Perhaps you remember the unbelievable cat-friendly house from Japan that I posted previously. Well, here is another one that may be even more incredible. The Cats’ House designed by Japanese architecture firm Fauna +DeSIGN was built for the owners 16 cats (and 5 canines). It has every kind of climbing and perching structure a feline family could ever dream of, all integrated beautifully into a modern interior.
There appears to be great attention to detail throughout the house. Notice the rounded corners on the climbing shelves. Much safer for cats than sharp pointed corners.
There are even access areas for humans to make it easier to clean the upper perching areas.
Lots of natural light gives the space a wonderful open feel. This handsome silver tabby is certainly enjoying himself!
Catwalks and shelves galore along with secret tunnels and passageways just for cats.
This giant floor-to-ceiling sisal-wrapped scratching and climbing post has got to by my favorite feature.
There are many more photos at www.catshouse.jp as well as some videos of the cats enjoying their home.
Thank goodness that Goma’s mom Sachie understands Japanese, because she keeps finding these incredible things! Thanks, Sachie!
With such attention to detail, I’m wondering — how did they handle the 15 cat boxes?!
Beautiful! The more details the better, especially about litter box placement and practicalities like cleaning and catching the cats when it’s time for grooming or the vet.
YEAH!! I’m with Violet! How DID they deal with ALLLLLL those cat boxes????
It looks like a wonderful house for cats…does it house people too?
Wow! My next house will be designed around my four furry friends.
I saw the previous house and this one has even more elevated “highways” for the kitties to traverse! Japan always seems to have the coolest homes
Amazing design! Its cat friendly and human friendly too!
