I just got a kitten and I want to make her some cat furniture. I want something she can hide in, climb on, and sleep on. A few feet high. I want to make it myself because buying a cool one is super expensive! Help me!

I just bought my cat a scratching post, but I don’t think he knows what it is yet. He just kinda sniffs it, then scratches my computer chair again. How do I get him to learn to scratch the post?

(I don’t particularly mind that he scratches the chair, because that’s the only furniture he scratches and it’s already beat up. I just want him to know that the post is there for him to scratch, too!)

My cat’s litter smells really bad no matter how often we change it, do automatic litter boxes take the smell away or atleast significantly reduce it?

I have three cats, but I only use two litter boxes because that seems to be enough.

I’ve tried all sorts of tricks to keep the litter from getting everywhere, but they never work! I had these litter boxes that were literally boxes with holes on the top, and they worked amazingly well, until the boxes started to smell like cat pee, even when the litter was clean. I couldn’t scrub out the boxes everyday, so I went back to using old litter boxes.
I try to put towels or mats under the litter boxes, but my cats pee on them because they start to smell like litter…
I have wood floor and no matter what kind of litter I use, it gets on the floor and scratches it up!
The latest thing I’ve tried has been to put the litter box in a bigger storage box, but the storage box isn’t the best size and litter still gets everywhere!
Does anyone have suggestions?
Also, please don’t tell me to do something like vacuum everyday or to wash the mats. So sorry! I forgot to say that I’ve actually gotten TWO auto cleaning litter boxes, but they scare my cats!
And my cats are inside cats. D:

I want to make a soft cat tunnel for my cats. I know how to sew and I also have crafting supplies. Can anyone give suggestions as to what I can use for the hoops that give the tunnel its shape and any other suggestions? (so preferably assistance with an expandable/collapsable tunnel)
I do not want to buy one. 22 + dollars is more than I am willing to spend for something that looks way to easy to make for less money myself.

How much do you spend on maintaining a pet cat?

I have two male cats and the cat box is gross. They pee a lot and I wonder if an auto-cleaning litter box would be able to clean up after them. If you have used one, please let me know how you like it and if your cats were OK with it.
a little background info: I am mostly looking for something that I can leave on during the day and then just dump what has been pre-scooped when I get home from work. The cats are brothers so they have no problem sharing, but the last thing I want is for the box to scare them so they stop using it! Thank you for the helpful comments.

So, I heard cats can sometimes ingest clumping cat litter and this can cause impactions in their lungs. Is this true for all clumping cat litter or only non-natural clumping cat litter like scoop away? Like does the world’s best cat litter pose this same risk to cats or not since its made of corn?
