Man Transformed His House Into Cat Heaven For His 24 Rescued Feline Friends
Peter Cohen designed his house entirely to meet his cats' needs and ensure their comfortable lives. It all started in 1988 when he bought a house in Santa Barbara, California, and cared for two beautiful outdoor feline friends.
Unfortunately, they both ended up being hit by a car. That tragedy affected him deeply, but it also motivated him to create a safe and comfortable place for cats.
He thought that if cats have everything they need indoors, they will not have to go outside. This means that cats will be as safe as possible, without the risk of unpredictable tragedies.
His love for cats led him to the most amazing idea ever. He began making plans to create interesting rooms for cats, a playground specially adapted for them, toys that would keep them entertained, and more.
He researched the best methods for building this magnificent project and started constructing a cat house step by step. He figured out that the main task was to build catwalks, so he did.
First, he built walkways on the walls; then he added various remarkable caves, tunnels, perches, ramps, portholes, and everything imaginable for cats to play, explore limitlessly, and, of course, take comfortable naps. He really thought of everything a cat could ever need.
He completely transformed his home into a cat's dream house. As his project progressed, he adopted more cats. Now, he is the founder of ZenByCat and a proud owner of more than 20 feline companions enjoying this fairytale house made exclusively for them. Let's take a look at his outstanding project.
