If you’re a cat owner, you know it’s not often that humans and their cats have furniture designed for both of them. A kitty might claim a spot as “theirs” on the couch or the bed, or their person will have to pay a lot for cat-centric furnishings that are lacking in design. But luckily, a creative company is changing that.
They’ve designed a piece of furniture called the Gatrimonial bed. At first glance, it looks like a conventional wooden bed frame with a few decorative holes cut into its base. However, once the mattress is removed, the genius of the design is revealed; the interior of the bed frame has an “internal labyrinth” complete with a maze and multiple holes for a cat to enter from one side and exit out the other.

The design is dedicated to creating a calming space for both humans and felines. Designers at CatLife, the Colombian company that carries the bed, explain:
“With our bed, our cat clients don’t feel invaded in their territory, nor do they have to run looking for a safe space to hide. Under this bed, they find a quiet place, full of calm and security, and best of all, it still has the same functionality for the owner! You will continue to rest as you normally would, but now, you provide a unique den to your cat.”
What a great idea!
