DIY Cat Tunnel

Mei from SweetFurr Family sent in photos of this fun see-through cat tunnel she created for her kitties. Using simple materials, she made a kitty playland that her cats clearly love.

The tunnel structure is made with the support frames from collapsible drying nets, simply remove the mesh from the frame to re-purpose it. Mei experimented with using cellophane for the outer portion of the tunnel, because she wanted it to be transparent, but the cellophane was a bit too flimsy so she made another tunnel with a clear shower curtain.

The outer covering was attached to the frame with metal clips, no sewing or gluing required.

Mei added ribbons to the inside of the tunnel. I would NOT recommend this if you have cats that like to chew long strings, like my cats do, because if they ingest the ribbons it could cause serious problems, but Mei’s cats don’t seem to chew on the strings, instead they quite entertained by them.
