You can do by yourself cool Cat House for a modern pet.

A better alternative for a cardboard box ;)

Follow below for the step-by-step instructions to create a cozy home for your furry little friend!

Supplies

Cube shelf unit - I use 36x33x36 cm
Legs 4pcs
Door Mat small - It will be a claw sharpener for your cat
Blanket - Super soft is required
Rubber Glue
Nails & Screws
Scissors
Drill
Hammer
Paint & Brush (optional)

Step 1: Furniture Legs

Unscrew the bolt from the leg, if it's mounted, if not - better for you. In my case, that bolt is too big, and I will use another one.

Step 2: Line Up the Legs

I use a hack to line up all the legs - double sided tape.

Attach the legs to the base, and make sure that they fit it. Turn the base and drill 2 holes in each leg.

Step 3: Assembling Cube Shelf

Follow instructions to assemble the cube shelf unit. This type of shelf is very popular, you can find it in a home Decor/Furniture store, Home Improvement store, IKEA (models like Kallax or Eket).

Step 4: Screw the Legs

Step 5: Cut the Rug to the Size of the Side - We Need 2 Pcs

Step 6: Optional

It is not necessary to paint this Cat House. I wanted to protect the raw wood because it will stay outside, on our balcony. I chose water-based paint because it dries quickly and leaves no odor.

Step 7: Backside and Front Border

If you cut out a square of fabric from the corner of the blanket, you will need to finish just 2 raw edges. Finished backside - 35x35cm. Front border - 35x15cm

Step 8:

I had cute black nails for wood, with a wide head, so I decided to attach the textile sides by driving nails all around. Two things at once: Functional & Decor. Softwoods are more suitable for our purposes, rather than hardwoods. Use the smallest diameter nail and point at the center of the edge to prevent the wood from splitting.
