The Scratching Post, Part II

Well, it's done. . . mostly. It's all put together, at least. And I only spent $30 (not counting the staple gun, staples and spray adhesive which totaled another $25.) Of course, I still need to get some carpet to cover the perch (the carpet I want is only $16) and some more rope to finish covering the ramp (a mere $5). A comparable store-bought scratching post (with a ramp & perch) costs anywhere from $70 to $100 (which is why I decided to make my own) so I didn't do too bad. . .
Anyway, mine is much more heavy duty than a store-bought scratching post (so heavy-duty that I can't even lift it!) so it won't crumble under the massive, ever-increasing weight of my cat. And she seems to like it. More thanks to Biffy for helping me put it together!!!

I must say we built a very beefy and quite attractive scratching post climbing thing. How does Cloe like...hope Zac didn't freak her out to bad by bounce walking her up the ramp and unto the perch.
