Step 7Needs fuzzy love
First I put a carpet self that runs between the two PVC cross brases using short wood screws placed ever 2 inches. The cat liked it... so even more carpet would be better!
I took the boards back off and wrapped some carpet around them and used a staple gun to secure it on the undersides of the boards, then mounted the boards back to the frame.
Picking the cat up and putting her on the top self a few times didn't go over so well, but after a couple of days she would jump onto it on her own. Putting cat nip on it helped as well. There is now a towel on the top shelf so we can remove it and shake it clean every so often.
Our fat cat tips the scales right at 15lbs. I built this perch several months ago and the cat loves it. I didn't glue any of the PVC pieces together and it is holding up fine.

Hey, that's pretty neat. I've been considering building some sort of wall/ceiling unit that my cats could climb about on and lounge as the mood struck them. I hadn't thought of PVC, though.
