Floating Cat Shelf Boxes

[@kathyl6677]

Very clever! You are the first person to mention creating a lip to hide the carpet. I like that idea. Two things I would suggest you add somehow. One is to recommend a twist pile carpet, not loop, as the cat's claws can snag on loop and ravel the carpet. Not desirable. Second, and optional, I suggest the carpeting be secured with Velcro (hook and loop tape) so that, if necessary, the carpet can be removed for cleaning, or replaced at a future date. -- Well done! Thank you for posting. :)

This is a guy after my own heart. He loves his wife, kitty, and woodworking! Not only that, but he is talented and creative.

[@JuanPabloContrerasC]

Me too xD

[@laineywright2696]

@@JuanPabloContrerasCI just checked out your cover of Rain- Vinnie Moore Guitar... So smooth like silk. You are a very, very talented man.

I used nightstand drawers from old nightstands found in garage sales and other places , cleaned them up, painted them. Used a stud finder and attached the drawer with long screws to the stud.

Hi....Do you take requests for making cat shelf boxes?

[@707Papa]

Nice job! Good clean work my friend.

[@jlibermann6136]

Ben, thank you for explaining clearly how to build these beautiful shelves. Bravo

[@benh2517]

Love the idea. And the cat! Good job :)

[@charlie-mf1up]

[@allstargoldeneye]

Can you post the dimensions of the four individual pieces?

[@dodiebondwood]

Wow, those are AMAZING!!!

[@decmorrisss]

Just subscribed!

[@carsonnichols7428]

I love wood shop. it's so cool to watch your videos and I love them so much.

[@Rissie]

I love it! I would expand and put another set by the other window and connect the top shelves with a little bridge

[@LizzieWestBathandBody]

Thank you for this, I love all your little hacks for getting everything just right! I know what everything is as my wood-shoppe in Santa Ana was well equipped I want this set up for my Garage! What dust system do you use? Very Professional! Liked and Subscribed!

[@trasselkuf893]

Looking great - you should make more of them so the cat can go over to the other small Window, but also a long one over the big window and down to a furniture 🙂 so called supercat highway (Jackson Galaxy )

[@Piper0516]

Trasselkuf I wouldn’t know about having kitty walk over the tv.

[@djjones7039]

Great idea. I love Jackson galaxy

[@KeeplookingUP777]

Beautiful practical shelves, and fun for kitty!!😎 You could sale these!😁

[@billeberhart6606]

Sweet idea, great video! I'm also very glad that none of the nails that shot into the wood didn't bounce of a knot or something else inside the wood and go into hit your other hand holding the wood.

[@richardfay8298]

Great vid - love the box shelf idea and your instruction left nothing to be desired - perfect.

[@freakyj3175]

This cat be doing Minecraft parkour.

[@Anthroid9]

How gonna put in all that work, then cheap out of adhesive for the carpet? Use some staples or nails

[@superhero6785]

Great inspiration! My wife and I are getting a Bengal and need lots of good jumping, climbing, and scratching places around our house. I'm looking to make some wall mounted shelves and scratching posts. These look great!

[@elim4605]

This is so helpful, thank you for sharing!! I'm about to try this out. Did you use two 5"x1"x8' boards and one 7"x1'X8'?

[@jaymepittroff]

I love how the cat is watching at the beginning of the video.... LOL I was curious why boxes vs just shelves?

[@scottwiley8547]

Ben. We’re spending too much time together. I can’t stop watching your videos. 😀

[@johndanniballe3236]

What a great job, you are very talented and must love your wife very much to make it match with the cabinet you made. Love the floating box idea hoping to use it in my home soon. The video after yours was not as nice he used L brackets and made it look trashy.

[@aurorathericer3492]

That is so awesome!

[@normanrowe2831]

Nicely done.

[@ShipCreek]

Im curious whether the cat jumped on to the tv? Two more boxes over the telly would give puss the best spot to hang out while you are watching tv. Nice designed boxes.

[@jeanniealford4234]

Your Gus is more spoiled than my cat. Lucky Gus.

[@plasma3211]

Where did you get the stud finder? Is that a Dewalt product and will it work on lathe and plaster walls?

[@pegclose3082]

thanks.. nice

[@Esophagone]

Cat perch good, made of shelves that are easily reached by a cat to test the laws of gravity...bad.

[@gyoumans2901]

Clever 😸

[@dcat2004]

Nice!

[@tahirahkhan8994]

Such a wonderful man to his girlfriend or wife

[@colleenthecatlady2344]

Awesome!!! You are so talented!!! Sure Gus thanks you too!!!

[@cathyhall7457]

Very nice.. thank you for sharing

[@DanaObunny]

I love that he did it for his wife tho. So sweet!

[@bigd7861]

The cat told her to have it done. 😂

[@rangersmith4652]

Great job. I'm going to use your design as the basis for a cat highway build I'm planning.

[@BenTardif]

Good luck!

[@jameschristiansson3137]

Better looking than other similar ideas.

[@hisetenespanolbysara6556]

How much for a set?

[@susanmathis1682]

[@sharonhunter337]

[@susanmeehan2023]
