Does anyone else have a special room thats just for cats?

A friend of my mom used to have a dozen cats or so, and in her new home, she designated a room just for them. It had wall to wall cat trees, an aquarium, a fountain they could drink from and a HUGE toy box full of catnip toys.

Never a dull moment in there! Back then, I thought it was nuts that anyone would have a room just for their cats -- now I want one too

We have a spare bedroom that we just use the closets in. It's also used as a guest bedroom during the rare occasion that someone visits. Otherwise, it's Henry's room. He has to have his own room because (a) he has to be fed separately from other cats (b) he drive us nuts at night (c) he annoys the other cats (d) we have to keep him away from our dog if our dog is out because the two play together and our dog doesn't know his own strength....

It's just a guest bedroom with a tall scratching post, a flat scratching board, a litter box, water, and a soft blanket on the bed. Plus toys scattered.

Our spare bedroom has the litter boxes, lots of toys, and a small study area for me. There's a shelf next to the window with a soft bed so they can lay in front of the window if they want. I'm thinking about taking out the study area and putting a futon in there instead (the cats or company could sleep on it, LOL). I rarely use it for a study room. Our kitchen is huge, so I prefer to sit out there to study.

I don't have a special room for my two cats, though I wish I could. However, they pretty much like ruling the entire apartment.

My spare bedroom is where their litterboxes are, their toy box, kibble and water bowls for when they get hungry if i'm at work, and a scratching post

My whole house is designed for my cats! I have more cat trees/perches than "people" furniture, which they also use. The spare bedroom and second bathroom are for the five litter boxes, but there's stuff for them all over the place.

My cats have the run of the house, but the basement is set up just for them (OK, so the rabbit pen is down there, too---they can share some of it!). Also the "porch" room. There's a cat door into the basement, and a baby gate into the porch. This is to keep the dogs out of the cat food and litterboxes.

Our laundry room is also known as the cat room. A lot of them spend the majority of their time in it. It has food, water, cat trees, beds, toys.

But they have free range of the entire house.

UM.. did you even knock?!

We currently don't, but I'd love to have a cat room someday & go "paws to the wall" with the decorating!

Yep.. mine aren't allowed in the 'human' part of the house because my OH is allergic. Sad but true.
So we've spent $5000 build a room downstairs for them that leads to an outdoor enclosure. The room is an ultimate cat room, with a bonus sofa bed for me to sleep down there with them!

You need to post pictures!

My spare room has two litter boxes, beds, scratching posts and toys for the cats, along with book shelves and my drafting table. The cats have access to that half of the house; spare room, hall and my bedroom. A baby gate in the dining room doorway keeps the dogs out of that side of the house. The cats are allowed where ever they want to go.

My bedroom is my cat room- there is too much cat stuff in there like a cat tree, scartching post, cat bed, litter box, toys all over the place..It's taking over my life!!

Yep, I do.

I live in a three bedroom, seven room apartment. The library has a litter box in it but is otherwise kept completely bare of anything but books (it's directly over my downstairs neighbor's son's bedroom and the cats have woken him before), and the smallest bedroom is being used as a closed off storage room.

The remainder of the house belongs to the cats. It is devoid of breakables and knick-knacks, and has plenty of throwblankets draped to provide warm nests throughout. The livingroom has a desk, two chairs, a wardrobe, and a loveseat the cats share with me, and seven pieces of cat furniture they don't. The main bedroom has several clear, flat surfaces perfect for feline lounging and a king-size bed they graciously allow me to curl up in. Every surface in the kitchen is cat-friendly and one of the two tables is strictly for feline fine dining. The bathroom has a lounging area kept clear for impromptu cat naps.

The second bedroom is reserved exclusively for use as a feline "ten-forward/gym" - I am only allowed in there to clean and rotate the toys. There are shelves for strategic pouncing, a futon for stretching out, and a cube-gym that makes a neat three-dimensional wrestling mat, not to mention a handful of cat beds and hideaways scattered around. A three-foot crinkly tunnel and another dozen or so cool kitty toys round out the accommodations.
