DIY Kitty Trees

I am so excited about this!  We have been working on a couple of home improvement projects which have given us the opportunity to seriously spoil Princess Pumpkins, and the best part, is that it's technically going to be FREE!  First, we are renovating our staircase and are putting in new risers and treads.  We ended up with about 20 pieces of 1 foot square scrap wood.  I already had it in my mind that we could use the excess pieces for shelving, but then, my mother-in-law asked my husband to cut down a could of trees for her and realized that this was the perfect opportunity to build a few cat trees!  

Hubby ended up bringing me three awesome pieces (two pictured below):

  
There is also a 3rd piece that is almost 5 feet tall.

Hubby is going to work on stripping the bark off them today so they can dry out to be smoothed and sanded and the various platforms attached.  I can not WAIT to get this finished and share the final product!

AWESOME!!!

Very cool!  I'd love to see photos of the process and of the finished objects!

Oh neat!  Please do post pictures of the finished product!

What a great idea! I love making things for my cats to climb on. Are they going to be used indoor or outside? 

I can't wait to see the finished projects.

That looks really good! I too am excited to see the finished cat trees!

The smaller ones will be inside and the larger one semi-outside.  We have a screened porch where the larger one will likely go so she will have a place to climb in the fresh air
