Cats love cozy corners where they can hide, observe everything around them, and relax.

Instead of spending money on expensive cat furniture, you can easily create a comfortable house from a simple cardboard box, writes Martha Stewart.

What do you need for the house?

To create the structure, you will need:

  • Cardboard boxes – the sturdier, the better. For an average cat, sizes of 31×36×46 cm will work.
  • Utility knife or scissors – for cutting out openings.
  • Pencil and ruler help to make straight cuts.
  • Hot glue or tape – to secure the parts together.
  • Decorations – paints, fabrics, stickers, and a soft cushion for comfort.

How to make a cat house?

  1. Prepare the base
    Choose a box of the appropriate size, cut off excess parts, and cut out a door and windows.

  2. Use
    another box, cutting out triangular pieces for the roof. Attach them to the base of the house with glue or tape.

  3. Add a second level
    If you want to make a two-story house, glue another box on top, leaving openings for access .

  4. Decorate the house
    Paint it, add stickers, fabric scraps, or even a small curtain at the entrance.
