17 cardboard cat house picks (for your kitty to call home sweet home)
We know your feline friend already has a roof over their head—but do they have a cardboard cat house? It may seem delightfully unrefined for your precious puss, but a cardboard cat house is the paw-fect paper palace for your furry feline to call home—well, home number two.
With styles to match any decor and every season, pet parents can choose their favorite design—even if fur babies are unlikely to appreciate the aesthetic sentiment. A great cardboard cat house includes a cozy nook for cat naps, built-in scratch pads to satisfy natural clawing instincts, and peek-a-boo windows so your kitty can monitor household activity (humans, however, remain strictly uninvited). These houses are easy to assemble—especially with enthusiastic “help” from your feline assistant—and lightweight enough to move around as your cat’s purr-ferred spot shifts: under your desk, beside the cat tree, or even atop a cupboard. While they won’t last forever, most are fully recyclable once they’ve been lovingly “redecorated” by enthusiastic scratching and kneading.
