Kitty Climbing Wall
Inspired by several different websites such as Ikea Hacker http://http://ikeahacker.blogspot.co...et%20furniture
and Modern Cat magazine http://http://www.moderncat.net/cate...bing-perching/ my loving and very patient boyfriend designed the cats this awesome climbing and perching wall.

As you can see they love it! They were of course a bit skeptical at first but once they discovered that it was one area the dogs couldn't go they were thrilled!

That is very cool, but I agree it may need carpeting to keep the kitties from sliding off the end... If I had kitties now I'd definitely be recruiting hubby to build me one of those!

The cats must love it! What a great idea!

Yay! Its really an easy project if you're at all handy. We bought the shelves and brackets at Ikea and cut them to the desired length. The most difficult part was deciding on a placement that would allow the cats to be able to easily go up and down.

Keep wearing him down!
