Arts and Crafts with Frances: Cthulhu Cat House

YES
I just moved into a new flat; which I carefully selected for three main reasons:
1. It's super close to Uni
2. The inside is all wooden so I can pretend I'm in a Scandinavian ski lodge
3. Kitty!
The kitty's name is Greyskull*, and she gets anxious because she's tiny and gets beat up by all the other cats. So we decided to make her a kitty play house to cheer her up- and what better place for her to frisk and gambol then in a cubbyhole modeled after the Elder God himself?
You're super jealous, I know. But don't worry- you to can experience the magic and make your own!

STEP ONE
Get yo self some boxes. You can get a mean haul from either Pak 'n Save or Moore Wilsons. Make sure you get at least one big enough to be the body of your ocean dwelling leviathan. 
Boxes!
 STEP TWO
Cut those bitches up. Don't be shy, just get in there. It doesn't really matter of they're a bit crooked, kitty won't judge you. I traced around my hands to get the claws and the wings I did freehand. Glue it all in place and make sure it's fully dry before step three...
Something's missing...
Much better!
STEP THREE
Paint! Get tester pots from Bunnings; they're really cheap, tons of colour options and one coat will do you.

STEP 4
Habitation. 
Does not know if want? 
Loves it.
