Think, teenage boy kitty with complete disregard for life and limb—his, yours, other kitties’, the dog’s, the houseplant’s. This is who I think Stunt Kitty is—your resident insane, but sweet, daredevil. Here is my favorite Stunt Kitty episode from Ultra Kawaii. Remember that Stunt Kitty is a professional stunt kitten and knows what he’s doing. (thanks Mark!)

DIY: Make Your Own Litter Box Cabinet
Make your own hidden litter box cabinet. You can camouflage you cat’s litter box and make it match your other furniture.
These instructions are pretty good, but you will need some knowledge about the use of power tools. And you’ll need something like a jig saw to cut the opening. The design includes a wire platform made from an inverted wire basket to help get cat litter off your kitty’s feet. My cats wouldn’t like how open the grid is on the wire platform, so I would use something like a wire cooling rack (for baking) that has a smaller grid. Or you can leave the wire platform off.

Best Purr Ever
Diesel has quite the purr. He’s happy with a little attitude thrown in.
Skritch, A Modern Scratching Post
This sleek, wall-mounted scratching post by Wowbow is pretty nifty. I couldn’t find the Skritch for sale anywhere—the UK online store doesn’t seem to working. Too bad.
Still, I thought it might give you DIY-ers some ideas. It would be pretty easy to wrap a heavy-duty cardboard tube with sisal carpet. The only trick would be finding something attractive to mount the post on the wall. Ideas anyone?
A minimalist scratching post could go almost anywhere and look nice—not to mention it would make your felines happy. I like that it doesn’t take up floor space.
Check out the thumbnail to see how it looks with different colored sisal.
