Jungle gym out of carpet wrapped PVC tubing?

... It would be easier (and better) to wrap the PVC with sisal rope. It's better to encourage scratching on a surface OTHER than carpet and many cats prefer the sisal anyway. Easier?! Have you ever actually DONE that? We've built cat furniture with sisal-wrapped wood and it is an ENORMOUS pain in the ass. Not to mention you need 40-50 FEET (depending on the rope) of sisal rope to wrap a single foot-long section of 4" PVC. We've got a 6 1/2 foot tall tree with all the verticals wrapped in sisal - well over a THOUSAND feet of sisal-wrapping. Plus, all that sisal can get expensive, too. |
Yes, I have done it. I wrapped a 4 foot high scratching post with 1/4"
sisal. It wasn't really easy but it sure works well. Tiger likes to climb right up to the platform on top. -MIKE |
