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.

2. Printed Cat Tipi

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.

Would you jump into freezing water to save someone from drowning? This dog did

Someone give Corbin the Staffordshire Terrier his lifesaver badge. The brave dog more than earned it when he dived into an icy river to rescue his owner.
“If he wasn’t there to help me, I would have drowned,” says Corbin’s grateful owner, Philip Skirving, of Alexandria near Dumbarton in west Scotland.
The drama took place on what began as just another of their nightly walks along the banks of the River Leven. Skirving lost his footing and slipped – straight into freezing-cold, fast-flowing water.
‘I couldn’t breathe because it was so cold’
“I was about 5ft away from the bank but I just went into shock as soon as I hit the water,” Skirving told local newspaper the Lennox Herald. “I couldn’t breathe because it was so cold and I just couldn’t get myself back to the bank.”
Thankfully, Corbin realised immediately that something was wrong. He jumped in after his owner and clamped his jumper in his teeth, using it to help drag Skirving back towards the bank.
The pair made it out of the river safely and, soaking wet, headed home to get dry.
They’ll be avoiding any more adventures for a while, says Skirving, whose partner Zoe is expecting a baby in a few weeks. “I think I’ll just walk [Corbin] to the end of the street from now on.
Owners should always take extra care when walking their dog in the dark. Here are our top tips for staying safe.
