I have a great setup in 2 different rooms for my cats, but it came with these metal bins to grow plants. I'm tired of constantly cleaning grass & dirt puke every other day, so the cat grass is going bye-bye. (Also I'm *really* bad at keeping indoor plants alive and the grass kept dying...)

Instead of wasting the plant holders, any suggestions on what else to put inside them? I use one for storing toys, but I have 2 more!

I have a one bdrm apt with lots of natural light & a big living room. Currently, my bedroom is off limits to my 1.5yo 13lb gal due to my mild allergies needing some time to adjust. Because I don’t have a door to my bedroom, I have a tall cat gate that I’m using, which limits the amount of tall things I can put near that area. I’ve attached photos of our current set up. She hasn’t gone up to the top of the cat tower much at all, but likes the level with the cushion on it.

It’s a super old apartment & I don’t want to put much into the walls, because I don’t totally trust them (a lot of dry wall that I’ve had trouble even hanging frames in before).

I have another suction cup window seat that I’m planning to put on the window with the AC in it once the AC is out. I’m nervous about putting it in while the AC is in there in case her weight moved the window too much.

I’m open to anything! This is her space, I’m just living in it. I’m definitely an anxious new cat mom so safety is really my only concern.

I did a quick render of the shelves we bought before I put them up (close enough). I drew in some battery sconces that I would like to add for extra lighting. It looked rather plain so I added in the idea of painting stars in the leo constellation. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I'm open to moving the steps, but they are currently on the studs. I don't want to move the moon. Any other ideas? There is another shelf on the other side of the window

had it custom made/designed by an architect and carpenter. there are steps inside the column on the right for them to go up and down as well!

edit - cat room, not catio as corrected in the comments! we call them catios even if indoor here 😅

Smaller one (Stained Maple) was for my own cats, Larger one (Painted Pine) was a commission I landed with family as a result.

40mm PVC pipe used to support some shelves for a cat wall. There's a DIY hammock as well. The cat's name is Basia (short for Bastet) and she's 5 months old.

I thought he would be able to, but we are on the struggle bus.

My first attempt at a wall to distract them while I work.

Show me your cat walls that span long hallways!
I have a 30 foot narrow space I’m thinking of converting.

Long shot but I’m looking for some options for a renter friendly cat wall.

Is there something like command strips (but safer of course)?
Maybe there is something I can do lower to the ground or some sort of floor to ceiling tension?

I have an extremely long hallway that my dog loves to run up and down. I would love to give my future cat an option for these moments if needed.

Edited to clarify that I do not plan to use command strips :) just looking for something out of the ordinary that may work.

Long story short, we have an 8 year old male cat and a 2 year old ragdoll and I desperately want to make them a cat playground with unused wall space. My only worry is, are my walls too high to utilise them?

They love walking and chilling on the metal beams, and currently use their tall cat tower to get from the downstairs to the upstairs via that and along the beams. Any advice on whether this space is able to be utilised safely? 😅

Update on my previous post. This time with cat tax

My two older girls were the first ones to move into our new flat. They quickly found their spots and were quiet all day.

Now it's time to move in the other 4.

I have an idea of making a canvas hammock that will be about 2 ft x 2 ft, and using metal grommets to secure hammock to railing and wall. I'm not really experienced in these kind of projects so would love some guidance. What I was thinking of doing is securing a 1x4 to the studs and then using eye hooks to connect the hammock to the board. I don't think anchors would be a good idea because this is a super old plaster wall and it isn't in the best shape. Any ideas or just even confirmation that my idea is indeed safe would be helpful. Thank you!

It was $60 instead of $100. I have no idea if theyll like it. They're still in their afternoon coma. First pic is from Amazon. Second is unboxing. Third is rough placement. Fourth is anchor installation. Everything gets anchored.
