DIY cat scratcher, DIY cat bed. We used two crates from Jo-Ann Fabric and Crafts, two dowels from Home Depot, some MDF for the base, and some rope from Home Depot. The rope is the kind they sell by the measurement. I hot glued the rope around the dowels. It was a slow process to glue but it has held up. I spray liquid cat nip on the ropes and it is the only thing we have tried that has actually gotten my jerk cat to scratch it other than furniture.
