Creative Cardboard Hangouts For Your Cat
May 13, 2018
If you’re looking for something fun for your cat to climb, scratch, and explore, then consider cardboard furniture. These trendy designer cardboard creations for cats are the hottest thing for active kitties.
We all know how much cats love an empty cardboard box. They can’t resist them. So it makes sense to design some kitty hangouts made of cardboard that cater to their climbing, scratching, and adventurous natures.
Landmark Playhouses from Poopy Cat
We have three designs made of cardboard that your kitty will flip over. First up is a line of cardboard landmark buildings designed by a Dutch company called, Poopy Cat. Known for their disposable, cardboard kitty litter boxes, Poopy Cat designed a range of cat playhouses modeled on famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower (complete with elevator!), the Mayan ruins, the Taj Mahal, the Kremlin, the Sphinx, a Pagoda, and the White House.
These fun, cardboard play houses will make your cat feel like a world traveller, while you get to enjoy seeing your cat having a fun, chilled-out place to curl up and sleep for a while. Even small dogs and other small pets can enjoy them. Poopy Cat says these landmark playhouses are made of strong, double layered, eco-friendly cardboard for durability, and will help cats reduce stress. Check it out:
Room Collection from A Cat Thing
Next is a more modular looking playhouse called Room Collection from A Cat Thing. Consisting of four different angular boxes, you can pick and choose your style and size of structure to suit your living space. They simply lock together using an origami technique and can be easily re-assembled to keep your cats curious. Check it out:
Modular Cat Tree from Katris
Another cardboard product that’s strong enough to hold an adult human, gives you the flexibility to design your own Katris structure. Designed by a group of paper artists, Katris is a collection of modular pieces you can fit together like a puzzle. You can build them really tall so your cat can climb, sit, perch, and rest, or create more of a staircase shape to give your indoor cat a good workout. The best part about Katris is the modern design makes them look like they’re part of the furniture. They also double as a scratching post for your cat. Katris call it the “ever-changing playground” for your cat. Check it out:
If your pocketbook doesn’t support investing in these designer cat playhouses, try making your own cardboard kitty furniture. All you need is a few cardboard boxes, some duct tape, and a little imagination. It could make for a fun craft project to do one afternoon with the kids.
