How to Make Cat Condos Out of Cardboard

Having a cat or multiple cats in your household can be a lot of fun--cats love to play, and they typically have a lot of energy. Good pet owners make sure their cats have plenty of toys at home to play with so they get regular stimulation and activity. You don't have to spend a lot of money on fancy toys or expensive cat condos to help your cat enjoy itself, however. With just a few cardboard boxes, you can create your own cat condos.

Instructions

    • 1

      Place your cat inside all of the boxes momentarily to make sure it can fit comfortably in each.

    • 2

      Cut a large hole on one side of each cardboard box to create "entrances." Make sure your cat can fit easily through the holes.

    • 3

      Arrange the cardboard boxes so that the entrance holes all face the same direction, configuring them however you like--with two on the bottom and one on top, for example. Secure the boxes to each other using duct tape.

      Place a small pillow or towel inside each box to make the condo comfortable for your cat.
