Does your cat dream of camping in the wilderness? Make all their dreams come true and construct this kitty tent! Bonus--it doubles as a scratcher!

Drill

Phillips bit

Small drill bit for screws

Four 22" pieces of wood cut with a 22.5-degree angle on one end

Two 24" pieces of wood

2" screws

1 1/4" screws

24" by 48" rug

Lay out two 2x4 pieces with the angled side facing up and pre-drill two holes for the cross bar.

Screw in the cross bar using the pre-drilled holes with the 2” screws. Repeat on the other 2x4 to secure the cross bar.

Repeat the cross bar process with the other two 2x4 pieces.

Stand the two sides up together and screw the tops together with 1-1/4” screws. You can use wood glue as well for extra strength if you choose.

Repeat on both sides, securing the 2x4s together.
