i had a scratching shelf but it was almost gone , it was just a shelf with some carpeting. my ladies loved it. so it hought i must make a new one, but i didn't have some scraps of carpeting so i thought why not of carton boxes. I work most of the time on the floor and for the my protecting of my floor i always using carton boxes. so i thought i can recycle them in to this project so they will become a third live. it was easy to make and my furries loving me now more then ever.LOL i thought i must make him soo that i can clean it easy so i used a shoebox lit as well. you can turn it and pick it up and in those holes nothing can filling with dust. I' and my cat Muis are very allergic for dust. and to make it more durable i have wrapped the lid with some plastic coated closet paper. so it can stand moistering as well. the scratching shelf is laying on the floor in the kitchen, so there can lay some water spoiled there. if not. you can do it too for the candy for your own eyes;XD because i had used a box i had given of m y sis as well, it smelled of her pets so at first my furries didn't wanted to look at it.LOL soooo i have tricket them with some catnip i have rubbed in. I had some drops with liquid of valeriaan, but... mine doesn't like that. I think my friends are too spoiled.LOL note: the time is without drying time and is depending how big your shoe lid will be and how much you must cut I hope you like this and make one for your own furry friends thank you for stopping by , just have a happy crafting fun time;-D
