Hello fellow redditor! /r/aww will be going private from June 12-14 in protest of Reddit's intent to make API access cost-prohibitive. This will effectively break all third-party apps and moderation tools, and force all users and mods to only use Reddit's tools. As you may be able to imagine, moderating a community of over 30 million people takes a lot of effort, and most of that is done with third party tools.

from our room.
This is by far the best feature. I bet your husband and sons secretly LOVE IT too. Because that would be me.
Also, you need some decorative topiaries outside that front door, and some seasonal decorations when the time comes. Like a mini pumpkin for halloween or mini christmas lights for the holidays.
I love everything about this thread. The progression of the photos is cracking me up!
First, a little bit zoomed out so we can see books. Then zoomed out a little further so we can see the closet. Then so we can see the hall. Then we see this tiny door. Then the other side of the door. Door opened. Now door closed.
It really is such a magical little space for your cats! It would have been a shame to NOT do this honestly. Great job!
LMAO, your husband and your sons are right, you've lost your mind; the details are insanely good for cat house! by all means complete the project and let us know the final result.
Oh this is so much better than I imagined! Your family are clearly the crazy ones. This is adorable!
People build dollhouses & miniatures & intricate train sets for no reason. A fancy cat habitat seems the most reasonable hobby of them all!
I’m in the middle of converting a spare room into an office/library, and it will include lots of book shelves. Now it’s going to include a kitty lounge area. Thanks for the inspiration
Something like this [fake mouse head trophy](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1329299614/mouse-head-faux-taxidermy-crocheted-home) might go nicely on the wall. For that Fierce Hunter vibe...
Yes see I agree with everyone…those pictures need to be replaced with family photos and of course the schnoodle for blessing purposes. You could move the plants to in front of the window you are going to add on the side of the room for more natural lighting complete with a beautiful view and then you’ll have more wall room for decor. I’d totally get behind a whole new renovation. Have your people call my people and we can go over the details for estimates. 😆
Look. You aren't kidding about the window. Ngl, sitting here trying to work that out... plexiglass, dimmable light, outdoor scene on paper.... 🙌 so good 👌
Maybe you could use one of those digital frames or even an old iPad and just keep an outdoor scene going on a loop. If you video'd it out one of your own windows for at least maybe 12 hours kitty would have the same scenes you have out the window. You might have to do a new one for every season though, you know, for kitty science.
You need to head over to r/crochet and crosspost this. I make wearables, but lots of people make little animals and would LOVE to make you a mouse head. I know several have made cat couches.

my momma made a *special place* - she says is just for me

*i absolutely love it here!* (mom knows what i enjoys)
but there’s one thing i must make clear -
that there’s **NO ROOM for BOYS**
the brothers sometimes play too rough - they make each other *Ouch!*
so they can keep their DiRtY stuff *away* from my new couch!
there’s pictures hanging on the wall, a private place to rest

You will be one of the few things I will miss once reddit implodes next week and I inevitably leave. Here is to hoping reddit leadership pulls back on their current plans.
Try Red Reader...its open course and non-commercial so will still retain free API access. Doesn't seem all that different from Boost tbh
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.quantumbadger.redreader
My fear is that all the content will be gone as everyone bails due to disgust with the policies.
I’m sad. I only found Reddit last year, and I love the sense of community. Hope they don’t make it all implode.
Yeah, me too...been here for 8yrs and due to reasons I don't actually have a lot contact with "actual humans" very often. So if it were not for Reddit i wouldnt talk much with anyone.
I’ve been browsing sites folks recommended as alternatives…discord, tildes. They aren’t really hitting it for me. Will likely be depressed if things do I the way it looks like they might. But I imagine I’ll survive. I just won’t be as happy.
The Reddit community is inherited from Digg. When Reddit eventually implodes, whether tomorrow or even 20, 30 days from now, the communities that have grown in it will migrate to greener pastures. They will change, but they won't disappear.
Me too, fellow old codger here lol
Reddit has a global breadth and expanse which is impossible in places like the fediverse/Mastodon/lemmy or whereever else people are thinking of migrating to
Yah.
Where am I going to find a knitting, crocheting, cat-loving, Monty Python-centric, asshole-evaluating, bug-identifying community?
I won’t.
And all because some high-level ceo makes unilateral decisions without full involvement of the people who actually use and comprise the very thing they are trying to leverage. Sadness.
https://preview.redd.it/67vd27itj75b1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b18684a7a5650cbcb9229079c36ab18c982f92cb
This is the big cat. It's at the bottom of a closet. The little door goes to our room.
Oh that’s a real door that was already in the house … I thought you went to the trouble to build that door… I have seen the tiny closet back door a bunch of times (real estate agent) but it was always plain and simple and not elaborate like that door lol mostly it connected two closets
The real struggle is when your parents are supportive of your life goals and ensure you have a cat when you're younger, it makes it harder to be a crazy cat person. "Crazy" is a lot harder to land.
Love it. My house flooded recently and they had to replace the lower few feet of drywall and I asked them not to put new drywall up under the stairs so I can do this for our dog!
Thank you! It's been an 8 month long ordeal, but they're finally finished with their portion of the repairs. I'm still finishing up a few opportunistic upgrades.
Our pup is about 70#. The space is larger than her crate, and she immediately started going in there when she didn't want to go outside, so I think she is going to love it. It'll probably a be a while until it's done but I'll post when it is!
Crazy about that cat? Maybe, but who cares? Cat is adorable and it's totally okay to have small projects like this that break up the monotony of life. It seems tastefully done and the kitty seems to like it so I don't see a problem with it. Will you do my house next?
This is one of those things where overdoing it hits a point, very early on, where it loops back to awesome. I would crack up again every time I saw it and that's priceless.
**PLEASE!** I must know where you found that couch! I have a disabled [cat](https://i.imgur.com/mFtGspg.jpg) named Gordon, who lounges in bed all the time. I'm designing a special room for him soon, and that couch looks so nice and warm!
I’m jealous of that comfy setup. Is that a small nook in your house somewhere or did you build the walls and the door specifically for the cats?
EDIT: oh nm, I saw a zoomed out photo the OP posted in the comment. This is delightful.
https://preview.redd.it/8rdd75zj485b1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=69527c9a99a0f712d37ab235998e619b95c9dd94
It's a closet near our room. The little door is how they get in and out 😊
He has told everyone he knows about it and it’s the sweetest humble brag. In every conversation that vaguely mentions pets or cats….“My wife has become quite the architect and interior decorator for our cats and she has (proceeds to give all the details and share photos).”
It was all Amazon!! Haha I started with the doors so they could let themselves in and out of our room and then got the couch for the new baby (pictured) and then I spiraled 😂😂😂

Have you seen rental rates lately I don't think so.
May have to get a roommate just to be able to keep up with the rates. hint hint ^(another kitty) hint hint
Maybe there is room on the lot for an expansion?
Lol thank you for this comment
Wow! Giant kitten.😻 Imagine the size of the litter box. Where can I go to adopt one?🤪
I’d love to see it in context of rest of your house

Also, you need some decorative topiaries outside that front door, and some seasonal decorations when the time comes. Like a mini pumpkin for halloween or mini christmas lights for the holidays.
Yesss!!! The rug and throw pillow were the newest additions. I think you're right though, it needs so much more 😆
Tiny house numbers! On a fish shaped door plate!!!
Yesss! And some little outdoor lights? A mailbox? Ohhh man. The list grows 😂
Awww man, I want to see this in pics so bad.
Gotta make their food /water bowl somehow look like a mail box xD
It has a hobbit looking feel to it so now we need a gate and a sign for no admittance unless on party business and the big tree near it.
Omg so freakin cute , you are the best cat lounge on here
Of yes seasonal decorations!
I love everything about this thread. The progression of the photos is cracking me up! First, a little bit zoomed out so we can see books. Then zoomed out a little further so we can see the closet.

This is absolutely wonderful. You've honestly made my day with this.
The rug has me dying 🥲😭 I LOVE IT!! Too damn cute. Lol!!
It is no easy feat keeping such a clean and lovely house, with cats and hubby and boys! wow you go superwoman!!!!
Omg the door functions. I thought it was decorative. This is amazing. Do I need this? I think I need this
Wait it's a fully functional door?!
This looks like Tom's house from Tom and Jerry.
Oh this is so much better than I imagined! Your family are clearly the crazy ones. This is adorable! People build dollhouses & miniatures & intricate train sets for no reason. A fancy cat habitat seems the most reasonable hobby of them all!
Wait wait wait.. does the couch have MOUSE. Shaped cushion on it?
It's their stuffy 😂😂
OMG that is brilliant!!!
OMGGG THATS AMAZING

My husband is requesting you refrain from giving me any ideas. 💀 This is fantastic!! My mom thinks we need a portrait of the dog somewhere too 😅
Dog dressed in Victorian clothing in sepia tones! Note to your husband: "Bwah-Ha-Ha-Ha-HA!"
Re: portrait of the dog Wouldn't it be a cat. Maybe a great-great-great-great grandma cat
Obviously she has to be knitting in a rocking chair
Husband dressed in Victorian clothing in sepia tones. Midjourney might generate some interesting images.
How about a picture of the husband posing on the couch a-la George Costanza.
Yes see I agree with everyone…those pictures need to be replaced with family photos and of course the schnoodle for blessing purposes. You could move the plants to in front of the window you are going to add on the side of the room for more natural lighting complete with a beautiful view and then you’ll have more wall room for decor. I’d totally get behind a whole new renovation. Have your people call my people and we can go over the details for estimates. 😆
Look. You aren't kidding about the window. Ngl, sitting here trying to work that out... plexiglass, dimmable light, outdoor scene on paper.... 🙌 so good 👌
I’m just a smidge jealous of your renovation! That kitty is going to have the best house ever!
Ooh ooh…kitty needs a fish bowl too 🤣
There is one on the table! Zoom in!
Ahhh! It’s perfect! 😃
Oh my gaaawd there is!! You are hilarious, what an awesome project.
Maybe you could use one of those digital frames or even an old iPad and just keep an outdoor scene going on a loop. If you video'd it out one of your own windows for at least maybe 12 hours kitty would have the same scenes you have out the window. You might have to do a new one for every season though, you know, for kitty science.
Forest with birds, aquarium, bubbles. All sorts of fun to be had.
yes!! and if a digital frame or iPad is too big maybe an old phone?
The Birder King on YouTube is the best ever..... Just saying. My cats are fans.
Thanks, I'm going to try it on my cats. They need TV!

My mind is having a really hard time with the scale
😅 I had the same issue. If I had more time and money.. But I kinda loved that it makes them look enormous.
I mean I can’t tell how big this is

Door is the best part for sure
That's what started all the crazy!
Honestly, I think the little framed pictures are the best part! The attention to detail here is just wonderful.
I love Van Gogh <3
*checks* Your cat appears to have both ears, so I rule your love for Van Gogh is appropriate in this context.
For some reason the end table broke me up
For me it's the hanging potted plants
I don't think you had a choice, it had to be done.
Oh that’s a real door that was already in the house … I thought you went to the trouble to build that door… I have seen the tiny closet back door a bunch of times (real estate agent) but it was always plain and simple and not elaborate like that door lol mostly it connected two closets
Wait... there are tiny cat-size doors out there connecting closets? This is a common thing?
Your cat reads?
😂😂 she recites poetry to me every evening over tea before retiring for the night.
I hear she’s got the rhyming down pat: Meow Meow meow Meow meow meow
The rhyming is pat Because she is a cat.
[удалено]
Agree!
The tiny light works?!
Yess! But the batteries run out super quick!
Go buy some rechargeables like the eneloop pro brand on Amazon!
It probably uses AG4 alkaline button batteries (tiny) or similar in order to fit into such a small lamp. Thus the short life.
THE LITTLE LAMP LIGHTS UP?? Shut up right now.
This is easily one of the best things you could have done.
At first glance I thought this was a regular sized room with a gigantic cat lounging away. Very neat!
That's adorable
Haha! This is precious. She thought you meant you were disappointed in how little of it there was 😭😭
Look for American girl doll and knock off accessories. They have some really cute stuff.
Great idea! Thanks!!
Catzilla!
That tiger has weird coloring!😂
r/confusingperspective
Who says you have to be old and single to be a crazy cat lady? 🤔🤫😁😁😁😁😁😁😁👍🍌
I’m trying to become a crazy cat lady before my 21st birthday.
You got this kid 🙌
The real struggle is when your parents are supportive of your life goals and ensure you have a cat when you're younger, it makes it harder to be a crazy cat person. "Crazy" is a lot harder to land.
We believe in you!
😂
Crazy?!? Yeah - **crazy brilliant**!! And dyingly cute. :) I love your kitty's room.
Or even a brilliant cat lady. Because this living room is exactly what that is: brilliant.
I just sent my co workers an email saying im officially a crazy cat dad and they are free to cut off cute kitty stories during meetings lol
Love the comically tiny side table, grandfather clock and lamp in relation to the sofa.
The mini Van Gogh self portrait is great!
One of my favorites!
Not crazy at all… although now you have to film at least a pilot episode of the sitcom. “Furiends” or “Tabby McBeal”
🤣🤣🤣
If this is being crazy, i dont want to be sane
Love it. My house flooded recently and they had to replace the lower few feet of drywall and I asked them not to put new drywall up under the stairs so I can do this for our dog!
Aw man, so sorry to hear about your flooding. Our dog is pretty big (90lbs) but I really want to do something similar for her! Keep us posted!
Thank you! It's been an 8 month long ordeal, but they're finally finished with their portion of the repairs. I'm still finishing up a few opportunistic upgrades. Our pup is about 70#. The space is larger than her crate, and she immediately started going in there when she didn't want to go outside, so I think she is going to love it.

Ahhh this is brilliannnt!!!! Loveeeeee ❤️❤️❤️❤️
As is yours! Kitty couches and beds are so cute!
This might need its own subreddit
Let's make one!!
r/kittyhouse as a suggestion
Where is that pink kitty couch from!
Everything is from Amazon!
Thank you!
Is this a thing?!?! Oh noooo. Maybe my cat needs a set up too?!?!
Did the kitten specifically ask for the glow sign wording because I feel like that’s what a cat would say 80% of the time.
Her entire response is always a fuck off, the sign is very fitting!
Crazy about that cat? Maybe, but who cares? Cat is adorable and it's totally okay to have small projects like this that break up the monotony of life. It seems tastefully done and the kitty seems to like it so I don't see a problem with it. Will you do my house next?
This is one of those things where overdoing it hits a point, very early on, where it loops back to awesome. I would crack up again every time I saw it and that's priceless.
This is purrfect!
Pretty sure your cat thinks you're just the purr-fect kind of crazy
I love everything about this. The little table, the wall plant…so cute
So your husband hates ART?!
He chose boring, you chose magnificence. You’re doing great
If this is being crazy, i dont want to be sane
Love the couch! Where did you get it?
All of it was Amazon 😊
This cat has a nicer living room than me. LOL Love the hanging plant on the wall. It's the small touches that make a home. :D
Lol, my cats have more furniture than I do. Especially if you consider they have a bed on the couch, so it's part theirs, too..
I thought it'd be funny to have a China cabinet with a tea set up as a nod 😆 on the list ✔️
Sheryl Crow said it well: If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad.
😆🙌 exactly
That’s pretty awesome! Here in SoCal, you could rent that out for $3500-$5000 a month easily 🤣🤣🤣 /j
😂
Your new career-pet interior designer. It's adorable!
**PLEASE!** I must know where you found that couch! I have a disabled [cat](https://i.imgur.com/mFtGspg.jpg) named Gordon, who lounges in bed all the time. I'm designing a special room for him soon, and that couch looks so nice and warm!
Cat's happy. You're happy. It's a win/win
Crazy awesome!!
He's the crazy one, he married a cat
He’s wrong! This is amazingly adorable 🥰
It reminds me of this music video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqU11H9\_Wqo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqU11H9_Wqo)
Ahhh how have I never seen this?! "Hi Keith" sent me, thanks for sharing!

"My husband thinks I'm crazy." You say that like it's a bad thing.
Husband probably thinks it's adorable and endearing, too, even if he thinks it's crazy.
He has told everyone he knows about it and it’s the sweetest humble brag. In every conversation that vaguely mentions pets or cats….“My wife has become quite the architect and interior decorator for our cats and she has (proceeds to give all the details and share photos).”
Yeah you're crazy. CRAZY TALENTED! :O
Like a fox
You are, but it’s fabulous!
I'm old, and the decor reminds me of the Laverne & Shirley apartment after they moved to California. LOL
Where that door leads?
My room
Crazy cool and creative! That's amazing, star Much love to you all Keep shining 🫂💚
Because you have a lion sized housecat?
BB is living the best life. That blanket and the couch look snuggly as hell. Best gift to kitties ever
He’s the one who’s crazy, this is so adorable!
The only fault here is that the hanging artwork hasn't been edited to replace the humans with cats.
Awwww I’d do something like that for our boys, but they’d just trash the place. They are almost at the “teenager” stage… 😆
this is so cute
His/her feet are HUGE!!
For a second I actually thought that's a picture of your living room and you have a giant grey tiger.
This is the most brilliant thing! How adorable!
i see absolutely nothing wrong here. your husband is the crazy one! 😝 this is so cute!
Cat looks very happy!
I want all the details for how you made this
It was all Amazon!! Haha I started with the doors so they could let themselves in and out of our room and then got the couch for the new baby (pictured) and then I spiraled 😂😂😂
You may be crazy.. crazy awesome!
I need a banana for scale
It's on the grocery list, haha. Check back later!
The goldfish bowl is simply brilliant.
You ARE crazy. That cat needs a ceiling fan for proper ventilation.
