Cat Shelf Tutorial

This one is from 2004. Prana was a youngster back then.

This winter I put plastic over the windows to keep out drafts. Prana wasn’t too happy about this since it meant he couldn’t sit in the windows. So I made him a cat shelf. Everything’s recycled except the brackets.

I started with some scrap plywood, quilt stuffing, salvaged upholstery squares and shelf brackets. Upholstery worked best since furball has razorlike claws.

Sew the upholstery squares together big enough to wrap over plywood. (Prana is already showing interest.)
