Summarize this article in one sentence.
Take an old wooden stool and purpose it by wrapping the legs with sisal rope. Secure the ends of the rope to the wood with some hot glue. Size and cut a piece of carpet to fit the top of the stool, and secure it with hot glue. Once the hot glue dries, your cat will have endless fun scratching away at the covered stool. If you do not have a wooden stool, visit your local thrift store and purchase an inexpensive one. Your local department store may even have a plastic one to use as an alternative. Put hot glue around the bottom portion of the cone where the triangular point meets the base. Begin wrapping your sisal rope, in a color and thickness of your choosing, around the cone on top of the glue. Continue laying a foundation of glue along the cone and wrapping it with the rope until the entire cone is covered. Then, allow it to dry for 1-2 hours before letting your cat scratch it.  Purchase a rubber traffic cone in the sports section of your local department store or online with major retailers. Sisal rope can be purchased at a local hardware or craft store. Consider spray-painting the traffic cone your favorite color before wrapping it with rope. This way any portion of the cone that is visible will be aesthetically pleasing.
Wrap a wooden stool with rope to create a sturdy, long-lasting scratching post. Turn a traffic cone into a lightweight scratching post for small living spaces.
