Cardboard Cat House DIY

All you need are some large boxes, duct tape, wall paper and a couple hours. Obviously, I have way too much time on my hands.

Here you can see one of the support "beams" inside the house. It is just a box that held the lights for our bathroom. The wallpaper glue wasn't the best (I guess it doesn't adhese to the cardboard that great), so I also used clear duct tape/packing tape for many of the corners and sides.

So, this was going to be the finished product. I didn't want to paint it because I was worried about it being toxic to my cat. But then, with way too much time on my hands, I started looking around for wallpaper.

The two vanities came with matching mirrors. So, I took the mirror boxes and used them as a room. I also put a couple boxes inside to help as support beams.

The Box

Suddenly, it occured to me I could tape them together and cut out some windows and a door. I also cut a hole between the boxes so he could go inside, and jump up into the box or to the top of both boxes. I alternated the holes (the hole you can't see is at the other end of the box, under the large window.
