for the fuzz buds


my cats won’t go anywhere near small enclosed spaces but if they did, i would love to scoop up one of these cute new pet bed/houses by leo kempf and luxxbox.


leo kempf designed the cat house above for his pet, olive. the cat can enter through a door in the bottom side and then ascends a ramp, which boosts them to the upper level. leo designed the front wall in plexi-glass and the floor made from a thick old sheepskin rug (his wife even made some small paintings that hang on the walls). in addition to having their own private home, there is also a big cardboard scratching porch for stretching and scratching. the top of the cat house is removable and the glass slides out for maintenance so if you have an outdoor cat with a desire for modern living, this might be up your alley.


the cute modern pet bed (called ‘shed’) above was designed by australian design studio luxxbox. i love that it’s sleek enough to keep out in the open. click here to check out luxxbox and here to pick up your own ‘shed’. [thanks, nicola!]

Yeah, my cat never took to these kinds of things either, but if she had, I would have snatched up the bottom one instantly!

The first one is also cool, but truthfully (and this may be weird) it seems so one-of-a-kind and personal (maybe b/c of the mini paintings inside) that I wouldn’t feel right having one of my own!

as it happens i am in the process of building a small, tri-section cat house for our three cats. with cold weather approaching its important to provide warm shelter for our furry friends should they find themselves left outside for whatever reason – especially older pets.

from the links you provided I can’t figure out if these things are available in the states. I’d love to feature them in our holiday gift guide if they are.
