Improve Your Cat’s 9 Lives With a DIY Cat House


f they aren’t curled up in the sun, being grumpy or sitting on your keyboard while you type, say, an article about DIY Cat Houses, our feline friends need a place to call their own.
Don’t sacrifice your (or Snowball’s) personal style with a ho-hum, store-bought bed (or plastic stackable basket). Instead craft a custom cat house for your beloved furry friend. You don’t have to be a crazy cat lady to care about your kitty’s comfort.

To be truly content, some cats need four walls, a pitched roof, and skylights. If that sounds familiar, then this cute, little, single-occupancy unit may be purr-fect for you. Pick your pattern, break out the sewing machine, and line it with fleece for extra comfort. They will be curled up in front of the fake fireplace in no time.

If your furry friend is more of the nomadic kind, try crafting this tipi out of fabric, twine, and five wooden dowels. Its a perfect accessory for any Thanksgiving celebration. 

3. Packing It In

Before you toss that vintage suitcase, give it a new life as a bed for your four-legged friend. His dreams will take him to far-off places, even if he never actually leaves the house. Make cleaning easier by using a pillow with a washable casing.
4. Cat House For Your House Cat

As a pet owner, you know that cats, like children, enjoy a good cardboard box more than what’s inside. Take it to the next level with this cardboard cat home within your home. Consider a little front-door landscaping with some catnip topiaries flanking the front door. 
5. Mouse Not Included

Upgrades in technology happen every five seconds. The good thing is that there is also always a need to upgrade your kitty’s nest. If you have one of these original gumdrop shaped babies, remove the innards and replace ‘em with a little software of your own. 
6. On the road

Traveling with your pets isn’t easy. While not exactly do-it-yourself, these pet friendly trailers are a nostalgic way to tote around your family friend.

7. Totally Tubular Cat Shack

If your kitten is the type who likes to catch some waves while he catches some Zs, take a trip to your local hardware store to pick up the few materials needed to craft your cat a soft place to lay his head.
8. Not-So-Sour Milk Crate Bed

What cat wouldn’t love to be surrounded by the aroma of sweet milk as they curl up to take a little cat nap? Grab a crate from your local flea market and apply a little elbow grease to make this simple bed. Put it oncasters to make a little mobile home for Felix.
9. A Tisket, A Tasket

Blend your cat’s habitat into your wall art by hacking a cylindrical Ikeabasket into a homey little cat bed. Carefully secure it to the wall and fold up a comfy towel or blanket to rest in the bottom.

Boston Swagger in SoCal Meets Ronnie and the Cats

Not Appreciating Cats--A Definite Flaw in Character

"Why do you have so many cats?" my friend inquired in her usual accusatory tone.

"I don't know" I said, like the number of cats one owns denotes a certain level of happiness.

I'm thinking now I should have suggested she herself should try to acquire cats, one cat, any cat, a stray cat--I'm suggesting get a pet, any pet and give up alcohol.  Wouldn't that steer one on the road to emotional freedom, self-actualization, peace and time away from the bar as one walks their dog.

Perhaps she feels I would be happier if I had less cats--how did I get them--she goaded me again for a complete history as she listened with disdain.

"Why do you let your children give you cats?" she demanded, as if I would actually have an answer to that question--as if I had not asked myself that question a million times.

Perhaps she thinks my house would be cleaner if I had less cats--they are always such a good excuse on which to blame all of my house cleaning issues.

How much time do you spend walking your dog a day?--how many times a day do you take him out for a walk?--do you go to the dog park every day, or what?  Hi, Ronnie, do you remember me?

I'm pretty sure Ronnie said "no," as I drug him into the tavern in embarrassment.

Oh, he's fine in here, she said, I saw other dogs in here earlier.....

Right, that may have been when there was less shouting and people--even a pit bull is small in wall to wall people.

Finally, we took Ronnie home and dropped him off---why--so we could go to another bar.

Taking one look at my beautiful Chlo-Louise on my bed, "Wow, that cat is really old, I can't believe how old that cat is....how old is it?"

"Where do you sleep and where do the cats sleep--why do you just have that little tiny bed?"

Fueled by the synergy of Boston and beer the blonde bomber continued--Yeah, that was really funny when JoAnn and I went out to that street fair on Adams..we were listening to music and drinking all day.  We went to an Italian restaurant and she couldn't even remember what she ate.

She's really stressed out now from work--has a big knot in her neck and gets so many headaches.  She works so much overtime--both of her kids are in college--she's always been a real hard worker.

Are you ever going to get a job again or not?....unrelenting questions in that caustic "back east" style...I dress well because I can afford it, that's another thing about back east, people dress a lot better...people are slobs out here.

Right "back east," what ever planet that's on.

Does your daughter still have that crazy boyfriend.  Remember when she lived downtown with that guy?

Yeah, that was so funny when JoAnn couldn't even remember what she ate--she couldn't even remember going to that Italian place.

Yeah, we really have a lot of fun together.

Right, everyone has their own individual interpretation of what "fun" actually is, how they should spend their time and money in a worthwhile manner.  How much time one should allocate to cleaning.

cats vs. alcohol........

Right now...I's sticking with cats!
