I’ve been seeing a lot of “how should I design my cat wall?” posts — I built something to help visualize layouts and would love your feedback

81 Upvotes

I’ve noticed tons of posts here where people are trying to figure out how to design their cat walls — like what height to place things, how far apart shelves should be, and how to make it safe for cats of different ages.

I’ve been working on a small side project that helps you visualize cat wall layouts in 3D, sort of like a digital sketchpad for cat rooms. I made it after seeing how many people struggle to plan things before drilling holes in their walls 😅

I’d love some honest feedback from folks who’ve actually built setups — what do you usually find hardest when planning?

Here is what it looks like at the moment. Thank you for your feedback in advance!

Cat tree builder, I have built Cat furniture for 20 years professionally. It was my only job and still is I certainly have not gotten Rich but I did get by and for the most part. I’ve enjoyed it. I would like to talk to people and other parts of the United States and see their work.

I want to have a section of wall for them to scale up. Even the cheapest carpet at home Depot would be 50$. Any other recommendations that I can use? There's that sorta office carpet type stuff but does it have enough for them to grab onto??

Cute cat scratchers

Post image
924 Upvotes

Not sure if this quite fits the group but Today i saw the cutest cat scratcher inspired by a witchy apothecary. It was VERY well made and deserved to be priced at the 2k that it was, but i cant imagine it being financially reasonable for me to drop much more over 100 for a cat tower. My boy has two that have held up for the last 3 years, they still could hang on, but theyre getting shredded to the point its making a mess. If i dont want one of the regular and boring builds off amazon, where can i get an affordable and cute scratching tree?

I posted the picture so that if anyone is interested and does have the budget for it, im not gate keeping. You can tell the creator put in a ton of work, and definitely prices themselves accurately

me again! long story short after getting our third cat the red little Abyssinian Vladimir, my girlfriends allergies flaired up severely and we were getting to a pretty bad place including considering rehoming them and other crazy options... so we decided to segregate our house and gave them our bedroom moving all the cat stuff around the apartment into here... anyways I decided to go a bit crazy and give them a cat room/jungle of their own and keep the allergens at bay meanwhile! it has been such a success and the cat room DIY is ongoing... roughly 70% done ish 😁 oooh plus plenty of cat tax to be spotted

Suggestions for wall mounted cat climbers?

We have this awesome bunker space that we'd love to make accessible for our cats, but we don't know how to help them get up there! Does anyone know any combination of shelves or posts that would fit in this corner?

Our ceiling is 9.5' (114") high, so some longer posts I've seen won't be able to anchor off of it, so I was thinking about something wall mounted, but open to all suggestions! Thank you!

Our other cat used it almost immediately, but this is our timid girl who's also usually a bit of a groundhog. She suddenly decided to explore the wall nearly 2 months after we put it up and now uses it every day!

Escape Stairs in Backyard

9 Upvotes

I have a stray cat that's been hanging around my house lately and I'm worried about her getting trapped in the backyard. I have 4 dogs, and they've killed squirrels and opposums before, so I'm worried she might get trapped in the fence and unable to get out if I don't see her when I let the dogs out. We have a 6+ft privacy fence so I'm trying to figure out how to make her some escape stairs the dogs can't get up in case of an emergency. Any suggestions?
