer tubes to desired height, cut the plywood as desired for a sturdy base so the entire playscape doesn't tip over (SO A PRETTY LARGE BASE). use the 1x2 wood and screw inside the tubes (cut the length so it's the exact height as the footer tubes so the landings have something to attach to). There should be 4 pieces of the 1x2's inside the footer tubes (top, bottom, left and right) evenly spaced inside the tubes. arrange as desired. glue and staple gun carpet as desired (if using staples arrange them where the cat wont likely scratch to prevent injury), same with rope (mostly just rope the PVC pipe to cut on cost). Mount the footers to the plywood base with heavy duty L brackets (attaching them to the aforementioned 1x2 wood screwed inside the footer tubes) and hide the brackets under the carpet by cutting an X into the carpet, screw into the plywood, then glue the carpet back over the exposed bracket. Attach the landings by either screwing directly down into the 1x2's or using the L brackets... I'm sure you can figure it out once you have all the materials.

She’s a real princess😻😻😻

Yay!! I’m so happy you find my content useful!! I appreciate the suggestions! Please reach out with any questions!!

@kristinoliviah have you heard of Jackson Galaxy, better known as "The Cat Daddy"? You can find him here on RU-vid. I suggest looking through his video's as I remember he made a video about ways to get your cat to sleep through the night. He channel is very informative one EVERYTHING cat. ☺ Good Luck with your new place

I love that!!

She is beautiful huh! We also have a new kitten, but she’s not on this video. She made an appearance on my newest video. Good for you for making this and please reach out with any questions 😻😻😻

@@aaronfixesstuff I saw her being such a big helper by showing you what wires to use in the outlet. She looks very similar to my Grayson. So cute! I think she deserves a raise. My dad laughed when I told him I was building this so now I have to prove him wrong. I’m sure I’ll be back with questions. 😹

@@hj471230 yes!!! She was so helpful!! Yeah I’d be so happy if you prove him wrong!!!

I remember you from the other video 😻😻😻

@@aaronfixesstuff ❤️❤️

I wish!! And I am basically sponsoring Milwaukee tools as well!

I love comments that give good feedback! I appreciate the tip!

​@@aaronfixesstuffhow did you make the router thingy? 😁

I love that!!!

Glad to help! They sell that vacuum at Home Depot :)

It sure can. But that’s glass and can be a disaster if it breaks.

I don’t remember if I did honestly. But I would recommend pre drilling for sure!

Amazon :)

I can make a video about it. It’s pretty simple to make!

@@aaronfixesstuff I would be so great full if you did. I like the idea of the nail and sting but I can NOT follow a line with a jigsaw. I don't know what it is .... I even bought a new saw with new blades ... it helped some. LOL Great project by the way, My cats are going to love this when I build one.

Me!!!

It is not. I have a link to it in the description box.

Belle is 10. It might be a bit tight with that size, but you can always go up one size on the bowl.

I’ll make a video on it sometime soon. If you are subscribed to me, you will get a notification when it’s uploaded:)

Did I miss the dimensions of the block (2x4)? TY

You can if you want to. I just used double sided tape.

@@aaronfixesstuff Awesome! Thanks!

In the description box there is a list to all materials used.

Are you in CO? I can definitely do that.

One of the many things I have learned in life is that no matter what you do, you will not please everyone.

@@aaronfixesstuff especially that cat lol!

@@wearechangecthartford so true!

Buying a pre made one is much more than that 🤓. I’m sure this isn’t in everyone’s budget. Also keep in mind that I just made the video, I have nothing to do with the cost of the bowl, nor do I get any kickbacks for sales.
