- In this video I share how I made a Cat Scratching Post for my Parents Cat. I made it out of Scrap Wood & off cuts of Carpet. It turned out to be very heavy and sturdy. I just hope the Cat likes it!

Mate your awesome watching you with these very basic but brilliant projects inspires me to do them and gives me the confidence to do it.. you dont use fancy tools that u need a lottery win to get.your down to earth and brilliant at what you do and deserve more subs
Wow thank you very much for the motivating comment! 😃👍🏻
VERY GOOD
@@davidbell9130 Thanks 👍🏻
Beautiful, sturdy cat scratching post. Also like that it doesn't use sisal rope--not all cats like sisal. Heck, given that so many of them scratch upholstery fabric and carpets, I wish that large cat scratching post with upholstery fabrics and/or carpets were manufactured and sold to cat parents.
Thank you 👍🏻 yea that was my thinking as they tear up the carpet they would probably like this. Plus I had this left over carpet and the sisal rope is not cheap.
Lovely. I'm going to use ur design and modify it just a little. Thanks!
Wonderful!
Very nice job!! I used this plan and the only thing I did differently is I used sisal rope on the post.
@@mr.beavis2202 Thanks 👍🏻 yea I was going to buy some sisal rope but I had the leftover carpet so used that instead.
I am also seeing another idea with that. Making it into a ladybug house. Fantastic!
Not only an excellent work but a work of Art! Thank you for sharing it; I learned a lot from your video.🙏🙏
Thank you very much 👍🏻 your welcome.
We have just recently got our first cat, a dumped stray. Costing more in vet bills than any of our children ever did. Lol. Brilliant project. Cheers Phill.
I know what you mean it's a similar situation with my parents cat but they are cute so what can you do 🤷♂️ thanks Dene 👍
Awesome! I do have 3 different scratching posts around the house that luckily I have found at yard sales or someone set beside the trash bins but I think I want to make one. I will do this to make a huge one. So simple, Thank you!
Thanks Laura :) Good luck with making yours!
Absolute genius Phil, something like that would stop my two furry friends from knackering up the stair carpet 😺😺
Thanks Andy 👍 yea he goes for the sofas and the carpet he's quite a big cat so need to encourage him to use this before he destroys the house 😆
@@PhillWyattProjects you've got to love 'em Phil!
@@Shandinho they are pretty cool creatures 😎🐈
Thank you for making a very easy to follow video! I’m more of a diy craft person but slowly tip-toeing into wood projects. Thanks for excellent instruction! Liked and subscribed! Can’t wait to start making this for my cat.
Thanks Karen I appreciate your support 👍🏻
Fabulous work Phil and maybe if an when your parents see the cat using it they can take photos and you can show .One very fortunate stray has a kind home and a personally made scratch post .Great work all round :.Cat & parents have you .. 👍🐱👏🏻 All the best Phil and enjoy your weekend :)
Thanks Helena 👍 yes I plan on making an update video if he does use it. I hope he does as he keeps scratching the side of their sofa 😆 have a great weekend!
@@PhillWyattProjects you too Phil and meanwhile hope he does have fun with it :)
Nice little project Phill. Those U shaped nails are known as staples :-)
Thanks Steve now that you mention it I guess they are staples I just always think of staples being what you find in an office drawer 😆
That is cool. I have some offcuts of carpet, so may just have to do something like this to stop my wife's cats scratching up our actual carpets.
Thanks! 👍 This one likes to get his claws into the sofa he's a little rascal!
@@PhillWyattProjects that's what I'm worried about when my wife says she wants to get a new sofa
Wow! Can you make me one please!! 😂
Sorry I have ran out of spare Carpet! 😂
🤣🤣How about making one for a price? I will pay!!

So does your cat confuse the scratching post with your carpet? lol. Or is it an outdoor cat?
The Cat died not long after I made this for him so he never really got chance to get used to it sadly.
Thank you for that. Can you lend me your mitre saw and router.
Thanks Nicola. You really don't need a mitre saw for this a hand saw will do. Also, you don't need a router you can just smooth over the edges with sandpaper.
My effin cat better like this bc he has already ruined 2 300 dollar 2000s era ikea office chairs. I got them from a neighbour when he moved. Had the recipes and everything. I don't really use them but it still hurts to see my precious Gary destroy something worth 300 bucks. That's like 400 bucks now with inflation.
I am also seeing another idea with that. Making it into a ladybug house. Fantastic!
Oh yes I have a video on how to make a Ladybug Hotel on my channel.
