When Rob and I moved into the apartment, we had a lot of boxes. I kept wishing that there was something I could do with them and, at some point, stumbled across this cardboard DIY cat scratching pad. Unlike most of the ones you see out there, this actually looked pretty stylish plus it was a way to use cardboard.
So I cut boxes into 4″ strips and rolled them tightly, joining them with masking tape until I had I nice disc of cardboard. This took way more boxes than I expected and the disc is still a little small for Marlowe to nap on.
Then I ignored it for six months even though the masking tape was hideous.
After six months, I had some procrastination I needed to do, so I cut some Japanese rice paper into the same 4″ strips and used double-sided sticky tape to attach it to the disc.
Now we have the most beautiful cat scratching pad in the world.
Harriet gives it her stamp of approval.
