By nature, those who choose a four-legged feline as their pet tend to be more introverted, mysterious and sophisticated than their spirited counterparts: dog owners. Cat lovers should make interior design decisions that reflect their sleek, low-key personalities by opting for pieces that blend into their carefully curated spaces.

With that said, anyone who owns a cat knows that very often, we humans end up serving our furry friends as our masters—not the other way around. Satisfy your own interior design standards while keeping your beloved cat or kitten happy with one of these chic pieces specifically designed with your fur baby in mind.
