This Southern California home, for instance, evolved into an elaborate indoor playground after the homeowner started rescuing cats. The house is decked out in perches, tunnels and platforms for its feline residents to explore. On the floor below, robot vacuums act as an automated fur cleanup crew.
But your home doesn’t have to become a designated animal funhouse to draw creative energy from your cat or dog or hamster. Hank, the miniature potbellied pig shown here, has a special pen in the kitchen of his New Orleans home stocked with blankets, water and toys — it’s where he hangs out when his family isn’t home.
Even something straightforward like a built-in play space for your pet adds customized personality and practical polish to a home, and we’re eager to hear about it.
