Minimal Kitty DIY Cat Play House

I have an aversion to most cat furniture. Just because I love little Luna lou doesn't mean that I'm willing to put up with an unsightly cat tree or scratching post in my living space. Check out this awesome minimal cat play house diy from Lowes. It's simple, modern and looks super easy to make. Click through for the video how-to.

The Ikea PS Gullhomen Rocking Chair and Alseda banana fibre stool were Luna's predecessor's favourite scratching post slash kitty beds. The Gullhomen chair acts as a stretching scratch post, a bed to sit on and a kitty cave due to the hole in the back as illustrated here:

Minimal! Natural! Pretty!

Luna never loved it, so they have long since been off to the Craigslist fairies.

Lou's one and only scratchy-love is the SmartCat Bootsie's Combination Scratcher*. It's tough enough to handle her aggressive affections!

Cat Hats

These crocheted kitty cat hats from xmoonbloom are so cute, I had to post them all. I would have such a hard time deciding which to buy. I think the monster is my favourite. Or the classic bear. Or the fantastical unicorn. They also sell the crochet patterns if you are craftily inclined so you can make them yourself. Adorable!

Catnip Mouse Tutorial

This adorable catnip mouse has its very own tutorial over at design*sponge. Some good friends of ours gave us a huge bag of home grown catnip at Christmas and this looks like a great way to use it before Luna munches her way through it all. I thought kittens weren't supposed to be affected by catnip but at two and a half months she already loved the stuff. Maybe she's just mature for her age, though that seems highly unlikely.
