This "cattery" is amazing. Olive (the cat) sure does have a loving owner. A beautiful blend of modern design with all the cat essentials like a scratching mat, bird's eye view, and cushy sleeping quarters.

I made this house for my cat, Olive. She enters through a door in the bottom side and then ascends a ramp, which boosts her to the upper level. The front wall is plexi-glass, the floor is 2.5 inch thick old sheepskin rug, and my wife made some small paintings that hang on the walls. There is also a big cardboard scratching porch. Cats love to scratch and relax on cardboard. The top is removable and the glass slides out for maintenance.

Hey, they're pack animals so it would only make sense man's best friend gets a social network too. The SNIF tag is a wireless doo-dad that clips onto Fido's collar. As he/she passes by other SNIF enabled dogs, they exchange data and record each other's presence. Everything uploads to an online site where your dog's SNIF profile exists.

When we think of architecture, we usually think of it as human-people thing. When pets enter the picture, we augment a few things here and there to make it suitable for them but when architecture considers pets in the equation, the results are charming, whimsical, and just too 'effin cute. This Japanese firm is marketing homes with pet amenities any animal lover would love.

For the dog that has everything, why not some ruff diamonds? Vivienne Westwood is teaming up with jewelry designers to create a line of jewel encrusted collars to present at the upcoming Pet a Porter show. I'm not kidding.

The collar/jacket combo above is covered in diamonds and sapphires. If you want one, it'll cost you a small fortune which is precisely why all 35 tickets to the show are going to celebs who have cash to burn.

My dog Miko is spoiled. Ask any of my friends and they'll tell you. I don't care tho. I'm going to take it to the next level and get him this beautiful bowl called Coco's China. I mean white porcelain on a walnut base? That is gorgeous and for $99 it better be.

Oh thank baby Jebus and the crafty designer who created The Swoop. As anyone with a dog knows, picking up hot fresh poo is gross. The Swoop eliminates some of the grossness by making things a little less muss and fuss. You simply wrap a plastic bag around the claws which grabs the hot stinkin' poo and then turns the bag inside out. Genius, this is 10x better than the pooper scoopers in stores. I needs it now.
