Introduction: Cardboard Scratching Post
Hi Folks !
i've made a scratching post using only cardboard and threaded rod for my cat.
I've included it to my home-made cat tree.
Step 1: Supplies
For this project, you only need :
Cardboard, a threaded rod, 2 washers and 2 nuts
The tools you need are :
a drill, scissors, and wrench for the nuts.
Step 2: Cardboard Disk
Draw circle on a cardboard with a pipe or a pringles box then use scissors to cut them.
thread threaded rod into cardboard disk. You can mount threaded rod on a drill and spine to include cardboard and screw them easily.
Step 3: Include to the Cat Tree
Drill 2 holes on your cat tree or on 2 pieces of wood where you want to set your scratching post in.
Step 4: Final
Set the scratching post in place and add nuts
and it's over !
I hope your cat will love and use it as mine.

My cat would probably love this. If I buy something from a store, he completely ignores it. But if I make something from random stuff around the house, he stays entertained for hours.

Exactly a torn piece of paper is the best game for a cat !
