Love Cats? Love Books? You'll Love This Unique Bookshelf!

This unique furniture has been designed by belgian furniture designer Corentin Dombrecht, as much for cats as it is for human users. It's not only to keep your books and other stuff organized but also to help the cats to walk or run up and down the bookshelf without any damage being done to the books.

The Cat Library was presented at the Stockholm Furniture Fair 2011 and if you're a cat lover, this piece of furniture will attract your attention.

The Cat Friendly Modular Bookshelf

Built-in sitting basket and cat-sized staircase...

Cat Bookshelf

No matter what kind of opinions you have, your cat will always believe that climbing on top of bookshelf is awesome. Cats are complex creatures with needs and independent spirits, and a piece of furniture like the Corentin Dombrecht Cat Library provides them with a realm of their own to repose. This bookshelf also can be a good playground for your cat.

The Cat Library is modular, which allows to fit in any space. Easy to integrate in a variety of modern and even traditional interiors. The bookshelf design has three basic shelf units. In addition, there's a built-in cat basket on the top of the shelves.

According to the designer:
"The modules are formed from birch wood, not painted, not oiled, which after observation seems to seduce cats more. Paint has a tendency to make "the stairs" slippery for cat paws. The shelf exist with two kinds of cat-baskets, one called hi-top (for bigger cats) and another one called lo-top (for smaller cats)."

    That is really cool. If I had room (and a cat) I would totally get one of these. :)
