The Cats' House

Feline lovers, get ready for some pie-in-the-sky dreams come true: The Cats’ House designed by Japanese architecture firm Fauna+DeSIGN is dizzying in the amount of playful, yet tastefully designed, details created to amuse 16 very fortunate felines. Rounded corners throughout, bookcase steps, tunnels, skylights, ceiling catwalks and a floor to ceiling scratching post make this possibly the coolest pet-centric home we've ever seen.

 
 

Check out the full details (but in Japanese) over at The Cats' House website.

Good thing it is hardwood, because there has to be a lot of hair for 16 cats.

I think this is based off the American book "The Cats' House" by Bob Walker in California. He and his wife created an amazing and colorful house for their cats.

I'd be so nervous about overhead catfights. Imagine sipping your tea and suddenly a scrabble breaks out and a cat comes flailing down into the eggs? I'd try and make sure the whole floor was trampolines.

Search for the torrent "Discovery The Ultimate Guide House Cats". Check out the house in there. :)

Love those glass tunnels. Still wondering... how do they handle the litter boxes?

Are these cats tolerant of people? They obviously have the advantage. I would keep them happy and well fed.
