Melissa,
That is a great idea! I always notice those spools
and try to think what they might be good for... Once
as a kid , okay, as a hippe, one of my first apts,
they worked for tables, but I'm more worldly now, or
at least I have a real table.
But , YES! A cat structure seems perfect. You could
do a lot with them and some carpet and imagination,
like little cat compartments for napping cats, using
the bigger spools. I will be thinking about this...
My son will probably have a fit. Mom is collecting
more junk... but oh well...(He attempts to keep me in
line...)
Thanks, Glenda
