_20170928_230250.JPGHi,

I have some free wall space half way up my stairs and plan to turn into a cat Highway. I'm not great at this sort of thing and am looking or some helpful and reasonably priced ideas. I've hopefully uploaded a current pic minus cats though as they followed me whilst I was taking the pics.
Thanks in advance

I'm surprised the cats don't walk up the railing of the stairs. LOL. Cats also love shelves. Just look up "catification" on Google and you will find lots of ideas. Jackson Galaxy has also published two books on the subject with a lot of pictures. Some owners go to extremes with holes in the walls, etc. You've got a great start. Just continue it -- always making sure the highway does not dead end somewhere. Unless it ends in a nice big cat bed. They need room to turn around and go back the other way if you don't have a loop.

Thanks I'll keep googling lol x

Brian, you've done a super job on your highway!!!

This is so late of a reply but check out a video by Pet Meadow Crew. She does a DIY video of how to make a climbing pole/perch setup, and if you are a bit handy you can modify that idea to create a great cat super highway! I will try to post the video later

But even just finding studs & installing shelves is a great cheap alternative. I do prefer putting carpet on my elevated cat surfaces because my cat Miko can get rambunctious at times and would probably eventually slip and fall on a smooth surface.

Very professional! Nice job. Serious uber do-it-your-selfer skills you have.

You should probably provide your cats a safe way down though, without the "crash landing". I've had cats that hurt themselves trying to get down from something like that, especially if they try to play or have a squabble while up there.
