DIY Upcycled Cat Scratcher

"I’ve always had cats, from White Cat who my parents originally received as a wedding gift long before I was born, to Chewie and Leia, our current furballs, who joined the family on Max’s 5th birthday. As much I love having cats; no one loves the one things that they all bring with them: the litter box. Thankfully, now we have Fresh Step® Clean Paws™ Multi-Cat Scented Litter with the power of Febreze™ freshness, in a low-dust and low-tracking formula, to help keep that litter where it belongs and NOT spread all over the house! It’s made of a special blend of larger particles is designed to stick less to your cat’s fur and stay in the box, and is guaranteed to eliminate odor for ten days. You can pick up Fresh Step® Clean Paws™ at Target, or by clicking through on the image below!"

Why You'll Love This Trash to Treasure Craft

2. Budget-friendly: Instead of spending money on a store-bought cat scratcher, you can create your own at a fraction of the cost using materials you likely already have at home. This project is not only fun and creative, but it's also easy on the wallet.

3. Customizable: With a DIY upcycled cat scratcher, you have free reign to design it exactly how you want. You can customize the size, shape, color, and even add fun embellishments to make it uniquely yours. Your furry friend will appreciate having a scratcher that fits their specific preferences.

4. Bonding experience: Crafting is a great way to bond with your pet. By involving them in the project, you can spend quality time together and create a special item that they will love. Your cat will enjoy watching you create their new scratcher, and will be eager to test it out once it's finished.

5. Satisfaction of a job well done: There is a sense of pride and accomplishment that comes with completing a DIY project, especially one that is both practical and beneficial for your pet. Seeing your cat happily using the scratcher you made can bring a great deal of satisfaction and joy.
