DIY Contemporary Feline Beds

This Modern Cat Bed is Budget-Friendly and Simple to Make

— January 12, 2014 — Lifestyle
This DIY cat bed requires only a few materials and about an hour to complete. A concrete tube form is transformed into a modern, curved kitty condo. The tube is cut with a handsaw to the desired length. Then another piece is cut out to form the base. It's then glued together and the edges are sanded. Lastly, a nice coat of paint and some foam & a blanket and it's done.

For cat owners who aren't interested in the standard cat houses, which sell in most pet stores, this project offers a great alternative. Its rounded design offers a modernized approach to cat furniture. The best part about the project is the unlimited customization options for the creative-at-heart. With one concrete tube form, which only costs about $8 from a hardware store, a pet owner could create three kitty condos.
