Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2006I started the cat condo
Dunno why I put it off for so long. The whole clowder is fascinated watching me, and I keep telling them it's gonna be their special palace - not for being very big or fancy, but for being built by their meowmie's own hands and being one-of-a-kind. Pics will follow upon completion.... > Dunno why I put it off for so long.

I built this one myself in Thailand with a tiny bit of help from Dennis to wrap the sisal around the post: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/badwilson/detail?.dir=463f&.dnm=9529.jpg&.src=ph Dennis and I recently built this one together: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/badwilson/detail?.dir=463f&.dnm=f292scd.jpg&.src=ph  SignatureBritta Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness overflow.

Yes, I'm using materials that I've hading laying around forever, even the sisal rope has been with me since Arizona (in the ex's stuff - didn't know it was here until the other day), so the cost is nil. I didn't get any tubes for this one. Eventually I'll build another, with tubes. I'm amazed at the one with seven platforms, all for just *one* cat! Can't let anyone here see that or I'll get nagged half to death! >> Good luck Pam, can't wait to see the pics! Building your own is a >> great way to save money.

We never used tubes either, couldn't find any. We just used logs. Cheap but heavy! SignatureBritta Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness overflow.

It's a pressed cardboard tube about 1" thick, 15" diameter, couple of feet long (cut to fit). He gets them free. Some people use "concrete forms" that you buy at Home Depot. When he builds for the humane society, I can usually get carpet & lumber donated. One bit of info. I did pick up was when I was looking for 4X4's. All they had was treated lumber in stock. The lumberyard guy told me that treated lumber (like landscape timbers) contains arsenic. So that's something I do'nt think I"d use, especially if it's not covered with carpet. That was new info. to me. Sherry >> > Good luck Pam, can't wait to see the pics! Building your own is a >> > great [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > Sherry Yes, that's very important. You also need to beware of treated lumber if you build your own outdoor furniture. I read a warning about this several years ago in a gardening magazine.
