Strengthen the corners with tape.

Drill angles 1.5 cm from the edge.
To have the right size holes, first drill with a yarn needle and then use the hang piece you cut off.

Last furniture : your cat!

Damn it if, like mine, he won’t put a foot in the tent you have just did for him… and other cats would want!
Too bad, but it was funny to make.

DIY found on Instructables.

ADDENDUM

As my cat didn’t want to use it, I gave the tent for my friend’s Marie yorkshire … more concilante and very pleased!
