This house filled with catwalks and cat-friendly items is amazing! I'd so love to have even just one catwalk. Perhaps some of you who are handy can bring some of this to your own home.

The toes here were photographed pool-side at the spectacular complex at the Aqua Kauai Beach Resort in Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii.
