What is the best and most secure way to attach these crates to the wall?
I need a way to attach crates securely to the wall so my cats can reach the higher shelves easier. Thanks!!

Not knowing what crates from Michaels you are using it is difficult to say for sure. If they are solid you can screw through the back right into the stud in the wall.

If there's any weight to the crates you have to secure them into the wooden wall studs. If you tap the wall and it sounds hollow...no stud there.If you tap the wall and there is a dead sound, you located a stud. Or use a stud finder. If you live in a condo the studs are metal so this system doesn't work.

I attached a wall-mounted medicine cabinet with heavy-duty L-brackets. As previously mentioned. I put the top ones which were not visible on the outside back of the cabinet, and inside at the bottom, so they would not be visible. You can also just screw the crates into the wall, as suggested. Just make sure to find studs, use longer wood screws, and washers to prevent them from going through the wood. You could also use cleats.
