Probably the worst part of the experience was putting it together. I’ve had my fair share of assembling cat furniture and IKEA furniture but making this cat tank took nearly two hours from start to finish. No step posed any real challenge but there were many steps. At least 75 screws were necessary to secure the cardboard pieces together. I recommend using your hand to get the screw started and then using a screwdriver to finish embedding the plastic screw into the cardboard.

The next day after our initial play session, I found my cat investigating the tank once again. I even caught him taking a cat nap inside. It provided him a safe and enclosed space like his very own kitty cave.upvotes Follow Unfollow 6 years ago Dots Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

Cats are natural predators ¹ who love to hide, evaluate their opponents, and pounce on them. Your home offers a safe environment, although your feline friend will have fun pretending your feet are dangerous wild predators. Hiding in a box allows them to stalk you and ensure the element of surprise when they pounce on you. Must I Raise the Sides When Making My DIY Cardboard Box Cat Bed? In total, putting it together requires 65 steps and some of the steps have multiple instructions. Be careful with some of the mirrored image pieces as they come in pairs and you can easily swap them putting the cardboard piece on the wrong side. I made this mistake a couple of times. The bed should also have soft, cushiony material for warmth and comfort. Most importantly, ensure you can place the finished bed on an elevated platform that gives your cat an excellent vantage point.
