Your box fort has nothing on these fancy cardboard cat houses

We’re only sorry they don’t come in adult sizes.

The cardboard box is a perplexing feat of wonder to cats. You could easily keep your fur baby entertained for hours with that  collection of Amazon boxes growing in the corner of your kitchen. But, there are more visually pleasing alternatives that will delight both you and your pet.

The makers at Cacao Furniture converts cardboard into simple, yet stylish creations that keep your cat entertained without looking like you just moved in. The cardboard boxes are shaped like characters, objects, or geometrical shapes that will fit with your aesthetic.

The idea came from two friends (“and a cat”) who wanted to find a way to use cardboard as constructive material, rather than garbage. The houses are made of extra-strength corrugated cardboard that can withstand your cat’s playful paws and claws.

Cacao Furniture uses strictly eco-friendly material that is safe for cats. The houses are glue-free, so you can easily disassemble when you need the extra space at home, and reassemble later. Though good luck getting your cat out of there.
