Well my family has 2 very playful kittens and my sister and I decided to make a scratching post for them. We went to GoodWill and bought a $3 cabinet then covered it with carpet left over from my parents' house. The hardest thing was cutting the board for the bottom. I found a piece of wood at my father's house, but had no knowledge of how to use his power tools. I ended up using a hand saw and gravity (my sister kicked the piece apart) to cut it. The whole thing was pulled together with a nail gun. It was a blast to make and you can not argue with a $3 cat scratch post! The kitten in the picture is our girl cat, Harlow, she is the main occupant of the scratch post.

That is fantastic! Great job. Truthfully, they tear them apart too quickly to spend lots of money on them. I have one that I "saved" from the dumpster and another that was given to me. That is with a full grown cat, who is not a huge scratcher, but I don't want to spend the money on a scratching post that she hardly uses. I use it on other toys though. ; )
