Instead of wasting money on toys your cat is supposed to destroy, make your own with recycled materials. It will cost you nothing but a little time and your kitty will love it!
If you’re a cat parent, chances are you’re spending a lot of money on toys. I know I’m a sucker for every new feather teaser, catnip mouse or scratcher I happen to see at the pet store. In most cases, though, my cats simply ignore the overpriced toys and focus on stuff they shouldn’t have- e.g. my plants or craft supplies. However, when it comes to cat attention snatchers, you can’t beat plain ol’ cardboard boxes. Seriously, it’s like there’s something magical about corrugated cardboard because every single cat seems enchanted with it. So, instead of spending money on pre-made cardboard cat scratchers for your feline friend, why not make your own- at no cost?
This simple DIY project won’t take much of your time and can be done with simple things you already have lying around your home. And the best part is, cats love it!
What You’ll Need
*corrugated cardboard from an old box
