Materials used for self-assembly of a house for a cat are easy to buy at any construction shop or you can use the remains that can be found in your home. So, we need:

• a small finished wooden ladder;

How to make a simple house for a cat at home?

1. From sheets of thick plywood we cut out details of our future small house. It will consist of five floors.
2. The lower floor is an ordinary box, which we collect by means of furniture corners, twisted with walls with furniture bolts. In one of the side walls we saw a hole in the shape of a cat's head from the stencil along the contour. The back wall of this house can be made on hinges. This will, first, make it easier to trim the box with carpet from the inside, and secondly, it will give you access to the cat if it, for example, hurts and lies inside.
3. The next floor is a corner of plywood, which you need to cut, and its edges to be processed.
4. Next comes the usual plywood shelf with a hole.
5. Then another figured shelf for the cat, which can be cut, giving the edges an arbitrary shape.
6. The upper shelf is a house for a cat. At the bottom of the shelf, which is equal in length to the other shelves, we cut a round hole so that the cat can climb freely on the shelf. The house will be about 2/3 of the length of the shelf . We fix the sawed walls to the shelf with metal corners. In one of the side walls of the house we make a hole.
7. One part of the roof of the house is bolted.
8. The other half of the roof is made on hinges.
9. Now we assemble the structure using plastic pipe pieces as shelves. They are attached with the help of building corners.
10. To the wooden ladder we also attach metal corners.
11. To the cover of the bottom box we fix four supports, a small shelf and a ladder.
12. From above we also fix the supports and the big shelf, then again the supports and the curved part.
13. At the very top we fix the plywood house.
