I got a cat from my friend nemes "Tiger Jr." because of hers skin looks like tiger, she is so pretty~~

Step 1: Material and Tools Preparation

Material:

1. Carton - as much as passable, get them from supermarket, please care about the clean and thickness.

2. Elmer's Glues

Tools:

1. Cutter knife

2. Ruler - longer is better

3. Cutting mat

4. Pencil

Step 2: Base

Measuring the length of your pet and pick a suitable carton for the base.

Cut this carton as the picture, I set the base of Z-high as 60mm

Be careful when you cut the carton. You can use pencil to make a line first and then cut it.

Step 3: Make the Inside Plates

Measuring the length of the inside of the base you made of step 1 and use this wide sizes for to make the carton plates.

Be sure that the carton direction is in the wide, that will be more strong structure for the scratching pad.

I set the Z-high of plates as 20mm, mark them on carton.

Notices, please don't "cut off" the carton, please see the attached pictures.

Step 4: Folding Them Into the Base

Follow the cutting line to folding the plates, and put the glue on them as the pictures.

That will make the plates more stronger!

Step 5: Final

Stuffed all plates into the base and make them as full as passable.

The final step is put some heavy stuffs onto this scratching pad over 10hrs. to make the glue firmed.

Ha, my lady loves it~~~
