cat house


When it comes to modern pet product designs, dogs always seem to have a leg up. Now, cool cats can chill in the Canadian Cabin for Fluffy Little Critters, an eco-conscious, flat-pack cardboard cat house by Montreal industrial designers Marie-Pier Guilman and Maud Beauchamp.

Inspired by their cats, Felix and Lolotte, who love cardboard boxes, Guilman and Beauchamp wanted to improve upon the usual scratching posts and carpeted kitty condos.

"We thought it was time to do something funny for cats that we'd be proud to show in our own homes," Guilman says, adding that the design also is appropriate for rabbits, ferrets and small dogs.


The Canadian Cabin is $30 at Plastica in Los Angeles. Replacement carpets are three for $5. For videos and a photo gallery of satisfied cat customers, visit Guilman and Beauchamp's ridiculously adorable Loyal Luxe website.
