Instructions
Measure the distance of the ramp from its starting position on the floor to the desired nesting area (e.g., couch, windowsill, bed, etc.). When measuring, keep in mind that the ramp should not be overly steep. Areas that are high above the floor, such as windowsills, may require longer ramps.
Cut the board according to the measurements you took. Because the board will not be nailed down, the positioning of the ramp will be flexible; don't worry if your measurements are not exact.
Cut out a rectangle of carpet scrap using the scissors or a box cutter. The carpet scrap should be the approximate length and width of the board.
Glue the carpet scrap to the board, then staple the corners into place using the staple gun. Let dry.
Lean the ramp against the couch, bed or windowsill so your cat will have easy access to these areas. Remove the ramp whenever necessary.
