Domestic cats naturally feel most comfortable when they have a safe place to rest where they can hide or climb to get a high vantage point. So it's not surprising that designers and interior designers are creating scratching furniture andInterpret climbing walls in a modern wayin order to integrate them more harmoniously into the furnishings. For example, the Taiwanese architectural firm INDOT designed this cat playground made of glass and wood for a family with four cats and a puppy. The cool design not only bringsVariety in the everyday life of indoor cats, but can also save the designer sofa from their claws.
The box is supported by almost hidden metal tubes and is attached to the wall. A scratching post as well as several viewing points and resting places will be built in the modern cat playground. The design offers cats the opportunity to play or relax whenever they want. From this height you can also see out the window and beyond the balcony.
There are lots of small viewing platforms and two boxes for the cats to explore. The vertical support in the box is wrapped with coarse sisal rope, creating a giant scratching post. There are two double doors on either side to allow residents access. The wooden slats and openings promote ventilation, while the glass walls and strategically placed glass box allow unobstructed ventilationView of the whole apartmentoffer.
The box made of wood and glass is neither too small nor too large, so all four cats can feel comfortable there. What makes the cat playground so cool is that it is integrated very harmoniously into the living space thanks to the choice of colors and materials. It's almost as if the box is a 3D work of art or a small animal show where the cats' natural behavior can be observed.
