Your cat is about to be very happy you’re a DIY fan! Did you know there are lots of terrific DIY projects, especially for your cat or kitten? So you can make every moment of their 9 lives even more fun and entertaining.
We’ve found you 40 DIY projects, especially for cats – so you can create a terrific play space, a cozy spot for them to nap in the sun or toys that they will bat all around your home like crazy! There are projects here for every DIY fan, whether you are brand new to this or more experienced. You’ll find woodworking, needlework, refurbished, sewing and more. We encourage you to try projects that are new to you, because if you want to make something for someone else (like your cat!), it will keep you motivated as you learn new DIY skills.
Remember to always, always, always use high-quality project materials. Especially when you are creating items for pets, these are items that will probably wind up getting in their mouths, as they are chewed on. Your cat may also knead their claws on the project, as this is something cats do often to self-soothe and relax. So you want to be sure that all of your project has been thought out with your pet’s full comfort in mind.
When you DIY pet items, this is the perfect time to customize things. You can add your pet’s name, use their favorite materials and even match your home’s decor. This is especially ideal when you are creating cat furniture such as a cat tree, because you can make it so it easily compliments the room naturally.
Show this post to your cat and pick out a few favorite projects. It’s time to get started. Happy DIY-ing!
