For the Cat Who has Everything (weight, safe, furniture, house)

[no kudzu]

I'd put these all over my house if hubby would let me!

NK, I like the picture although that style is way too modern for me!

You made me curious so I googled "wall cat beds" and found them ... for $200 each!!!

I have seen those. Around my house, with 22 cats in it, it is ME who is climbing the walls - not my cats!!!! No way would I give them a booster seat so they could attack more stuff in the house. They can already reach more than I would like!!!!

I actually want to do some serious modification to make the "up high" places more accessable and safe for Nimbus. But the price on some of those cat shelves is simply insane. I'm pretty sure I can build something that will work just as well, cost a lot less, and probably look nicer, too.

Maybe I should go into business building cool cat furniture, huh?

Check out Fab.com, they have two different types (4 total) of wall perches on sale starting at $79.

I love these types of things. I have my eye on some stuff from The Vertical Cat - Innovative Handcrafted Cat Furniture, Trees, Shelves, Stairs - Create vertical space to enrich your cat's environment

The thing I want to know, is what kind of specialized hardware they're using to make sure the wall shelves are stable enough to hold a cat. You can't just assume people will find studs to screw the thing to the wall...and I'd like to experiment with some cool decorative brackets and shapes, too.

I love things that are artistic and functional.

I think any kind of good heavy weight wall anchor will be good if you cant screw into a stud. Just like a shelf or towel bar etc.

Ugh, I was so LAZY yesterday. :P Meant to get started on this project but a good book basically sucked me in for the entire day so I accomplished nothing but lounging & reading.

I WILL however sometime soon, get started on this. I am going to sculpt some cool shelves for Nimbus to climb on, and if it goes well I am going to make some to sell later, too. I'll post pics when progress happens...
