Catification

We adopted our 3rd rescue cat Birdie in August, 2014.  She was very shy and scared of our 2 rescue boys. I have since built her 25 platforms throughout our house, both upstairs and down, so she can safely be a part of our family without feeling anxious.  She loves all her platforms, especially the ones leading to the alcove above our TV.  Darwin has started to join her, which she allows in small doses 🙂

DINING ROOM CATIFICATION:

This was my very first cat platform project, before we adopted Birdie. It allowed Bonkers and Darwin access to bird watching from our dining room window. It also allows them to see what is going on in the driveway and street. The platforms are low enough that Bonkers can pull himself up:

UPSTAIRS HALL CATIFICATION:

My most recent creation was a collection of platforms framing the doorway to the girl cave – Birdie loves them!  She enjoys sunning herself under the skylight, looking out the window, or watching me work in the girl cave:

She has a raised litter box here, as well, which allows her to do her business safely away from Bonkers [who can’t jump]:

Darwin often joins her on the platforms at night:

UPDATE 6/28/2018:

I have since removed 4 of the upstairs hall platforms, including the litter box one:

A few weeks ago I redid one of the dining room platforms and added a 2nd:
