Hi there, could you please detail the materials you used for this? size of the platforms, height of the post etc? I want to make something similar for my lazy 6yo cat. :-)
@seventhwave87 Hi, some of the materials are in the video description. I think you can still get posts like these in B&Q. The main post is 120cm Height, 17cm width, 10cm depth, with a large base. The platforms(47cm w, 42cm d) are made from old shelf units which are ply wood, then carpet off cuts are glued onto the platforms and folded around the edges and stapled tight using a staple gun(has lasted very well so far, no signs of wear)The lower platform is 80 cm in height.
What is the white fabric (?) at the base of the lower tower?
Just be careful in case your cat tries to eat it. Toy stuffing, if ingested and then mixed with the gastric juices, can become a semi-solid mass in the stomach.
@manoirdaisy Thanks for the comments. The fabric is a cut off from a sheer curtain. She used to like lying on/against it when it was hanging from the curtain pole a bit like a sideways hammock. Got to be careful tho. Thanks
She's beautiful.

@nekcr0 Thanks! Now that she is older she can just jump straight to the top, so I have added an additional platform even higher!

That's great, was told about the toy stuffing by a vet so tend to warm people just in case--I know how quickly my dogs can shred a toy!
