Wine Box Turned Cat Condo

 

My cat Dim Sum, shown above, loves to sit on my desk while I'm working. It's way cute, but when she starts to get too comfortable, stretching her legs across my keyboard, it can be a little annoying. When I moved my "office" into a large closet in my studio apartment I decided to take advantage of a small nook in the space to make her her own little space. 

My friend Hillary works at a local wine store and scored some old wine boxes for me. Using Ikea's wooden shelf brackets, I installed the box on the wall near my desk, packed it with blankets, and within minutes she was tucked inside. 

Now, it's guaranteed that if I can't find Dim Sum she's curled up in her box. Problem is, her 16 lbs. brother likes to get in there to -- his photo after the jump...

 

I get a little worried that the anchors I used to keep this attached to the wall won't be able to handle Gizmo's chubby butt...

What a great idea! Cats love boxes...cats love climbing...and cats love sitting next to my desk while I work. Genius!

Just like my kids.
They always like the box better than what came in it.
