Cat houses that your cat does not deserve [View all]



Cats like to sit on computer keyboards, kitchen counters, houseplants and infants' cribs, so it's usually a waste of energy to provide a cat house.

However, these elaborate structures designed by Los Angeles architects might be worth the effort. Your cat will think it is an elaborate piece of fine art, compelling the feline to appropriate it as its own territory.

The architects provided their cat design services, pro bono of course, as part of a fundraiser put on by Architects for Animals for the nonprofit Fixnation to support spaying and neutering cats in the Los Angeles area.

The houses were then donated to Fixnation, which will donate them to various cats that live outdoors, according to representatives of the event.

We're expecially fond of the chaise lounge/cat cage. Cats not included. No dogs allowed.
