The Walkers created a "cat-friendly" house: literal cat walks through much of their house. The is a climbing /scratch post for athletic cats, a staircase for the older and less active, rest spots, tunnels through walls, all worked into a colorful and attractive decor keyed to the Walker's Mexican art collection.

Walker does warn the wold-be imitator about creating cul-desacs, where one cannot reach the cats, but what does he do when they need to go to the vet? Shoot them with a dart gun?

The house was also the subject of a television special. ( )

For cat-lovers this is a 'must-read' book. The author had, at the time of writing, nine cats and the house had, in effect been turned over to them with high walkways from room to room, ramps and stairways to allow access for the cats and with resting and turning places.

The book is filled with photographs of the colourful decorations and pictures of the cats enjoying their own special world above the rest of the household.

At the back there is a section showing how to construct the stairways and ramps and close-ups and instructions for the through-ways which connect the walk-ways from room to room, all amazingly decorative and imaginative. ( )
