That is one of the more horrible places I've seen.  **nononono*

Every room is like an optical illusion.  Good grief...

Same here.  When I first became a cat servant, well meaning friends bought me all kind of cat decorations.  Finally had to tell them all oto stop.  I love my cats, but I don't need all that stuff.    Got to be so much excess clutter. Ick!

Only thing we have specifically for the cats is a large scratching post in the lounge (they last 3 months before they're in shreds - Fleabag has very sharp and large claws) and a laser pointer.

What  strikes me the most about this house is all the wood ruined by paint.  If you decided to strip out all the cat decor you're left with a bunch of fluorescent green and pink painted logs that cannot be stripped and stained.  What's the point of having a log home if you paint everything?   $240K fail.

That was disappointing.  You click on a link expecting one thing and you get something totally different.  :(
Very misleading topic  headline.

That house reminds me of another house when I got my Yorkie when she was three weeks old.  I saw the ad in the paper, Yorkies for sale. $600.  It was about 15 miles from my house so I drove there.  The road went into the country and houses were seen less and less.  I began to think I should have brought someone with me.  I saw men working on a church and stopped there to ask them where this house was as I was now in a secluded area.  They directed me to the house.

I got out of my car and a man came out of the door.  I went there and he asked me if I was afraid of dogs.  I said, "No, if they are Yorkies".  He opened the door and I went in and was immediately surrounded by Yorkies of every size, jumping on my legs.  There were 45 Yorkies living in that house - 45 - and they all were jumping on me.  He took me in the kitchen and I sat on a tall chair to get out of the dogs.

The woman went into a room and brought back this tiny Yorkie.  She handed her to me and she stuck her head down into my crook of my elbow and didn't move.  I thought she was saying, "Get me the hell out of here."  She gave me the papers on the dog, I gave her $600 cash and left.  I had brought a dog carrier and put the dog in that and went directly to a vet near my house.  I made an appointment to take this dog there the next day.  I went home and put this dog in a new small pink dog bed.  She was home.  I named her Prissy since my dad almost named me Priscilla.  My mom said no, people will call her Prissy.  Later, my mom said I was prissy so they should have named me that.

That house was full of dogs everywhere you looked.  The woman told me this little dog would not sleep with the others, that she stayed and slept next to the fireplace.  She was so tiny, no wonder she wanted away from those bigger dogs.  That was a bad place for me to be with all those dogs - I would have wanted to be away from them, too.

This is my dog house story to go along with the pictures of your cat house story.

Great story. 

Where I live, a house like that would have been reported to the authorities and the animals would have been seized.  Many municipalities have limits on how many pets you can have. But I suppose things are different in the country.

I grew up with cats, and my dad always used to get a piece of log for them to scratch on.  They loved those logs...maybe it was the outdoor smell they carried.  They would claw the bark right off.

I'm so glad you got her out of there.  Poor little baby, she was waiting for you to rescue her.

People like that enrage me.
