Here’s another cat-friendly DIY project from IKEA Hacker, this time using the Stolmen clothes storage system components to create a minimal and extremely functional cat climber. This design makes great use of vertical space — perfect for small homes. Read more about this project here.

In case you were wondering where Boba got the cool white fur pad that he is lounging on in the moderncat gallery, it is a member of the Bastis Blond family at IKEA. The pad can be purchased by itself and used alone or on your cat’s favorite lounger (as Boba demonstrates with his Fatboy), or you can pair it with the Bastis Blond rattan cat bed/house.

Easily create your own customized kitty stairway using the simple Bjarnum/Jarpen shelf system from IKEA. The shelves can be cut to any length and the cut edge is concealed by the sturdy metal hardware that attaches the shelf to the wall.

This project was originally posted on Flickr by Jujuo (being demonstrated by his beautiful cats Juju and Toy) and it was also blogged at two of my favorite sites, Katt-Trappa and IKEA Hacker.

Something new from IKEA, this is the Bastis Blond scratching post and climbing tree. This is a large item, standing almost 71 inches tall. Made of rattan on a steel frame, the tree mounts to the wall with the shelves hidden behind the large scratching surface. You’ll have to make a trip to your closest IKEA to check it out in person, since it is only available in stores.
