IT'S FINALLY DONE - My Weekend Project - Building a Cat Tree - Part 7 Linus Tech Tips

2010-05-30
all right well the cat tree is finally finally finished we added it up and it was probably about 50 labor hours all told to put this thing together so you can see that it is now completely carpeted so here I'll give like a quick tour of the cat condominium that has been constructed here so this bottom bit is actually still missing a piece there's going to be a ramp going from this door down to the edge here but we haven't put the ramp on yet it's just a small small thing in the grand scheme of things oh there's a cat in there but I don't know if you're gonna be able to see him anyway okay so we've got the the lower platform here then there's a house in the middle with a couple of doors one on each side and then a couple of our three windows and then from there they can either climb these sisal covered poles or sit on the platform about the on the in the mid level here then there's another house so the penthouse is up at the top here and then we've got this is like another woven sisal pillar so that's going to be primarily for scratching and then there's two more platforms up at the top and then from there we can hang like you know little mouse toys or you know little silvery shiny balls and hopefully entice the cats to come up and attack them let's see I got one kind of eyeing me here here he comes there you go so so far it's a big hit with them sprayed catnip all over it so hopefully we can get them to use it but yeah overall cost of this project including some carpet from end to the roll I ordered some sisal remains from another online shop ah yeah so about 50 labor hours and then about 350 or so dollars so it wasn't cheap but to actually buy something like this at the store I went around to all of the local pet stores and they had stuff that was maybe about as high as just this house and just really poorly constructed it seems so shoddy and they were asking 250 to 350 bucks for it so I'm pretty glad that I worked on my own here anyway thank you for those who have been following along with all of my cat tree stuff and thank you for those who don't care about it and have been patient with me as I complete this project yeah I know not everyone likes the cat videos but you know what are you gonna do my cats are playing on it so I thought I'd get a short video showing how much they liked it and maybe better for how much this thing cost and how long it took to build let's see if I can get him to chase the laser pointer someone's gotta go for it come on guys it's amazing how well they can climb it now that it's all covered in carpet and in the sisal fabric there we go can you taste it all the way up there there you go yeah these guys just love it though which is really good I'm glad it wasn't a total waste of time you thanks for that cover your shame they can just really climb on this thing now they'll climb to even right up onto the top of the poles sometimes can you jump there yes you can so cute I don't think I actually did a shot showing the whole thing in the house so that's it next to the fireplace for sale it's kind of ridiculous but yeah we're pretty happy with this so it's all good
