More Cat Ladders!
Karen Nichols

In response to our popular post on Cat Ladders around the World, Catster Rani and her family sent photos of a couple of cat ladders where they used to live. Here’s a description of the setup:

Our former home in the desert had stables, which we insulated. We poured concrete in one, the “dining hall”, and in the other, we installed “boat-deck” outdoor carpeting. We built elevated sleeping quarters which affixed to the walls, and to access these, we built little ramp ladders, which you can see in the photos. We’d rescued “community cats” in our PREVIOUS neighborhood, and were able to have our in-house clowder plus our “stables crew,” who enjoyed the two stables plus a cat-fenced outdoor compound. Indoors and outdoors were climate-controlled, with a portable swamp cooler, an oil heater, and a mister for the yard.

And here are the ladders, which lead to the elevated sleeping quarters. How cool is that??

    Ah, just like our house, no matter how many wonderful beds, the cat scratcher is still the fav place to sleep!
