While they’re generally unfussy animals to take care of, cats do still require some fun and enrichment to keep them fulfilled. At home, that can come in the form of a cat playground that features things like cat walks and shelves.
From dedicated play areas to vertical spaces, these 5 cat-friendly homes has some ideas for you to take note of:
1. This maximalist Geylang home with a cat ‘highway’ in the living room
Cats love to perch in high places, so these homeowners thoughtfully incorporated a large cat walk in their living room for their three adorable kitties to use.
They’re also connected to the massive TV feature wall that is furnished with shelves for their cats to jump on. Fun fact: this eye-catching feature was carefully designed to accommodate their largest cat’s body and jumping height!
2. This minimalist Serangoon home with a TV feature wall that doubles up as a cat walk
If you prefer something a little more streamlined, this home's cat playground might be it. A cat staircase built behind the entryway partition slowly leads up to the area above the TV.
With fluted panels matching the slats on the cat staircase, this could work well in any home – even those without any cats!
3. This jungle-themed Buangkok home where it's all about the cats
Cat towers, highways, a full-length scratching post – you name it, and this home has it.
Most people may find the overall look of this home overwhelming, but with numerous cats that can camouflage into the design, we think it's just a bigger, better place to play hide-and-seek with some frisky kitties!
4. This contemporary Woodlands flat with a dedicated ‘cat wall’
Got active cats? Make them happy with a wall dedicated to their use, with cat furniture like bridges and shelves for them to play on to their hearts’ content. They may just be so occupied with their ‘area’ that they may forego scratching your other furniture!
Oh, and we have to point out the custom sleeping area in the bedroom – perfect for clingy cats who can’t be separated from their owners!
5. This condo with a vertical play area in the balcony
Not every cat owner has the space for a full-fledged cat wall or room, and that’s completely fine. You can create a fun vertical play area for your kitties with just about any empty wall – just like these homeowners, who have created just that in their balcony.
Of course, make sure to mesh the balcony up and not let the kitties near there when the barbecue’s on!
