Cats enjoy to have their own houses which provide them hours of entertainment as well as safe and warm places to rest. There are many different plansof cat houses you can buy, but it is relatively uncomplicated and handy to build a cat house yourself. By doing your own project yourself, you have the advantage to design exactly what you need for your location and your cat or cats.

You will need the following paraphernalia, which you can get at your local hardware store: One 4′x8′ sheet of 3/8″ plywood, three 2″x4″x8″ studs, one box of 5/8″ wood screws and rug remnants. Divide the plywood and the each stud in half and then take each piece and cutsaw them in half again. You should end up with eight pieces of plywood each measuring 2'x2'. These sections will be used for the floor, walls and roof of your cat house. Cutting the studs will result in twelve pieces that are each 2′ in length. These will form the configuration to screwthe plywood to. Use a staple gun or glue to attach the carpet remains to the plywood. The carpet covering lends a expanse for your cat to to take care of his need to scratch and stretch his claws, sparing your furniture.

Congratulations! Your cat house do it yourself project is now complete. This project is not slated to be used as an outdoor cat house since supplies used are not waterproof. You may change the house for use outdoors by the adding a roof in the form of a triangle. This will require extra studs and plywood covered with roof shingles so any rain will run off without affecting the house.

The project to be used outdoors should not have carpet on the outside because moisture trapped in the fabric will eventually cause the plywood to rot. For outdoor use you may alter the carpet with a water sealant to strengthen the life span of the habitat.

A safe and warm habitat for your cat to hang out does not have to be opulent nor expensive. Add your own particular touch and construct what is right for your pet and yourself.

Cats have been with us for 6,000 years now and they have become our favorite travel companions. Most of the domestic cats have wild streak in them since they are naturally born for the outdoors. Remember that these hairy and cute cats are wild descendants of African and Southeast Asian cats. That means you should expect your feline friends to still crave for the sun, fresh air, and the outdoor experience. To keep them safe from the dangers that exist outside the best thing you can get your cats is a cat enclosure.

There are many reasons why a cat enclosure is a significant tool for your dear cats. These are the most important reasons to note:

Your cute Siamese will be safe from stray animals that might attack it. Most cats need to hone their survival skills which they initially lack since they were not raised outdoors. Remember the saying about curiosity and the cat!

Your cats won’t be able to prey on local and rare bird species which may be endangered.

You can now leave your cat alone to play, whether you are there or not for him.

You can be sure that your furniture or landscaped lawn is safe from your pet’s claws. You know well that cats love to scratch their claws on any surface.

Your cats will not be disturbing your neighbors. With a cat enclosure, they are allowed to roam only in specified areas. They won’t be able to climb up and down on you and your neighbor’s roof.

Your cats will be safely protected from running cars.
