To keep them occupied, Cohen, a home builder, began designing and constructing elaborate catwalks, tunnels, platforms and perches throughout his house. So far he’s spent nearly $40,000, including for specially designed closets with exhaust fans to keep litter-box odors at bay. Meanwhile, five Roomba robot vacuum cleaners prowl the floors for cat hair.
In the home office, cats can climb up a rope-wrapped pole and either hop to adjacent platforms or descend a spiral walkway. “I thought maybe the cats would just look at it, but they use it all,” Cohen says. “It’s like a freeway sometimes with them all over the place.”
