cheap, ugly, but HUGE success!!

Since I am no longer going to move, I decided to put some boxes to better use... I made some holes in the front, top or sides and taped the boxes together... It is not pretty at all, but it took me less than 5 minutes to make it, and the kitties love it!!! They have been using all the time as a hide out when they are playing chase...
Here it is...

I love it!

That looks like my two calicos' idea of heaven right there! Ginger and Annie are my two box-dwellers and they can play for hours with just one box...your project is fabulous!!!

Excellent!

I need to "steal" some more boxes from work.

What a great idea! Obviously, they're loving' it!

Can my cats come over and play! What a great idea. I wonder what my SO would say if he came home to a cat box castle!

It is so silly, but I will tell you they used it non stop yesterday, and all day today... Every time I thought about doing an "upgrade", I couldn't as a kitty would be in it... Not sure what their fascination with boxes is, but... It surely works for me!!! Here is Lucky trying to decide if she wanted to use the front, side or top door

I had several of those in my house & outside for years. Boxes are a cats best friend!

OMG that is sooo cute! My cats love boxes too but i have never made a castle, i need too!!

i cant believe ive been throwing boxes away!!

That is absolutely superb, my place always looks like a warehouse because of all the cardboard boxes I have lying around for the cats, but it keeps them happy so I'm happy too

I have a couple of boxes just sitting on the floor and my two jump all over them! I got a bigger box from work a couple of weeks ago, cut off the flaps, cut a little doorway on one end and they like to run and play in it and on top of it. Silly kitties!!

I get sick of tripping over them, but we always have to have at least one out for the kitties.
I never thought of making a cat house out of them! What a great idea! Your kitties are obviously loving it!

That is so creative! My cats would love this

Very cool, that was a great idea!

My gf and I are going to build a cat tree but I think I'll do a cardboard box castle like you for the kitties to play with in the meantime.

Good stuff

It may not be esthetically pleasing to a mere human, but obviously you hit the feline functionality right on the head! Good job!

That is the coolest and most creative thing i've seen anyone do for their kitties!! This is giving me LOTS of ideas for a castle for the boys.

Whenever we get a package, the box usually stays around for a few days, until it's either crushed or chewed up and it goes in the recycling...best kitty toys ever.

I can relate! When I was acclimating a new kitty a couple of weeks ago, I felt the urge to cobble up something together quickly so everyone would have a new distraction. My cardboard fortress:



Nice to see there are others out there thinking 'outside the box'!

That is such a good idea, Mizzy would love it, i might make her a castle then she can act like a princess, (as she would lay on the highest place, or hide).
