CAT-CAT, the DIY Star Wars Cat TowerIt may look like an AT-AT walker from the Star Wars universe, but this is a cat tower, a scratching post, a cubbyhole, a piece of furniture, and art. Whitney Fabre calls it a CAT-CAT. She made it out of plywood, fabric, scrap wood, and glue. Two legs are wrapped with rope, making them a fine scratching surface, and also realistic to the movie The Empire Strikes Back because of the Rebel move of disabling the Empire's war machine by tangling its legs in rope, as illustrated by the attached snowspeeder. The body of the CAT-CAT features a door that drops down to form a platform and a padded cat bed inside. What else could a cat ask for?

House of Nekko: Man Turned His House into a Cat's ParadiseSome 30 years ago, this house in Santa Barbara, California, was just an ordinary one owned by Peter Cohen. But upon encountering Bob Walker's book titled The Cats' House, which featured Walker's house transformed into a fantasyland for cats, Cohen, a general contractor, decided to do the same. That day, he began turning his home into the House of Nekko. Today, the House of Nekko still stands and is home to 24 cats.Over the years, Cohen learned many things to remember as he "catified" the House of Nekko, like catwalks should have two ways in and out, and humans should have access to all things in the house for cleaning purposes.Aside from House of Nekko, Cohen also has a non-profit organization called Zen By Cat, working to adopt and provide shelter to cats.Images: Johanna Siegmann Photography and House of Nekko via DailyPaws#Cat #Cute #catwalk #HouseofNekko

This hiss-terical little cat palace features a drawbridge, moat dwelling Kracken, and its very own bumbling bee guard.

Neko Goten: The Award-Winning Luxurious Cat Tower of Hitomi OtakeHitomi Otake was inspired by the craftmanship of traditional Japanese woodworking to build this wonderful and opulent playpen for cats called Neko Geton. It’s a small cat play-pen and cat tower that was created with the goal of better understanding cat behavior and providing a safe and pleasant environment for them to live and play in.The Neko Goten is constructed from Fukui Prefecture oak and cedar wood and is expertly carved by experts. It consists of a stairway on the left side with a hole in the ground, a clawing board next to the staircase, a place for the cat to relax above, a roller in the middle, and food storage on the lower portion. Located directly above the storage is the cat’s bedroom area. Otake designed the Neko Goten to be used in rental homes, cat cafes and vet clinics. It’s large size and multifunctionality, however, can make it difficult to fit in small Japanese dwellings. It’s also important to keep in mind the difficulties in packing and delivering such large units, especially for overseas shipping.

Dinos Dining Table is Inviting for CatsIf your cat won't leave you alone at dinner, or if you just like having your cat around at dinnertime, here's a table designed explicitly for that purpose! The table has a hole in the middle, with a handy platform underneath. Your cat can rest there, or stick his head up through the hole to keep an eye on you. This is from the Japanese retailer Dinos, who apparently are assuming you have a well-behaved cat. Otherwise, there is a wooden piece provided so you can plug the hole.
