Cat DIYs

So, what can I make for my cat? The possibilities are really endless. You can make them a special treat, a DIY cat hammock, or a homemade catnip toy. There are a lot of different ideas depending on what your crafting skills are and what your cats enjoy.

How do I make my cat cute?

So, if you want to make cat DIYs that will make your cat cute, consider making them a sweater, outfit or a beanie cap. Just make sure that the clothes you make for them are comfortable and fit properly.

You don’t want them to get tangled up in an outfit or have it be too tight because they could get hurt. So, not all cats like playing dress up. Neither our Scout or Heather are at all interested in wearing cute clothes because we’ve tried.

DIY cat bed

A DIY cat bed is a simple project to make for your cat. Don’t worry, you can make it as simple or elaborate as you like. They are happy sleeping in cardboard boxes.

So, just make sure that the bed has a bottom and something fluffy and comfortable on top for them to sleep on. So, here are a few projects you can try.

What should I do for my cat’s birthday?

As much as your cat will appreciate any of these cat DIYs, what they want from you the most is your attention. So, why not just spend some time on the couch with them and their favorite toy. Or, if they enjoy it, brush their coat and have some one-on-one time. Your cat would love to have your undivided attention for just a few minutes each day. Finally, as independent as they are, cats crave our attention too because they love us.
