Operation Catification: Cat Shelves, Coming Right Up!
Since moving into our first home a few months back, my list of “catification” projects has only continued to grow. I’ve always had ideas about how I wanted to catify our home, and I’m so excited to be able to finally start on them! Slowly but surely, our house will be the coolest cat house in town!
As you may have seen on our Wordless Wednesday post a couple of days ago, we have put up some cat shelves. We’ve been saving up for these for a while and finally made the big purchase just a few days before Christmas. I didn’t expect the shelves to arrive by Christmas, as the email I received after placing the order said that it could take up to three weeks for the order to be filled. I was pleasantly surprised to find them on my doorstep on Christmas Eve. Needless to say, they went up on the wall immediately.
All it took was a little stud finding, measuring, and drilling…

And voila!
It really was that easy.
We had to show the kitties that the shelves were meant to be climbed on by enticing them with treats…
But it didn’t take long before they were enjoying the shelves and just hanging out on them.

As you can see, the cat shelves are quite the hit. The really neat thing about them too is that we can add to our configuration, little by little, with all kinds of different things – hammocks, beds, bridges, more shelves, sisal posts, and more! This is only the beginning…
For anyone wondering, these shelves were ordered from Catastrophic Creations. We were not compensated in any way by posting about these shelves. We just really love them and wanted to tell you about our first Catification Project!
Wow! Your kitties decided it was fun to be on them almost right away! They knew!!
What is wrong with the humans at my house?! I can’t even imagine them doing something so cool!
I have wondered if Callie would like something like this, but she doesn’t seem to care for getting in high places. My last cat would frequently sit on top of the fridge, however. How does Sophie do with these?
We’ve got a couple of fridge climbers too! Unfortunately, Sophie can’t enjoy the shelves 🙁 She can’t get onto them, as she can’t really jump. It would be very dangerous for her to be on them anyway, because her balance is poor she could possibly just fall off and isn’t able to catch herself or land on her feet.
that is some impressive wall art 🙂
very cool…..
I wish my Dad could do that. Anything he hangs on the walls falls down.
It’s great that you are finally able to put your catification plans in action. We have a couple of high shelves and mom plans to add more. I say, catification is never done!
That’s pawsome. Sadly, Mom says we rent, so we can’t do this stuff. But she does have an idea this weekend about some ramps….
the photos of the kitties enjoying them just crack me up! LOVE what you have done (and reading about what you are going to be doing!) You are blessed to have a handy husband….I would be screwed lol

WOW…..what GREAT catification ideas and obviously your efforts are TOTALLY appreciated and enjoyed….what fun. Lucky you – Mom knows I’m too old to leap and jump but what fun I would have had in my younger years with THAT arrangements! WOO HOO!
Hugs, Sammy
Oh my goodness, I LOVE your wall shelves! They are put so beautifully and looks like your kitties are enjoying them a lot! We have a shelf with stretch fabric from the same company. It’s sturdy and well made 🙂
We are working on adding new shelves now, too. I look forward to reading more about your catification projects!
How cool ! We love your shelves ! Maybe Sophie could enjoy a low shelf with a ramp to help her ? Purrs
This is a company I hadn’t heard about before. I have bookmarked their website as the prices seem really reasonable. I can’t wait to see what additions you make as time goes on. Everybody certainly has taken to them quickly. Sending love and hugs to call. Astrid sends Sampy a kiss for every shelf in existence and lots of love. Hugs, Janet
Those are super and it looks like they are a big hit!
Those are great! I am glad the cats are enjoying them.
