Cat Houses Welcome to Cat-House.us, we build one-of-a-kind homes for furry feline friends.  Fully enclosed kitty retreats that include a kitchen for eating, an automated bathroom and a bedroom with an optional heated bed.  Some people might classify this as "cat furniture", but it is more like a combination cat tree or gym, kitty condo, scratching post and full-blown custom designed cat's house! I guess you  could say that we're contractors for cats. Our cat houses are purr-fect for your furry friends. Custom Kitty Casa Cat owners are unique.  We know this to be true because we own three "unique" kitties.  Nearly everyone forms a special bond with their cats.  To most of us, they are more than just pets - they are special friends who share our lives.  Cats have extraordinary personalities and individual quirks and foibles that make each one incomparable.  That is why we custom build special "Kitty Casas" one home at a time.  You will not find our cat houses in a department store.  We take great pride in creating the purr-fect home for every cat, one-at-a-time.  To begin the design process and get a custom quote for your feline's new home, start here. Got a chilly kitty? Do you have an outside cat?  Do you live in a cool climate?  We built a simple cat house for our shop cat.  We needed a way to protect our outdoor cat from the brutal Montana winters without heating 900 square feet of un-insulated workshop.  We wanted something that would provide warmth and protection and meet some basic needs like a place to perch, scratch and get a little exercise.  Here is a step-by-step plan to construct a functional and cozy cat house for your outside cat. BTW, be sure to visit our other cat site, Puff and Pooh's domain.  It chronicles the lives of two very special kittens who were rescued from the SPCA, and their journey through life, and across the United States. And meet our other furry friend, Miss Minnie, guardian of the woodshop. Watch a great funny movie of a cat massaging a dog - priceless!
