As a cat woman with 4 cats...this would be my dream tiny home. I love her little catio. For ages I've wanted to make a similar cat box attached to one of my windows, so they could have their own window box to bask in the sun in. I love the idea of the cat door in a plexiglass inset to allow them to go in and out. Plus I love all the cat stairs/catwalks, including the wall mounted bed. Honestly, all her cat themed touches are amazing. I envy her her tiny house, and her cats are beautiful. I have 3 black cats, with one being long hair, and an orange and white tabby. I'd probably want a bigger house than hers. My cats and I currently live in a 500sqft apartment, so they definitely enjoy more space.

[@rowdysgirlalways]

I wanted to go tiny, but a tiny house was not practical for me, so I moved into a 1 bedroom, ground floor apartment with a patio. It's near family and I love it. Your tiny house is one of the best I've seen. I love the adjustments you've made to it. The kitchen shelves are lovely and the baskets are adorable! You've given me some ideas for my bathroom, though I suspect that your bathroom would fit in it at least twice, it's still small. I do have a laundry room off of it, which is delightful. I remember how thrilled my aunt was when her younger brother installed her stackable washer/dryer unit in her front hall closet so she didn't need to go downstairs to do laundry. I feel the same way. Looking at your staircase, I think you might be best served by installing drawers on the stairs themselves, like the two you already have. The house was obviously designed and built by men who have never lived tiny, otherwise you would have storage everywhere. Tiny house guys get it, though. One guy built drop-down cupboards between the joists of his loft floor in the kitchen. Of course, my first thought was I would be permanently concussed from bumping into them when I had them open, but they did look handy. Your bedroom loft is excellent! I love the bookshelf and side table. I love that you built and adapted so much of your home furnishings. Now the catio is simply brilliant! There is no other way to describe it. And the way you fit their litter box in is perfect. However, the cat loft takes the whole design to Spoiled Princesses Level! The catwalks and steps are exceptional! My cats would love all of that. And using the ladder as a scratching post! Well, it reminds me of my 4 ft wooden step ladder that I covered with sisal, added boards to make the paint shelf and top big enough for cats to sprawl on and wrapped them in carpet. It was a lovely cat tower, especially after I added the hammock, which they loved. They could lay in it and watch the birds. It was also a lot cheaper than the cat towers sold in stores. I do believe that the outside of your home is, perhaps, the best part! The deck is beautiful! It makes your home so welcoming and the chairs you built are gorgeous! So comfortable! I think your little table and chairs are really cute too. I love that your shed matches your house. I am also amazed at how organized everything is. I would love to see another tour of your home after you get it finished.

[@justmaria5806]

Kudos to you for taking a Tiny shell and turning it into a very functional and cozy space! What a confidence builder to make the additions and changes as you go.

[@donnabacon4681]

Adorable! Love the matching shed and her tool chest. The catio is ingenius! Thanks for not letting your cats roam freely. Too dangerous! As far as removing the bathroom door, you could always use a tension rod and curtain. It would help, too, with retaining heat in the bathroom after showering. Always open then to air out. Enjoy!!

[@Palmetto-J]

No. Letting cats roam is not dangerous especially in a tiny community where you know everybody. I never lived in a tight knit community though we had many cats when I was growing up. We lived in the heart of the city and our cats were free to come and go as they pleased. If you train them they will never go too far away. Our cats would always stay close enough to hear us call them when it was time to come in. Cats need to have freedom to roam. That is their nature. When you deprive them of their natural proclivities, you make yourself to be a cruel, selfish abuser who should not have the privilege of owning any pets.

[@revekat2053]

@@Palmetto-Jhow do you train them to do that?

[@Palmetto-J]

@revekat2053 We would take them out in the yard with us to play as little as 6 weeks old. When we sat out on our porch every day, they would be out there with us where we can see them. As they got a little older (4 to 5 months), they were free to venture all about our yard and the vacant lot that was next to our house. They never went more than a block away. Everyone on our street knew they belonged to us. They were trained to come when we called out for them. Cats can be trained just like dogs. It's that lazy careless owners don't care to put the effort in to do it.

[@MsKitty-st1yv]

I, too, am very much a Cat lady. If they come, they get fed & always fresh water. Presently, I have "20". People always want kittens so can't find homes for older ones. I spay/neuter all I can catch. Am on fixed SS income, when the vet bills arrive, that is tough for me, buttt. I, too, buy/find cat 'items'. Have about 10 cat cups. Usually find them at Dollar Tree. Kudos to you and your babies.

How much utilities do you need in a tiny home? 😂 The footprint of this tiny home is so small and this is like 2x the cost of a large apartment. Maybe the lot rent is excessive as she doesn’t own the land. That means she’s not paying property tax out of that amount. It still seems quite high if the place is paid off.

[@emmas1082]

@@Originalman144 What she is doing is cheaper than buying land. The costs involved with land: permits, surveying, install sewer or septic, electrical and outlet for the home, land pad, create a driveway, property taxes, insurance, etc., can be very expensive. If she utilized a mortgage or a loan to do that, it would cost more than $550 a month to pay off and she would pay interest each month. For $550 she can socialize with people, utilize the facilities, and not deal with all of the above. Also, maybe it is a good location near everything? The cost to buy land in a good area, near everything, is expensive. Depending on zoning she might not be able to put her tiny home on it, or otherwise get away with just living on the property in camping mode- but if she was able to, it might not be very comfortable.

[@Palmetto-J]

Three cats in a mobile home? 😮 Please tell me that they are free to go outdoors. I'm sure that many cats in a mobile living space would be uncomfortable for cats to confined to 24/7. Cats can be trained, for anyone who don't know, to go roaming but so far from their home. It's inhumane to keep animals locked inside all the time with no access to experience nature. Any pet owner who deprives their pets from enjoying nature is cruel and should have their rights terminated from ever owning animals.

[@brendabown2579]

@@Palmetto-J Please do not judge others without knowing their circumstances. Your comment was very harsh and unnecessary. I'm very aware of how cats can be trained to be indoor/outdoor cats. I live in a rural country area. My home is less than 100 feet from a rural state highway with 55mph traffic rushing by 24/7 that includes everything including cars, large semi trucks, and farm equipment. Wild animals, including deer, racoons, rabbits, etc. die on that highway frequently. Why would I chance losing my beloved cats to such a horrible death? All it would take would be chasing after a rabbit or rodent ... forgetting about the highway ... Behind my home and not very far up a hill, there is timberland where wild animals live, including coyotes, wild fox, and lately even bobcats, which come out hunting for food. My neighbors have lost chickens, geese, small baby farm animals, and even cats to those animals. There are large hawks and eagles that circle the nearby farm hayfields looking for rabbits and rodents and will swoop down and snatch cats. My neighbor lost several outdoor cats that way. My cats have lived indoors since I rescued them as small kittens and they are actually frightened of the outdoor noises when I open the door to go outside. They never attempt to dash outside, which I am thankful for. They are always free to sit in window sills, with windows open, where they love to watch birds, squirrels, and other critters. I spoil them rotten with interactive toys, two enormous cat tree(s), regular health care, the best of healthy cat food, a water fountain, and my mobile home is the largest of the newer manufactured homes where they can run the whole length of the home unempeded, which they love to do, chasing each other and sounding like a herd of elephants. LOL!! My cats live very happy, content lives and I would not have cats if I ever felt I could not offer them the best of everything. So please, do not judge or offer harsh criticisms about people not having the right to have animals when you do not know the circumstances. Thank you.

She got a great tiny house for that price. I love the additions she made to make her and her cats comfortable.

This is one of my favorite tiny homes and tours that I've seen so far! I'm a crazy cat lady, and if I ever were to move into a tiny home I would need to modify it for furry family members as well and you gave me great ideas! I live in a good sized house with 2 other people but haven't found a catio solution that would fit my yard situation til now-I just may have to copy that plexiglass and support set up!

Luv your tiny house and the additions for your kitty cats🐱!!! 😊❤

I’m not even a cat lady but i absolutely love the idea of opening your own cat cafe with your cat mugs! So cute!

How wonderful that she learned how to do a lot of the building herself. And I'm a cat lady, so I will be taking tips for the future when I finally have my first home.

This is beautiful and so functional. When you add cabinets under stairs, it will be purrfect.

Lovely lady, lovely cats, lovely home.

The cats are adorable and I love love love the catio. Having cats is a big concern for me about going tiny down the road and she’s made it work. I wouldn’t love the litter box being in the kitchen. I also love the outdoor screen for movie nights. I agree with another commenter who mentioned they’d enclose the deck/make a screened area to enjoy the outdoors without mosquitoes and the cats could cuddle outside with their human. Just an fyi, the front door swinging out vs in may be a fire hazard/not acceptable to code.

I suspect a "screened" in porch would have tp be the style of the catio. Regular screens are ruined because cats love to crawl on the screen material. Meaning it gets ruined..lol

She could eventually get a robokitty liter box in the cat loft area or just place it outside if she has the porch screened in.

This is one of the nicest tiny houses Ive seen. Very creatively finished and love the cat adaptions...

I have that exact cat mug at the very bottom left corner of the cup rack.
