If you have a cat you will know well that it is in its nature to be a explorer, so much so that you may have noticed that there is no corner of the house that I do not know and that I have not used as a bed or hiding place. How many times have you found it under the bed, among the sofa cushions, inside the drawers or wardrobe, behind a plant or curtain, among the books or in a box found around the house? This is because he is a very curious feline and needs to indulge his nature as a discoverer, but also because he feels the need for a refuge where to stay calm and safe.
So why not build a welcoming place for our four-legged friend dog's bed reusing resources already available, easily available or that you would have thrown away? This would lead to many advantages, such as al savings and support for the environment, across the recycling and attitudes eco solidarity, which in addition to bringing obvious benefits to our habitat, would in some cases allow us to recreate a link with nature for our animal.
Una inspired bio research of the material to be used associated with yours intelligence, will help you to give your cat a comfortable dog's bed which he can no longer do without and which will create a state of well-being that you too will be happy with.
So let's see some ideas to recover unused objects and why not, dedicate yourself to auseful and fun activity!
From monitor to bucket
An old man may happen to be at home PC monitor, cathode ray tube, because it is broken or because it is replaced by a more modern one and does not know how to get rid of it. Here then, with a little patience and foresight, this bulky object can become a welcoming one dog's bed for our cat.
If you are enterprising and practical, a screwdriver will be enough to disassemble the monitor and empty it of all the internal components so that only the frame remains which, filled with a soft cushion, will immediately take on the appearance of a comfortable covered bed for the dear friend on all fours.
If everything seems too complicated, you can find tutorials on the net that will help you in your business.
The suitcase kennel
If you happen to find yourself in your hands one old suitcase, maybe broken or ruined, wait to throw it away! With a few steps it can be transformed into a comfortable bed for your cat and also into an original furnishing item for your home. By using one of the two parts of the suitcase, in fact, by applying under the supports in the four corners or even just resting it on the ground, the cavity filled with a blanket or pillow will become a real cot. Find a suitable space where to place it and you're done and your cat will no longer be able to do without it for its nap.
A wooden doghouse
Is your passion cutting, nailing, polishing and painting? Here then is the best solution to create one dog's bed for your cat is to use gods pancali or delle wooden boxes. Depending on your needs and your imagination, the ideas to be realized can be many: practical carved beds, colored and, I recommend, padded - the cat loves to be on the soft side! - or nice shelters, of different shapes and colors, with little doors, with several floors or with internal ladders for your enjoyment.
Of course it depends on the space you have available, but for those who have a garden, it might be nice to build a little house for your friend.
The box that turns into a doghouse
To keep yourself busy for a few hours during your free time or to spend a few pleasant moments with your children, it might be fun to build one dog's bed with the cardboard boxes.
So arm yourself with a couple of boxes (or even more, depending on your needs), scissors, adhesive tape, hot glue and large-tipped markers and ... give vent to your creativity!
You can erect a multi-storey building connected internally or with multiple areas joined laterally, create doors and windows, give the structure the shape of a castle or a particular figure or a play path, make drawings and writings.
In short, there really are endless possibilities, just don't forget to put a mat or a soft blanket in the kennel to the delight of our four-legged companion.
Bed hygiene
Once the kennel is ready, since it will be a space in which our cat will spend a lot of time, we will have to pay attention to its hygiene. The kennel, in fact, must always be kept clean, to protect the health of our cat and those who live in the house, through safe solutions for everyone.
Our advice is to use "Sterilind", a ready-to-use, natural sanitizer deodorant, which neutralizes bad smells without covering them and which prevents bacterial growth, which will spread a pleasant eucalyptus aroma in the environment.
