The cat condo is a homemade feline bed that is made from recycled materials. Its main structure comes from a cardboard box, which is a favorite item for most cats. It provides the perfect place for your feline to take naps in throughout the day.

Supplies

2 wire hangers
Pliers
Duct tape
Circular object (ex: bowl)
Scissors
Ruler
Marker
Cat bedding
Safety pins
4XL T-Shirt
Cardboard box (16 ½ x 18 ½ inches)

Step 1: Cut a Hole on One Side of the Cardboard Box

Use the scissors to cut the box. You can prepare the box to your liking. I cut off the flaps of the box to make later steps easier.

Step 2: Reinforce the Box

Reinforce certain areas of the box, you find flimsy, with duct tape.

Step 3: Cut the Hangers

Use the pliers to cut the hooks off the wire hangers.

Step 4: Bend the Wires

Bend both wires into a trapezoid shape.

Step 5: Build the Roof of the Condo

Poke a hole, with the wire, on an inside corner of the box, four inches down from the edge. Repeat this action on the opposite corner.

Step 6: Finish the Roof

Grab the second wire and repeat the process in step 5.

Step 7: Bind the Wires

Use duct tape to bind the wires to each other at the center. It should make a 'X' shape as shown in figure 15.

Step 8: Put the Shirt Over the Box

Pull the shirt over the box and place the head hole over the hole that was cut out in step one.

Step 9: Secure the Excess Pieces of the Shirt

Use safety pins, indicated by the white circles, to fasten loose ends of the shirt against the box.

Step 10: Place Cat Bedding

Place cat bedding inside the box. I overlapped the cat bedding to ensure the entire bottom was covered.
