Cats' House FROM THE PUBLISHER
The Cat's House is a beautiful tour of the ultimate cat-friendly home. Illustrated throughout with dynamic color photos, the book tells how a simple plan to build a room divider transformed a typical tract home into a playful feline jungle gym: 100-feet of brightly colored aerial walkways carry calicoes overhead, spiral staircases and giant scratching posts let tomcats move from floor to ceiling height at will, and creating peepholes let tabbies spy on activities in other rooms. Readers will love the strong architectural design, the vibrant photographs, and the refreshing philosophy that cats have a natural right to pleasure and to a stimulating environment.
FROM THE CRITICS
Library Journal
What began as a simple floor-to-ceiling scratching post to prevent Walker's nine cats from sharpening their claws on the furniture is now a whole set of ramps, stairs, and cat walks throughout his house. The playfulness of this house, which has been painted in over 40 bright colors and contains Walker and his wife's collection of Dian de los Meurtos figurines and toys, comes across in the numerous photographs. Instructions are included for building ramps, cat walks, and mouse holes through which the cats pass from room to room. This fun book is recommended for large interior design collections.
