You got it: More Cat Stuff! This Time, More Shelves...

Because I pretty much think that shelves solve everything, I have been doing research on improving the cat habitat in the office (where they spend the night) with shelves. I have always felt bad about cooping three cats up in a tiny office overnight, but it's the only choice besides being mauled as they clamber over our heads to get a good view from the bedroom window. What's more, with all my experience in making shelves, I can probably get it done in a dedicated day! Here's some of my favorite photos from the web:

Not exactly for cats, but doesn't it challenge the imagination? It could be...

Jake and Karen's DIY Cat Platforms (moderncat.net)

Not sure why these wouldn't open towards the window, but they are a nice idea, because the cats can scratch on the side! They also spent the extra time to rout the wood, so the tiles would sit flush....can't say I have the know-how for that, but can definitely nod to the attention to detail!

Introducing HabiCat Wall-mounted Habitat for Cats

Last but not least, I LOVE this, but it's $250. If the shelves were going to be more on display, like in a living room or bedroom I would say maybe it's worth it, but for the office I am going to go a little more diy, a little more whimsical. I like the idea of making them fit into a painting....

I'll let you know what comes of it!
