Ya know....you are a prime candidate for what my dad did when I was little.
One day, he came home with a large amount of carpet samples. I don't know if
you have them there, but here they have these little finished off rectangles
of carpet that people can look at for color and texture etc. Sometimes they
sell them or give them away when the carpet is discontinued or throwout old
books. He took liquid nails and glued them on one wall. He completely
covered an 8 x 12 ft wall, but one wouldn't need to do that much. He *said*
it would make good insulation but I know he had the cats fun in mind since
that room did not get particularly cold. The cats had a blast for many years
running down the hall and up that wall. Sounds like it is righ up Mir's
alley

I remember that wall of your dad's. I'd love to do something like that,
but I'm not sure there would be carpet samples available anywhere. We
seldom have carpet in homes here, mostly just in hotels.

I just thought of something. The guy I bought the cat tree from buys
used carpet (from Germany, IIRC). Maybe I could ask him if he could
construct something for me.
