I was tired of little cheap scratchers, so built my own massive one that will last!

You can buy all sorts of scratchers/ scratching posts online for cats. While most are fairly good and will work fine for your cat for a while, I wanted to DIY my own. This post is 2.5 feet tall and is built like a tank! It's super sturdy and is tall enough for most cats! If you have a really big cat, you can widen the base and make the most even taller! I was really pleased with how easy it was to tack the sisal rope on the post as well. Thanks for watching!
The tutorial I somewhat followed:
www.dreamalitt...
Things you'll need:
1/2 to 1 inch plywood, 18+ inch square,
~100ft of sisal rope. I used bigger, but 1/4" thickness should work
-hammer
-trim nails (little thin ones)
-screws
-drill
-drill bits (maybe)
-wood glue
-rug or mat
-some way to cut your wood pieces
-box cutter to cut your rug or mat
-pencil/sharpee
prettier version
-Piece of trim long enough to go around your base's perimeter
- 4x4 decorative cap

I bought some sisal rope at Lowe's, wrapped it around the leg of my piano and had an INSTANT scratching post. My friend came over and saw it and loved it. I took my leftover rope to her house and wrapped it around a back leg of her kitchen table, a leg no one sees, and another INSTANT scratching post. That was over 10 years ago. Mine is used daily and still going strong. Keep it simple, folks.

To find the center of a square you draw an X

That molding is called a quarter round, used to trim out baseboard with a hard surface flooring. It’s a good height, and when the cats shred the rope, you’ll be able to replace it instead of tossing it. You did a good job. Measured way too much for something like this. Draw a line diagonally corner to corner, and the intersection of the two lines is always your center. Do it on both sides of the board, and you’ll be able to center your drill holes perfectly. No fuss, no bother. Put that raw side to the wall, and nobody will be the wiser. Good, sturdy scratcher. You’ll have happy cats!

Ragdolls are my fav of all time. I’ve never had a cat in my life, but I have always felt sort of ‘spiritually connected’ to the species in some way. In three weeks I will be bringing home my new female blue lynx mink Ragdoll kitten, who is currently just four weeks old. I am going to name her Piper. CATS RULE!!!

Quick question: what kind of cat water fountain do you have bc it sounds awesome?

@Genin99 6 лет назад

Jasen made a video about it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9ZrRDNWeZuQ.html It's also the same brand of fountain I have for my cat.

@sherriross4785 6 лет назад

@@Genin99 Thanks for your response! I love the sounds of a water fountain and I could hear it in his video, just couldn't see it. If you watch Community Cats she also has this fountain in her kitten room and it sounds awesome. My 6 cats are going to love it...me too. Hope the replacement filters are too expensive and easy to find.

@SandyCheeks63564 4 года назад

Once I started feeding them only canned food, they no longer want their fountain water :( But the point behind the canned food was to keep them hydrated enough that they won't (my boy) end up with a clogged urethra. Also I read that dried cat food is superheated and it forms carcinogens from that. So no more dry, even though it's SO much cleaner, cheaper & easier.

Small rubber feet in each corner would be good to protect your floor and are not expensive

@vamps_rock 3 года назад

Unlike some other rude commenters, I loved the length of this vid and all of your musings throughout! It makes a change to find one of these where the person isn't a near expert at the DIY. It's great that you gave this a go and your furbies obviously approve so thanks for posting 😸.

@michelleaudet7709 2 года назад

Make sure the post isn't treated, the chemicals used are harmful..An untreated post is better

@sandypoteet8228 6 лет назад

I wondered if having the carpet underneath would cause it to be less secure to stay in one place? I love the height of the post, I love that you did it, and I think I could do it, even without being "handy". I agree the rulers of the home places, need the height to stretch and scratch. Thank you for sharing.

Sisal rope $4 for 50 ft at U-Haul

@Jessica-xp3yl 4 года назад

I would definately use a hot glue gun for the rope and tightly wrap and glue parts as you go to keep it tight, as you can see when the cat scratches it the rope is very loose in areas. But a helpful video thanks :)

I’m obsessed with cats especially Burmese’s.🐱.

@ronyerke9250 5 лет назад

If you're not going to whip the ends of the rope, you might want to start and end with a staple. You don't really need a cap if you can saw a bevel on the top end of your post. Got a circular or table saw?

@CatsandPats 5 лет назад

I got a mitre saw for christmas, and have a handheld circular saw. What do you mean by whip the ends of the rope?

@ronyerke9250 5 лет назад

@@CatsandPats it's a treatment campers and sailors use to prevent the rope from unraveling. It works like the plastic tips on a shoelace, but using string or monofilament fishing line. There are several videos around YT if you want to see what I'm talking about. Just search WHIP(PING) ROPE.

Was that a treated 4x4?

@richscatenclosures7535 6 лет назад

If you lay a straight edge from corner to corner and mark a line near the middle then do the same on opposite corners and where the lines intersect is the middle. No measuring ;-)

at around 18:20 he starts talking like Erica Griffin XD

@DanielKhuu 5 лет назад

Funny cats and great job! Much better than store bought ones. Suggestion: I’d edit out a lot of the side comments you make to ultimately make your videos shorter, you probably could have had a straight forward 10-15 minute vid instead of 27 minutes.

@KludgeMaker 4 года назад

Oops.... tried to fast forward. I should know better by now. Much faster to just let it play and waste more of your life.

I rub into the rope in the seam openings with Elmers Glue non-toxic after winding . The rope lasts like for years.

@martasuazo8754 6 лет назад

So what I have is a Amazon find cat post thats attached to wall mounts... It saves floor space and it looks great... Maybe you could do something like that? DIY idea

@oliviapowers584 4 года назад

I would have done a tad bit of wood glue as I wrapped the rope up the post, along with the tight wrapping.

@Minuet.of.Forest 6 лет назад

Yay! Welcome back to RU-vid 💖💖💖💖 this is a very cool diy! Btw I'm very curious about the grass bed that you made for your cats, what happened? Did you cats use it as bed, playground or toilet? 🤣

good concept how much for all mateials?? was thinking theres got to be a quicke easier route-like why not figure a way to attach scratching mateial to ur door jams!!??

@CatsandPats 5 лет назад

Don't have a good estimate on cost. I found the post, had the plywood left over from another project, the carpet was a free sample, and I got the rope for a Christmas present 😂😂

@larry45044 5 лет назад

good job! you could also tip it over on its side diffrent way for ur cat to kneed-my cats so PICKY LOL @@CatsandPats
