Question: cat furniture

Cat furniture/trees that don't look like crap? Looking for plans or ready-made decent looking cat furniture that is fun for my cats but pleasant to look at. Everything I've seen so far looks really, really ugly. Think IKEA-ish in form, function and price.

Postmodern pets seems to be what you want, too bad it looks like everything on the site is unavailable now. Maybe you can call them or do some ebay searches on their product name.

Thank you for this post, I hope that a lot of links show up here - I want the same thing but I'm tired of looking at carpet-covered monstrosities. The cool ones I've seen are all over $500 - and sorry, but cat furniture is NOT going to cost more than my couch.

Oh, and also look at the first issue of Craft magazine -- there are plans for this corrugated cardboard cat castle that bolts to the wall.

therefinedfeline.com is different looking cat furniture and under $500. I don't have any pieces from them but I've looked enough times that I thought of them when I read this.

If you're at all crafty you might take a look at one of these recent threads about making your own.

Apartment Therapy recently had a pet decor contest. The cat stairs using floating shelves is the only design that really fits your requirements but you may get some ideas from the other entries and from the cat house.

We've been basically pleased with this. Small footprint, reasonable cost, cat loves it. We did have to put a bracket in the ceiling to keep it from popping loose when she dives at it, though...

I'm fond of the Eames Catsic range.

I once found a really cool product that was basically a piece of wood attached to the wall perpendicularly that served as a ramp that led to a shelf. There was even an add-on that made a "house" on the ledge for privacy/enclosure.

So nothing on the floor, similiar to this only MUCH more attractive (I think it was all wood). Unfortunately I can't find it on google (I saw it years ago, so perhaps the person is no longer making it).

I also found this via a search, which is a better looking version of the previous link (actually, it is linked above).

I think this is rather cute.

(And also wanted to point out to agregoli that you did the same thing you called out Gungho for. Twice.)

Shrug - and you are any better than either of us by pointing that out? LOL
