How to build a cat tower that's over five feet tall! I built this modern style cat house for my parent's new cat while I was visiting over the holidays. I think it look pretty cool and so far Polly the cat has been hanging out in it a little bit more each day. I'll leave links below to free plans on my website you can build something similar! Thanks for watching :)

MODERN BUILDS

Hi, My name is Mike Montgomery and I'm a MAKER; a designer, builder, and full-time content creator. Accessibility is my focus with Modern Builds, not simply accessibility of designs, but accessibility in materials, information, and projects themselves. I've focused on creating furniture and DIY projects that are simple enough that any beginner maker can accomplish, yet interesting enough that any expert might be inspired. Building and making is becoming less and less of an exclusive hobby and profession. My goal is to reduce that separation even further.

    I would wrap that tallest post, they really like to stretch and scratch at the same time. Mine will climb up to the top using that one post too. But I’m nit picking, excellent job!
  • My first pet was a tortoise shell calico cat named Polly. She was such a special and smart cat. We had her for 20 years. I shed a tear when you announced the name and she looks just like our Polly. 🥲 we miss her so much.

    What ever happened to the plans?
  • Re: Plans They can’t be located here or on your website. Several of us are interested. Thanks!

    you shouldn't use synthetic rope for scratching posts.

    Nice. Hamster trail for the cat. A nice tube to connect the boxes. I love kittys.

    Perfect timing for this video! My partner and I are moving in together and I want to build his cat a new tower!
  • @NODHLAN

    Love this project. I suggest some kind of a pillow cover. Wash pillow cover and ready. I have 4 cats. Greetings from Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷
  • Pre-built Outdoor Catios/Tunnels are so expensive, would love to see you make it more affordable! Love your videos Mike! 😁

    I have a big and tall 21lb male Ragamuffin whose feet are almost the size of mine! Also have another rescue who is a 10 lb female Siamese. I bought a cat tree when the male was around 3 yrs old and only 12 lbs. It did not last 6 months. It was carpet over particle board so the screws did not hold it together. I kept gluing and repairing it until I have up. I think this design just might work and last a while. I agree about making covers for the pillows. Your mom has probably already figured that out by now lol Thanks so much for the design!!

    This is an attractive cat tree, Mike. I'm thinking that Polly will enjoy it. Thanks for the video.
