It is, however, very inconsiderate of you to not put things on these shelves to be pushed off :D
lol, we do put toys up there, but they get immediately removed
I have to admit I didn't know what cat paths were, and am still unsure, but after seeing cat shelves I'm looking forward to finding out!
Mostly shelves and portals for cats to traverse walls and floors.
Haha that sounds like a lot of fun for the cats! I hope it's fun to build, too. I'm curious what your dogs will think.
The dogs don't really pay attention to them. We put them above their head level, so unless there is a cat on the shelf, they just walk in past. Even then they are not too curious about them, which for us is a good thing. One of our cats (the closer one in that pic) is the biggest scaredy cat, so the shelves and portals have really helped him with being more confident around the new dogs.
You can get some premade pieces to add to this, I have one of these which they use to climb up and as a scratching post, and this bed which acts as a resting point along with my standard shelves. Neither were very expensive.
I dig that scratching post! The bed looks nice too, but I think I could make something like that. We don't want to put anything quite that wide in the hallway though
You definitely could. Theres also these hammocky type beds. They look too small for my cats but don't stick out from the wall very far and if you're DIYing it then you could make them bigger.
We were thinking about doing a hammock in some other spots in the house. One of our cats loves the one on their big scratching post
I love this idea, it's really cute! I like the secret doorway, it's probably good for them to have a secondary escape path.
Yup! We keep the dogs in the bedroom at night, and there is a cat portal in the door as well. That way they have 2 exits. I'll post pics of the stairwell one when we get it done
