Quoted from nighttaco:Any advice for the cat shelves? I want to have some carpeted shelves spaced apart for them to play on, I'm not handy at all
Very easy. You only need a screwdriver and some sandpaper. I got about 11" x 40" pine boards and shelf angle brackets from a local hardware store. The boards are already planed, but I lightly sanded the edges to make them smooth. Mount the brackets to boards, and then fasten them to wall.
Round pieces of carpeting, about 16" in diameter, were on discount. I guess they are meant to be used on chairs. I stapled two of those into each shelf to make it nice and soft for cats. Small nails can also be used. And of course you can trim the carpeting to match size of board, for more cleaner look.
