How to make a house for a cat?
First we cut out all the necessary details from the fiberboard and chipboard. If such a house seems too big for you, you can proportionally reduce our size.
In the walls you need to cut out truncated circles with a radius of 27 cm. First we draw these figures with the help of a large compass or a stretched rope. The back wall will be solid, so only one circle is needed.
On the other wall we make an entrance and 3 windows. To do this, draw a circle of 22 cm and 3 - to 5.5 cm. As a result, we will get a nice imitation of the cat's paw. We act strictly according to the scheme of drawing circles.

Now you can cut out all the drawn circles and circles with a jigsaw. Small circles can be cut with a drill with drill bits.
Mark and drill 7 points, which will be attached to the rails.
| | |
We prepare the slats, we plan and tighten the sharp corners, so that they are safe for the animal.
We fasten 2 walls using racks and screws.
Now cut out the fabric from the fabric for the walls. We glue them with hot melt, making all the necessary holes.
| | | |
We try the house to the base and cut out the foam for the couch of the right size. We glue it to the base. The circle is the place where the pipe-claw is fastened.
Now we glue the base with a cloth. In addition, we pin it with a furniture stapler, and to prevent the edges of the fabric from falling off, we cover it with a piece of fiberboard from below. Likewise glue a sheet of fiberboard, which will be the roof of the house.
| | |
The cloth with which we pasted the base, we close the 2 lower rails, gluing it to the inner edges of the lower rails.
We put the house on the base and screw it with screws. Do not drill the bottom right!
Completely pasting the slats, we fix the roof with a construction stapler.
| | |
Inside the house all the visible parts are pasted with a cloth, and on this he, in fact, is ready. Remains only to attach a nail and a couch.
| | |
We strengthen the plastic pipe with two bars.
| | |
From the chipboard and fiberboard we cut the semicircles for the couch. We put them on the pipe, preliminary having made a hole of the desired diameter.
| | | |
We fix the pipe to the base and glue it on the bottom with a cloth, the rest - we wrap it with a prepared thread. We hang a toy.
| | |
| | |
We put foam rubber on the lounger and glue it. Then we glue it with a cloth. Our complex is almost ready, there are very few left!
| | |
On an inclined leg, we cut 1 rib at 45 ° for a close fit to the base. We glue the bottom and top with a cloth, and glue the middle part with a thread. We attach it to the base and the house.
Our complex is ready! Now you know how to make a house for a cat with your own hands, so you can begin to improve the housing conditions of your pet.
