All cats love going into dark and safe places. Why not make a tent where they can nap and feel secure all day long? This SUPER easy pop-up T-shirt tent is fun to make and your cat will love it.
What you need:
-
1 x Old T-shirt
-
Safety Pins
-
2 x Wire Hangers
-
1 x Old Cushion
-
Cardboard box
- Iron Wire or Tape
Instructions:
-
Straighten out the two wire hangers and create a dome-like shape. Curve the ends of the wire so it can hook underneath the cardboard box.
-
Poke holes on each corner of the cardboard box – you should be able to use the end of the hanger to do this. Do not make them bigger.
-
Cross the two wires over each other and fix it together in the middle with iron wire or tape.
-
Adjust the curvature of the hangers to make sure the room is suitable for your cat’s size.
-
Bend the wire at least 3 cm at the bottom of each hanger so it sits against the bottom of the cardboard.
-
Tape down the ends securely, fiddle around with the wire to make sure you have a dome shape.
-
Pull the T-shirt over the dome. Make sure the neck is in the centre at the bottom of the frame.
-
Fold the excess T-shirt to the bottom of the dome as tight as possible and pin it together.
- Put your pillow in the tent and call your kitty to try it out.
