Professional Designer Turns Ordinary Home Into A Cat Paradise!





http://blog.theanimalrescuesite.com/catparadisehome/?


Peter Cohen is a professional house builder and designer. When he bought his home in California, there were two feral cats that lived in the yard. What started out as a way to aid a couple of feral cats, later became a safe haven for 15 rescues that live the dream life! Cohen built bridges, indoor tunnels, and passageways throughout the home and the cats LOVE it! How cool is this?

That would be paradise for me!

The only downside is I get a massive oof when one of my big cats jumps from the dresser to my stomach at 3:00am, I'd hate to feel it from a ceiling jump, unless it was ceiling cat.

We've got ramps, steps, shelves and catwalks for our cats, but they are nowhere near as polished-looking as these.

Slapping bright paint on things helps a lot, too.

although they apparently have three incomes in the house, so that helps.

Still

$40-50,000 for ramps
15 litter boxes
lots of cat food
a bunch of surgeries (and other vet bills)
4 robot vacuums (@ $400)

apparently they are not in the group of Americans who live paycheck to paycheck and worry about saving enough to ever be able to retire.
