Introduction: Grooming Comb for Cats

About: Artist, maker, teacher.

My cat loves to be cuddled, especially with a comb and surprisingly roughly. It can withstand a few strokes. But an end is always hard to find. 

That's why she gets two combs installed in her favourite place.

Supplies

2 combs* with coarse teeth

wooden board

4 or 5 short screws, 2 wall screws with plugs

drill, ruler


* Make sure that the grip area is as large as possible so that we have plenty of space for the screws

Step 1: Measure

Probably the most difficult part:

We measure the shoulder height of the cat so that the combs can be reached comfortably. The first comb (horizontal) should then be installed approx. 1 cm/ 0.5 in lower. The 2nd comb is mounted vertically underneath on the edge of the board. Marking!

Step 2: Install Comps

Drill through combs and wood. We need at least two screws for each comb. The drill bit must of course be slightly smaller than the screws.

Step 3: Fix the Board

Now we can mount the board on the wall, preferably on a corner. Check the height again before doing so!

  • pre-drill the wood
  • mark the drilling points on the wall
  • drill into the wall
  • insert dowels
  • screw the board in place
