Custom Cat Castle
/Custom Cat Castle
If you’ve spent any time at all with a cat, you know cats and boxes have a special relationship. My cats like to inspect all incoming boxes, then adopt a favorite as a play space. But having a brown box, or even a pretty blue box, in the middle of a room is not particularly pretty to me. Not that I don’t do it, especially when the tenant refuses to leave.
Enter Vybe.com cat houses, or more accurately cat castles, nicely engineered white cardboard sections one puts together like a big puzzle to have a custom cat playhouse. Besides the flexibility of the easy design, it also is already white so when inspiration strikes, I can paint these to better fit into my home decor.
Now James A Mess couldn’t wait to check out the Vybe castle pieces before I even had them out of the shipping box.
Shipping, by the way, was free and quick, I received this box within 3 days of placing the order.
Once the cardboard pieces were out of the box, I read the easy instructions and started to look at the various options.
James A Mess found one of the round inside pieces. The cardboard will crease with repeated folding. I glued another piece of cardboard under the folded piece to support it before installing it.
Before I settled on one design, I left some configurations for a couple of days to see if everyone was happy. I had to move a couple of the towers to ensure a clear traffic pattern but the changes were easy to make once I moved the tenants.
Etta Girl likes having quiet places where she can hide. I also made sure she has a quick exit option.
Not that Etta Girl gets to enjoy the quiet for long, James A Mess seems to find her spots pretty quickly.
There are several available cat house sizes with the option of ordering your very own custom cat castle.
What fun to think about waiting until Christmas morning to put one together, I know my cats loved all of the boxes and tissue paper in years past!
