It's been a long time since we have shared out home with young energetic cats and our new kitties seem a bit bored with chasing toy balls and laser lights. I decided to make them a maze where they could practice their hunting skills to find hidden treats.
I've been collecting cardboard boxes for the past month
I reinforced all the edges and sealed the flaps with strapping tape. then cut holes in some of the sides so that the cats could pass from one box to another.
The boys helped me check that each box would bear their weight
and test each opening to make sure it was large enough for them to pass through .
Yesterday, I started assembling the components on either side of my computer console.
I added a enclosed box bridge behind the monitor to connect the two parts of the maze on either side of the desk. from there they can hop to their window napping platforms on adjacent wall, or leap onto to their cat tower on the opposite wall.
It's not pretty ..YET but I have plans to paint and a lot more embellishments to come.
The boys have wasted no time checking out every corner of the basic model
both inside and out
and
THEY LOVE IT.
