I made this cute little cat tree, from my Pet Shop kit from China.

Isn't it cute? All of the wood pieces, the legs, bead, and green felt were provided in the kit, along with instructions.

I don't know if you can tell, but the wood pieces for this item are nice and sturdy; great quality.

I glued the pieces together with Alene's Tacky Glue, Quick Grab.

The scratch posts are tiny lengths of toothpick or skewer-type wood, wrapped with unraveled rafia type paper.

The base was just a piece of felt but I found it wasn't sturdy enough that way so I added a piece of cereal box cardboard onto the back.

After the parts have been glued and allowed to dry, they were glued together.

I also made a simple pet dish, using a length of corrugated cardboard glued around a cut out circle of cardboard. The instructions said to use a circle of paper but I wanted it sturdier.

The cat toy is just a bead glued to a bit of the rafia paper, which I rolled in my fingers to make thinner.

Here it is; the glue is still wet in this picture. I think a mini cat would like this, don't you?
