Cat trees aren’t about style, they’re about caring for your animal and it’s needs properly. Having animals sometimes means your home won’t look 100% aesthetically pleasing. I have a giant ugly crate in my room for my 150lb Irish wolfhound and there’s no way to avoid it 😭

Yepp, that's a step away from going "ew, you have a chair lift on your stairs, how *could* you?! That totally destroys the aesthetic." There's design and there's living your actual life in your actual home and some things are a bit harder to compromise on than others.

[@eross21363]

Paige, no one was wrongfully criticizing you for not liking cat trees. I’m in full agreement about cat trees not looking nice aesthetically and there’s certainly an untapped market when it comes to tasteful pet furniture design. Most of the critique in that comment thread was about how it’s impractical to forgo basic necessities for your cat/pets and or kid in the name of design. It kind of comes across as vain and overtly materialistic. There’s a fine line between designing a space that will spark joy but also doing so at the expense of those you are responsible for and care for.

Yeah, some of those cat trees are a bit excessive. I got a tall cat tree but made sure it wasn't wide. It was tucked away in a corner and not really very noticeable. I don't think a cat tree would work in a laundry room. People have cat trees because cats are always wanting to be perched up high to have a commanding view of the space, and they like to be in the same room with their people, generally. Otherwise, they will be lying on the backs of furniture, or on tables if there's room. They don't pee on the furniture (except in situations where a person might also pee, or vomit), but they do shed. So, what is a dog person supposed to do with their dog's bed, especially a large one? Put it in the laundry room? What if there isn't a laundry room in their home anyway? Or is it okay to let the dog sit on the sofa, the armchairs, the bed...? I love your channel, and this isn't the only one of the few things I disagree with you about.

Putting a cat tree in a laundry room is just plain dumb.... the cats want to be where the humans are! Also they have sensitive hearing and will not want to be around a washing machine when it's on.

Please get a cat tree for your cats and don't put it in a laundry room. Jesus.

[@angelheartshp]

Sometimes you need to be practical. I have cats and you can’t just hide the litter box or a cat tree because cats will act out and ruin the nice things you DO have. Same goes for velvet - it’s true some velvet out there is very cheap, but I’ve found vintage velvet/corduroy fabrics or even more distressed velvets (like the one offered at pottery barn) to be very nice and not look like velvet. Best of all, my cats don’t scratch it, even though they’ve ruined all my other couches. Ours pets live in the home and it’s our job to take care of them and give them stimulation, first and foremost! Design second.

Cats like to perch and be up high in trees looking over their kingdom; hence indoor cats trees, preferably near a window. Putting one in a laundry room is different from the purpose of having one.

For many people, "ugly cat furniture" this is their only option if handy skills are also limited and building one is not an option. Thrifting is also not an option becuase cats are very sensitive to other animals/homes scents.
