Then, in moves in our foster Sophie. She is one of the friendliest dogs I have ever met and I've met a lot of dogs! She LOVES meeting new humans and dogs... Cats, not sure about them. She vacillates between wanting to chase them, and at other times ignoring them. Meanwhile, they are terrified and have been spending all of their time on the kitchen counters, and on top of the refrigerator and kichen cabinets. A little background video about her but this blog isn't really about her, though I will devote a blog post to her eventually. We do hope to eventually adopt her if she and the cats are able to cohabitate.
I went on a mission to find ways to find creative ways to make the cats feel more comfortable during this transition period. I went to IKEA and had a blast and want to share some of these great "DIY Catification" ideas that are less expensive than a cat tree and more fun in my cats' opinion.

Lets start with Shelves, these can be staggered around the wall for cats to jump from one to another. You can cover them with carpet if your like or catnip spray which mine love.
The shelves range from simple to multifunctional as you will see in the photos below.

I am in no way endorsed by IKEA but an added benefit of purchasing their products is that in addition to being reasonably priced, they are a supporter of Animal Rescue!
