DIY Cat Rope Bridge
Updated Link 2021
I have 2 cats (one is my avatar) and saw these pictures below by engineering-for-cats and knew from looking at Mac Delaney’s Tumblr feed that he had a book out called Engineering for Cats. So I messaged him asking if the cat bridge was in his book. He replied that the bridge wasn’t in his book, but is now a full tutorial on his website. AWESOME
The rope bridge included in my bookcase is a well appreciated by both Pepe and Nellie. Believe it or not there actually was not room to add this to the book by the time I finished it, so the entire project is up on my website.
Here is the UPDATED LINK for the full tutorial on making the DIY Cat Rope Bridge.
