Cat House: home for kitties
In Japan, there’s a residence that’s fit for your pet cats. Called the House of Taishido or Cat House, this home occupies 30 square meters and is three storeys high. It’s located in an urban district west of Tokyo. According to the Tokyo-based architecture firm Key Operation Inc., the home was not initially designed as a house for cats, but certain features were added later on in the design of the home, making the abode friendly for feline pets.
Another architecture firm, Fauna Plus DeSIGN, is known for designing custom homes for cats. It has designed a cat house that accommodates 16 cats at a time. Features of the house include a see-through cat tunnel that stretches around the room, small holes in the walls that serve as portals to the other rooms, a multistage cube of shelves with cat beds, a floor-to-ceiling scratching post which is covered in hemp rope, and a special staircase that serve as cat beds.
