I'm thinking this railroad tie is a better idea than just concrete. maybe use some cement as "mortar" to keep it in place an also drive in some rebar through the railroad tie.

Thing is, you have to have the tools to cut it to shape, and we don't know if feline is a gal or guy, but some upper body strength necessary to drive in rebar...

If we're talking a little gal, the cement might be the easiest way to go.

Haha. Feline is a not-weak-not-powerlifter gal with no strong male friends.

I like the idea of the railroad tie, and I even have some in the vacant lot behind my place, but cutting it would be a beast, and (naturally) it’s not a clean angle. There’s a minicurb under the main one that’s uneven and broken away, which is why they added the gravel.

I’m thinking concrete is my best bet.
