Kitty in the Clouds

It’s been a long time since my cats have had the opportunity to get up high enough to survey their domain. In old apartments and past houses they were able to get up onto cabinets or closet shelves, or in the case of Sage, right up onto the door itself (I need to dig up those pictures).

We’ve considered getting a cat tree that they can hang out in, but we can never seem to find just the right place where one would go, so we put it off.

Today I came across these “cat clouds,” wall-mounted shelves made especially for cats who like to lounge. The shelves are pretty big at 20 inches by 10 inches and have a foam pad with a removable faux sheepskin over it. They’ll support 70 pounds of weight and are held in place with four heavy duty wall anchors.

The powdered coated shelves come in three colors — off-white, white and black. I especially like that they take up no floor space!
