Preparation

1
A small piece of plywood like this would be perfect to make a cat window bed. Measure the windowsill and piece of plywood to determine what size the bed will be. If necessary, cut the plywood to fit the windowsill length.
-
2
Trace the piece of plywood onto the back of the carpeting, using a marker.
-
3
Cut the carpeting 2 inches outside the outline, using a craft knife.
Assembly
-
4
Put the carpeting face down on a hard surface with the plywood inside the outlined area.
-
5
Starting in the center of each side, pull the edge of the carpeting tight around the back of the plywood and staple into place with a staple gun.
-
6
Use a staple gun to attach carpet to plywood. Staple out from the center, attaching the carpeting to the back of the plywood.
-
7
Trim the carpeting at the corners and staple any loose carpeting to secure it to the plywood.
-
8
Screw one shelf bracket to each end of one long side of the plywood, 2 inches from the edge.
-
9
Mount the bed to the wall just below the windowsill, using the remaining screws.
