How to Make a Carpeted Cat Ramp Easy

Carpeted cat ramps are the perfect solution for aging cats. When your cat starts to grow old, it may begin to have difficulty climbing up onto the furniture or reaching its favorite perch. When this happens, it is time to make a comfortable carpeted cat ramp to make the furniture accessible. Elaborate ramps can be purchased at pet stores, but you can make your own simple, inexpensive cat ramp at home.

Instructions

    • 1

      Get a board about 6 feet long and wide enough for your cat to walk on, such as a 1-by-6.

    • 2

      Cut a piece of carpet big enough to cover the board. Wrap the carpet around the board and secure it on the back side with a staple gun.

    • 3

      Place the carpeted ramp at an angle so one end is resting on the floor and the other end is resting on the edge of the bed or chair. Your cat can walk up and down the ramp.
