traffic cone (I used this one) rope or cord (I used two packages of this rope) hot glue gun and glue sticks pom-poms (instructions at the end of the post) First, I spray-painted my cones with Rust-Oleum Ultra Cover Paint+Primer in white. This step is optional, but I chose to paint them so that none of the neon orange could peak through the rope. Spray with a couple of light coats and let it dry over night. Once you get near the top, get your pom-poms and poke the strings down through the hole in the top of the cone. Apply a dab of glue at the top and press the pom-pom strings into it. Apply more glue and wrap your rope over the pom-pom strings, encasing them within the rope. Switch back to full lines of glue near the top of the cone, glueing the rope to itself as you cover the hole in the top. Cut off excess rope. 1. To make the fabric cover, measure the diameter of the opening on the underside of the cone. Mine was 7.5 inches. 2. In the center of your fabric, draw intersecting lines the same length as the diameter of the circle into an asterisk shape.

3. Draw a circle around the lines. Draw a smaller circle an inch within your first circle. 4. Make a starting cut in the middle. 5. Cut out the smaller interior circle. 6. Make cuts every half of an inch from the edge of the smaller circle to the line of the larger circle. 7. Lay down some paper to protect your work surface and spray one side of your fabric and the square base of your cone with a light coat of spray adhesive. 8. Slide the fabric over the top of the cone and onto the square base. Stretch it over the base as you press it down and smooth out any wrinkles or puckers. 9. Trim excess fabric, leaving a couple of inches around the edge of the base. 10. Use your hot glue to glue the fabric to the bottom inside edge of the base. 11. Trim excess fabric. 12. Apply a thin line of glue to the base of the cone and apply rope or cord. Continue to wrap the cord up the base, applying dabs of glue every few inches. Apply pom-poms and finish wrapping cord as described in the last step of Style 1.

Sabrina is a happy cat again now that I found a replacement for her old scratching post. She started using it the day I unpacked it and uses it several times a day. I've owned the Petmate Sisal Rope Cat Scratching Post for several years. I have several of them positioned throughout the house. As a life long cat owner of indoor-only, outdoor-only (when living in a rural area), and indoor/outdoor cats, I can agree that cats HAVE to scratch. My cat has been scratching the heck out of this thing for over 6 months. It's the only thing she scratches and she's indoor. The base isn't heavy enough to keep it from falling over, but good besides that. The bottom of this thing is hard plastic, so it has no resistance when placed on a hardwood floor. Seems well made, otherwise. My cat loves this scratcher but the bottom isn't weighed down so it moves around on our tile floor when he's really going at it.
