Have you ever had the thought, "I'd love to get a cat tree for my adorable kitty but they are so dang fugly?" I have. It took us a while to find a carpeted one that we thought wouldn't be too much of an eyesore. But really, we'll try to find something in the future that will hopefully last a while, be fun for the furries, and nice on the eyes. Well, look no further. Below are some gems that I have come across and want to share.
Rustic Cat Trees from BJ Marketers
(I love the use of actual wood in these)
The Sky Climber from Whisker Studio
(mid-century modern, need I say more?)
The Lotus Tower from The Refined Feline
(super mod!)
I could go on and on but you can find more at Modern Cat.
I have also thought the same thing about cat beds. Why are they always so colorful or or constructed in garish animal prints?! Some of us like to have a flow throughout our homes with pet beds that add design to the space instead of taking away from it.
Check some of these out!
The Cat Cave from Whisker Studio
The Pod Bed from Hepper
More beds can be found at Modern Cat
Another thing about having felines in the home is the litter box. Don't get me wrong, I love my kitties. But let me tell you, their poop is some pungent shit (pun intended!). I have been on a mission to find an inconspicuous place to put our litter boxes (for four cats!) and how to deal with the poopy smell.
We used to have this set up:
We took the base of a HUGE fish tank, cut openings on either end, added shelves and lined five litter boxes up on the inside. Besides the boxes being inside the unit, they were also on top of litter mats in case a sassy feline decided to hang their bottom over the edge of the litter box and let some nasty nasty fall below.
After some time Googling and brainstorming we decided we were due for an upgrade. I know, I know... you're thinking "how could you ever upgrade from that amazing creation?" Well here you go:
(sorry not a great pic, taken on my iphone)
Modern Cat has a FABULOUS do it yourself section and that's where we found this much more streamline modern litter box hider that totally blew ours out of the water. Here's a link to better pics of what we did on Modern Cat's site and the how to!
I hope some of you find some inspiration to sass up your feline related items!!!
Ciao,
Julie

Weekend Time!
This is a fun related post. I might try to make it a regular thing on Fridays. Cute videos or pictures that just make you laugh or smile. If you like the idea, let me know!
I found a great video on You Tube, "Things You CAN'T Do When You're NOT a Dog" This is the funniest thing I have seen in a while. And if you're a dog owner you totally get it although I am sure non dog owners will laugh at this too!
I also found this great little thing called a PortAPoo for when you're walking your dog, would be useful when you're on a long walk and can't find a garbage can! Totally funny but also functional!
I wants!!! Is that not the cutest thing EVER? I can't stop watching!
Hope you all have a great weekend!
