Cat Training

Cats like to have their own houses which bestow them hours of activity as well as safe and warm places to rest. There are many different typesof cat houses you can buy, but it is relatively basic and possible to build a cat house yourself. By doing your own assembly yourself, you have the advantage to transform exactly what you need for your situation and your cat or cats.

You will need the following items, which you can get at your local hardware store: One 4′x8′ sheet of 3/8″ plywood, three 2″x4″x8″ studs, one box of 5/8″ wood screws and carpet pieces. Saw the plywood and the each stud in half and then take each piece and cutsaw them in half again. You should have eight pieces of plywood that area each 2×2 wide. These sections will be used for the floor, walls and roof of your cat house. Cutting the studs will result in twelve pieces that are each 2′ in length. These will form the frame to adherethe plywood to. Use a staple gun or glue to attach the carpet remnants to the plywood. The carpet covering lends a expanse for your cat to to take care of his need to scratch and stretch his claws, sparing your furniture.

Congratulations! Your cat's new house is now done. This project is not slated to be used as an outdoor cat house since materials used are not waterproof. You may change the house for use outdoors by the adding a top in the form of a triangle. This will require extra studs and plywood covered with roof shingles so any moisture will run off without affecting the house.

The blueprint to be used outdoors should not have carpet on the exterior because precipitation trapped in the fabric will eventually cause the plywood to rot. For outdoor use you may shift the carpet with a water sealant to stretch the life span of the home.

A safe and warm habitat for your cat to hang out does not have to be grand nor pricey. Add your own secret touch and build what is appropriate for your pet and yourself.
