Feline design: Cat houses are a thing


Feline-friendly homes your cat will thank you for.


Pet owners will do anything to make their pets comfortable, but would you go as far as changing the interior or perhaps the architectural structure of your house? These cat owners did. After all, envronment is everything for cats. Elevated walkways, stepping-stone shelving and cat doors and entryways make up these incredible enriched homes.

Design website, Dezeen, explored six unique cat homes. Here are their favourites.

A long and elaborate staircase stretching up to the entrance of the home and finishing with a ledge. The feline staircase allows cats to greet their guests and their owner without having to dash down. 

The Cat House by Key Operation

Stepping-stone shelves make up this cat friendly home in Tokyo. The home, designed by Key Operation allows the cats to use the stepping stones as an alternative to the staircase and landings, leaving the family with sole use of pathways throughout the house.

Annis Road by Scenario Architecture

Scenario Architects built a cat walkway extending from the kitchen to their litter tray, providing easy access and full view of the ground floor.

House-Is by Do Do

The owner wanted his home to be a creative space while also being comfortable for both, him and his cat. An elevated walk way above the kitchen is shortly followed by a cat hole allowing his feline to pop in and out as and when.

Inside Out by Takeshi Hosaka Architects

We love this creation by Japanese studio Takeshi Hosaka. The clever design incorporates an outdoor space within two structures, fusing a cat's outdoor environment with the comforts of a humans' home.

The staggered and differing heights of the shelving in this tiny studio flat in Taipei, Taiwan proves that even if you’re short on space there is always a way to accommodate your home for your furry friend. The staggered shelving acts as a playground for the cats allowing them to jump back and forth and have a nap atop the slabs.
