Cat crazed humans are no stranger to building strange things from scratch (especially from cardboard) for their cats. But the isolation from the pandemic has brought out many different sides of people.

For some of us, it was working out from home, learning new hobbies and baking banana bread; for others, it was gaining 20-30 pounds. Regardless of where you sit on the Covid Productivity Spectrum, you ought to spare a thought for the pets.

Pets, and cats especially, are used to having the house to themselves about 75% of the day. And while that's fairly proportional to the amount of time a cat spends sleeping, cats don't really enjoy their routine being disrupted.

Covid has messed the routines of our cats up in unprecedented ways, now having to deal with their humans being around literally ALL of the time. To make up for this, and to repurpose some of that online shopping packaging that seems to be piling up and up and up... people are making forts for their cats out of cardboard boxes!

Maybe you'll find these cats and their fabulous forts inspire you to create something for your own cats:

Window views...

Fit for a Queen... or two or three. (The more cats, the merrier.)

Multi-level love

Kinda looks like a dinosaur...

Do not enter...

5 storeys...

Sniper Tower... The purr-fect hidey hole for a stinker of a cat!

Even painted...

Love the Eastern vibes...
