Vanessa Von Hessert is the last of our profiles from last thursday's meetup. Vanessa, a furniture designer in training, was kind enough to share with us one of her latest innovations in pet furniture design.
Formerly a web designer, Vanessa has chosen to dedicate herself to learning the art of furniture design. Her home hosts a few of her earlier projects, (stay tuned for a house tour later this month) but most recently she has turned her attention to accommodating her two cats...

Oh, I LOVE it! My kitties would too.
I wish my kitties could do that!
I wish people said "cats" instead of "kitties."
My kitty loves to be called kitty!
And she'd love that little ledge, I bet.
How clever - Cat shelves!
(For when you don't know where to put your pussy...)
love them and so would my"boys", is that better than kitties?
Oh, this is the Vanessa from a previous house tour? This tour is one of my all time favourites. Looks like she has moved since then tough.

OMG- this would be so much better than the food station on the counter!
Did she make these? Impressive- I need one, because my dogs always try to eat my kitty's food, so I have had to put it up high out of reach. And this is such an elegent solution- bravo! bravo!
