Things You'll Need
- 20 feet of heavy twine.
- Plywood, 12- by 12-inch square
- Glue or strong adhesive
- Heavy cardboard tube
- Catnip, optional
Instructions
Attach the cardboard tube to the center of the piece of plywood using glue or adhesive. Use a heavy cardboard tube, such as the kind in the center of commercial rolls of aluminum foil.
Coat the outside of the cardboard tube with glue.
Starting at the bottom of the tube, tightly wrap the twine around it. Do not overlap the twine and do not leave any bare spots. Add more glue, if necessary.
Allow the glue to dry for at least 24 hours before introducing your cat to the scratcher.
