These Cute Cat Tents are Made from Old T-Shirts

— July 8, 2014 — Lifestyle
If you happen to have a bunch of old T-shirts laying around and you’re cat needs a new place to sleep, why not turn those unused T-shirts into a series of nifty cat tents?

Cats love to play so making a miniature cat-sized tent for them to snuggle up in makes perfect sense. To make this DIY cat tent all you need are two plastic rods, a needle and some thread. Start by sewing the bottom of the T-shirt shut to create a closed, pillow-case like shape. Then place two plastic bendy rods diagonal inside the T-shirt using the neck hole. The height of your cat tent can be adjusted depending on the length of the rods. The T-shirt neck hole conveniently becomes your cat’s personal entrance into their brand new tent.

3. Customizable Pet Accessories - The trend of customization extends to pet accessories, with cat owners looking for ways to create unique and personalized spaces for their feline friends.
Industry Implications
1. Pet Products - The pet products industry can capitalize on the trend of upcycling and DIY projects by offering eco-friendly and customizable cat beds and furniture.
2. Textile and Apparel - The textile and apparel industry has an opportunity to promote sustainable practices by encouraging the upcycling of old T-shirts into cat tents and other pet products.
3. Craft and Hobby - The craft and hobby industry can tap into the DIY trend by providing materials, tutorials, and tools for pet owners to create their own cat tents and other pet accessories.
