Cardboard TANK Cat Bed

This is a tank shaped cat bed for your cat.

cardboard boxes

box knife

glue or tape (optional)

We all remember as kids that boxes were the best, now lets make a tank!

First grab a large box(I used a book box) and take a second box, without the bottom taped, and slide it into the first one. If you want to tape the two together.

Now a the front of the second box tape the sideways flaps together. Now take some extra cardboard and tape it to the flaps and fold it to make the front.

for the treads there are three options,

1: pool noodles: glue the noodles into the shape of treads and glue them on either side of the boxes. This is what I did

2: boxes: make boxes to the shape of treads and tape them on.

3: whatever: take anything you have and tape it to look like treads.

Add a circular tube to the top of tank. Add wider tube to end to finish barrel.

Your cat must be anxious by now! cut 2-4 holes in front of tank for air. Grab a third, smaller box. cut hole just behind barrel that is big enough for cat. Take a piece of cardboard and lay it in the hole to make a ramp for cat. glue ramp into place. cut holes on one side of third box. cut out the opposite side completely. glue box over hole. make air holes in sides of tank. Now add any details you want with whatever you want. Your cat will think, "Here comes General Patton to conquer the house from my evil two leggers!" If you really want to give your cat some fun, then underneath the tank between the treads put a powerful rc truck. add smalls wheels to the treads and give you cat a ride. I am not responsible for any scratches or bites you get from this.
