Multiple points of access are important to allow the cats to get up and down so they never felt stuck or cornered.

As Rebbeca talked about the design, she said,”When the cats reach the central post they can choose to take the steps down to the floor or continue around the post to the second catwalk on the other side. At the bottom of the post, I used over 200 feet of manila rope to wrap the first two feet of the post giving the cats a very convenient place to scratch.”
“I added more shelves to allow the cats to travel north along the west wall and access the second floor,” Rebecca shared.

She wanted to create something unique and that’s how she came up with the idea of “leaf- wall”. Rebecca further added, “This space gives the cats multiple perching spots and they can even access the staircase from here.” “We were able to use wood that complemented the existing wood in the home.”
The entire project took about three months and it was worth the effort.

Catifying a house is not an easy job and when it’s done right, it can benefit both the parties. “The cats are doing great. They are all integrated and there is no way it would have gone this smoothly without the cat shelves, perches, and walkway,” said the owner, Eliza.
