Cardboard scratching machine with a small house
Home cats and cats that do not have the opportunitygo out, you need to sharpen the claw somewhere. And if the apartment does not have a scratching pad, then under the "hot paw" get the sofas, carpets, furniture and everything else that can be scratched. For the sake of justice, it should be noted that the presence of a scratching pad does not at all mean the complete salvation of your furniture from sharp claws, but still significantly reduces this probability. Dutch designers made a special Krabhuis for cats, that is, in translation from the Dutch House for scratches. This idea can be used to get a scratch with the house with your own hands.
The house had a door, a window and a chimneyis designed for cats to play, gnaw and sharpen their claws to their heart's content. This eco-friendly DIY scratching post and house is made from 90% recycled material — corrugated thick cardboard. To make the house last longer and withstand the weight and pressure of cats, the roof and bottom are made of 48 layers of double-sided cardboard. Of course, such a play complex is not eternal, the constant impact of claws will eventually make the house "uninhabitable". But scratching posts made of artificial materials quickly break down, and are quite expensive. A similar house in Holland is inexpensive, and here you can regularly make it yourself from cardboard.
If Krabhuis is improved by makingdoor, handle, having made more windows, then such a house could be used as a mobile pet carrier. I think both cats and their owners will be happy, and the soft corners and furniture will remain safe and sound, which is especially important for those who live in a rented furnished apartment.

The houses also have a social purpose, because they are assembled by people with disabilities in the Netherlands.
