It is often said that a man’s (or woman’s) home is his (or her) castle, so shouldn’t it fall to suit that a cat should also have a place to call their very own? Certainly you can find plenty of cat castles to put together, but honestly, wouldn’t your cat castle show up in a cardboard box all its own? So instead of getting a box your cat may prefer to sit in as opposed to the expensive cat castle you just bought, consider making your own.

Here are some interesting stories and cardboard cat castles to check out from others who have made their own creations.

Billy Browne created a castle for his cat, Rufus, and explained why with the following:
“A present for my cat ‘Rufus’. He began to resent me due to painful ear drops to fix an infection. I would return from work and he would run from me! Now the ears are better I wanted to do something to show my gratitude for his putting up with my torture. Rufus loves boxes as all cats do so this is what I made for him.”
In an article on EscapeAdulthood, maker Mindy Holahan shared her experience as to why she was inspired to create her cat castle (pictured below). While it became a cathartic experience, she did share that her cats eventually played in the castle, once the paint smell had dissipated.
