Step 8I think she likes it, maybe a little too much!
The cat really enjoys playing on the cat condo, maybe a little too well. She will only stop playing on the cat condo if it is to eat or get a drink, or use the litter box. If she isnt doing any of those, she pretty much doesnt leave it; she even sleeps inside of it. Also, she has a favorite shelf, and because she is constantly on it, it is becoming a little weak. So we decided to add an extra support.
To add the extra support, it is really simple. We found a small block of wood, and cut to the length we needed to reach from the base to the bottom of the shelf. We covered it with carpet on three sides, by using the staple gun to attach it to the wood. Then we pushed it into place, directly under the shelf, and we put a screw into it from the bottom, through the base. We also put two more screws into it, from the inside of the tube, into the un-carpeted side that is against the tube. The screws bury themselves into the carpet and are not noticeable, so we may actually do this for all of the shelves.

Great instructable - think I 'll make a varsion of this for mine with larger shelves & then put it near the window so they have a perch to look out (where our dog can't get at them).
