Architecture FAQs

Why didn't you build shelves and tunnels everywhere?

Rather than have cat entertainment built into the human space, cats are given their own spaces to take care of their basic needs.

First, cat lovers are more tolerant of such objects, but these homes need to appeal to everyone.
