I finally finished Hennessy's climbing wall (my cheap kind cat-tree!) I had it up but the bottom one pulled out of the wall when he stood on it... I thought I'd traumatized him!

But it's fixed and he likes it!


This is him up on the top one...



He can look out the window...


And BTW.... No touchy his shelf!




Success!

What a gorgeous boy! Can we see pics of the wall? I want to do something along those lines but am afraid I wouldn't get it sturdy enough.

Oh, right! Duh, I forgot! *facepalm*

Here's a quick photo... Hennessy modeling his lovely scratching post platform.




He likes the top one best.

Wonderful! Now the specs please
How wide are the shelves? What did you use to mount them to the walls? This is an ingenious idea!

The shelves are scrap wood.... about 1' by 1.5-2' if I remember right. They're wrapped in carpet remnants (the tough stuff) on five sides, which is stapled to the wood. The brackets are heavy duty shelf brackets with construction screws... Had to make sure each one hit a stud...

I actually have a fifth shelf somewhere, but I ran out of carpet.
So he'll have to make do with the four for now.


It's not the prettiest thing in the world, but hey, kitty gets what kitty wants.

Wow, that's a nice looking setup you've got there... I might have to build something like that for our cats!

That's awesome. I can't imagine a kitty who wouldn't like that setup!
