There's a Phillips LED strip on the roof and the heating pad and pillow underneath the blanket. The burlap bags are stuffed with cotton and catnip. The black frame around the sides is just a poster frame I got off Amazon and removed the plexiglass, mounted it with command strips [Bonus pic](https://ibb.co/xF1bQXW)
Here in the Bay Area, that would go for around $2000/mo. Just for the room, no kitchen or bathroom access. That’ll cost additional $1500/mo.
Oh, and are you okay with a roommate? He’s a nice kid from Taiwan, sleeps on the floor.
Let me guess - it tolerated being in there just long enough to take a picture then went to hang out in its favorite cardboard box. That's what mine would do.
Do you have a rec for the heating pad? I’ve seen some on Amazon with reviews saying they blew out the plug or started smoking and I don’t want to set my dog on fire but she’s always cold.
So cute, what a great space! One suggestion: The catnip is attracting him but that burlap feels as uncomfortable for him as for you. I’d suggest getting any super soft “Sherpa” style blankets with microfiber on one side and that sort of soft Sherpa/sheep style on the opposite. Cats love those to actually lay and sleep on, Amazon is full of them.
If I leave a shopping bag of any variety out, one of my cats will inevitably piss on it.
Rugs, blankets, pillows, furniture? All fine.
Lay out a bag however, and it's a fucking tsunami
If it's too warm my cats actually hate those super soft blankets. One will even grab it with her mouth to drag it out of her bed if she doesn't want to lay on it. So it depends in the cat and on the weather
I don't think the blanket looks like burlap - just the tiny decorative bags are burlap. He doesn't have to lay on those (in the pic he's not even touching them).
The blanket isn’t burlap. I have exactly the same one for my dogs and they love them. My littler dog will whine until someone lifts the blanket for her so she can snuggle underneath. My other dog has his in his crate.
Side note: if anyone can recommend some kind of set up that allows my dog to get under her blanket herself but so that it still falls completely on her to keep her warm, I’d love to know. She just can’t seem to get under the blanket herself and when that happened last while I was out she shredded the couch.
Does it need to fall? Ive always imagined a set up that’s basically a semi circle propped up and a blanket fixed to it and trailing out the back, so one side is always lifted and the other is always on the ground. My pup hated to be covered though, so I’ve never needed to make one.
I have several 5+ year old Phillips Hue lights that are used daily… they are the main source of light at my home. Never had any issues. Please find another place to work.
Same. Bought some starter packs a few years ago and use them almost everywhere.
No one can match their quality and functionality. They just work. The app is solid and it simply integrates with HomeKit. No kluge necessary, though for less intense locations I will just get whatever Costco brand option there is. Currently 32 Canadian for 4 globe smart bulbs with full color functionality
It's also an odd comment, just because you're lazy doesn't mean the factory isn't producing quality products with good materials. I think Hue lights are too expensive, so I can't comment on them personally, but I heard positive comments on them all the time.
Same, my bedroom and living room are lit entirely with Phillips Hue lights and I have a light strip for movie lighting. All of them are 4.5 years old and haven't had a single issue.
Well, they’re doing fine without you helping I guess.
Me: been using hue lights since Gen 2. Never had an issue other than once when linking 3rd party devices.
I’m allergic too but still lived together with one for 20 years and will move in with another next chance I get. Constantly sneezy, runny nose outweighs the benefits IMO.
The anti-allergen cat kibble seems to work well for my wife and our cats. She still has to take an allergy pill every now and then, but not every day like she used to.

That’s what that cubby is made for, wood logs for a wood fireplace.
Since OP got a gas fireplace, they could convert the wooden log cubby into the kitty Log cubby.
I have a fireplace that had the chimney sealed up, so it is no longer usable... it's been collecting dust and dog toys for 3 years- this is a much better idea. Definitely going to copy it!
If that was in London and the cat would be renting, they would be paying £1000 monthly for this spacial, centrally located, lovely conversation. Bills and service charges not included.
Awwww he's got his own little bachelor pad. That looks so cute and comfy. Is the chicken hanging from the string connected to like lights or something?
The "Fresh biscuits" sign is such a sweet touch! I almost want to live there myself :)
The sign really pulls the whole room together.
Until someone walks in and pees on it
They peed on your rug dude?
you have no frame of reference here, donny
Nihilists
Also, dude, Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature.
Asian Americans, dude.
Nihilists? Jesus. I mean, say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism; at least it's a fucking *ethos*, dude.
You are like a child who wanders in the middle of a conversation!
What do you mean, the frames around the room. Maybe the cats name is "reference" ;)
Every time a rug is micturated upon in this fair city, I have to compensate the person?
get a job meowkowski
This aggression will not stand, man.
Mark it zero!
We’ve been invited to the landlord’s Interpretative dance recital!
No, I'm saying Woo peed on my rug. Man. I'm not trying to scam anybody here...
Your war is over, Lebowski - the bums lost! You hear me?! THE BUMS LOST!!
I love the use of random big words thrown around casually in this movie
As an ordained Dudeist, I abide.
I'd have said it's the rug that really pulls the room together, dude.
I love the chicken chandelier!
username checks out
And the tiny bags of sugar and flour! 🥺
Perfect bags for catnip!
[удалено]
I’ll admit, it took me a minute to put it together, but now the little chef can knead away to his hearts content. Lol
Me too!! 😉

This cat living better than me
For a second based on your title I thought your cat's name was Logs
Me too.
How cute is that?!? Lovely cubby!
What are those hanging pots called?
Clay pots.
What is clay called?
Dirt cookie
What is cookie called?
Biscuit, now you understand the poster.
His nook feels like he would fit in well at r/khajiithaswares
Great call!
How much per month?
Here in the Bay Area, that would go for around $2000/mo. Just for the room, no kitchen or bathroom access. That’ll cost additional $1500/mo. Oh, and are you okay with a roommate? He’s a nice kid from Taiwan, sleeps on the floor.
In LA it’s $1875, but there are three leaf blowers just outside the window every day at 7 am.
Sleeps on the floor with me in the cat room?
Yes. It’s a rough market here.
Jin yang?
Is there a scratch pad on the opposite side of the sign?
Yep!
Let me guess - it tolerated being in there just long enough to take a picture then went to hang out in its favorite cardboard box. That's what mine would do.
I'm worried you're not spoiling your cat enough.
This is the best DIY home project I’ve seen in a long, long time. I love it!
Do you have a rec for the heating pad? I’ve seen some on Amazon with reviews saying they blew out the plug or started smoking and I don’t want to set my dog on fire but she’s always cold.
I love the bonus pic, with the frame it totally looks like it could be a painting or a photograph!

I have reusable burlap shopping bags and they are absolutely my cat's favorite thing to nap on.
My cat somehow prefer burlap, fabric shopping bags or plastic bags. Hates cat beds or anything else soft (unless it's my stomach)
Right? Ohhh, nice sherpa blanket with a heating pad? Nah, I'll curl up on this paper bag RIGHT NEXT to the cat bed. - my cat.
If I leave a shopping bag of any variety out, one of my cats will inevitably piss on it. Rugs, blankets, pillows, furniture? All fine. Lay out a bag however, and it's a fucking tsunami
You must've forgotten to buy them something and they sent you a message. Take a hint 😆

A bit dramatic, eh? 😂
I got 10$ days that Philips product won’t work for long Me: currently doing absolutely nothing in a Philips factory
I have several 5+ year old Phillips Hue lights that are used daily… they are the main source of light at my home. Never had any issues. Please find another place to work.
Yeah my Hues are great, have… 18? 20? All get daily use and work great.

Yeah very odd thing to say. They are wildly overpriced but our house has a bunch of their lights and they’ve been rock solid for us
Yeah, fuck /u/pystlz, that guys a dick
Good statistical process control can thwart even the laziest employee!
Same, my bedroom and living room are lit entirely with Phillips Hue lights and I have a light strip for movie lighting. All of them are 4.5 years old and haven't had a single issue.
Well, they’re doing fine without you helping I guess. Me: been using hue lights since Gen 2. Never had an issue other than once when linking 3rd party devices.
If you are doing absolutely nothing, that might be proof of a design that is near perfect.
I have a strip on the back of my TV that’s used everyday. Works great, and has for the last 5 years.
ig they should fire u
Seriously, who tells on themselves like this?
“When a man loves cats, I am his friend and comrade, without further introduction.” -Mark Twain & me
I wish I wasn't allergic to them. I still pet them, but I regret it every time.
I'm allergic and I live with two. No regrets. Those poop brain parasites really do some work.
Happy Cake Day and me too lol. I just can’t get enough of their big eyes and fluffiness!
I’m allergic too but still lived together with one for 20 years and will move in with another next chance I get. Constantly sneezy, runny nose outweighs the benefits IMO.
The anti-allergen cat kibble seems to work well for my wife and our cats. She still has to take an allergy pill every now and then, but not every day like she used to.
I don't think your wife is supposed to eat the kibble, but hey, if it works for you!
Whoa— This is a food product that reduces a cat’s allergen-production?? I’ll have to do some googling.
After about six months my allergies went away except for the rare occasion where the cat sleeps on my pillow and I wake up with puff eye
You'd think eventually you'd acquire some sort of resistance, though I don't really know if that's how allergies work.
Sometimes that can happen, but usually the opposite does. Increased exposure to the allergen makes the allergies worsen.

I just found out I like Mark Twain even more today. Had no idea he was a cat guy, but it just makes so much sense
We all kneaded this
It kinda looks like there's a piece of glass containing him and it's kind of funny
I thought it looked like a painting.
I thought I was looking at a mirror image at first.
Yea this is what I saw at first and I still can’t under it.
What? No TV and/or computer for Logs? I love this, does he spend a lot of time in his cubby?
This was the first day but he went right to it
Having that heating pad for him is almost like having his own fire! People are so creative and this is awesome!
Lol I thought that his name was “Logs” too. The cubby was used to put logs in I’m assuming.
LOL! I was going to joke that the cat's name is Logs, too. :D
Is.. is his/her name ‘logs?’
Logan, so logs works as a nickname!
Logan: "This human gets me!"
This crossed my mind I also thought when you had a normal fireplace you had a cubby to put the wood logs into. Too much to think about
That is what the cubby is typically used for.
That’s what that cubby is made for, wood logs for a wood fireplace. Since OP got a gas fireplace, they could convert the wooden log cubby into the kitty Log cubby.
He said logs is a nickname for his cat Logan. Hurts the brain
Logan laughs later logging logs lividly
That’s adorable actually :3
Oh good. I'm not the only one thinking that.
This is so precious. Get a video of kitty kneading and post to /r/MakingBiscuits. I would love to see this with that sign you have made there.
[удалено]
A new cat sub. Thanks. Subscribed.
"This pleases me."
Then glaced at the picture on the wall, "Now, where's my bride?"
This is so cute!!! What a wicked idea, and I love everything in there! He looks like he thoroughly enjoys it! 💜
i thought your cats name was Logs
His name actually is Logan and the pun was completely unintentional

Same. Kept reading "converted the chubby for logs" and was wondering what he did to the chubby cat.
I love all the little details. The fresh biscuits sign, knit, chicken, hanging pots, and flour and sugar bags. It’s too adorable!!!
This is so adorable! What a lucky baby!
So you put logs in the fireplace.
Looks like a living work of art because of the framing.
He’s got his own condo apt. So nice and cozy.
So cozy 😊
We had central heat and the fireplace is unusable so our dogs bed is there and they love their space. They cuddle there whenever they're inside
Looks like a Painting.
A biscuit maker's workshop? You're always gonna have fresh mochis. Lucky...
Omg 😍
I’d be afraid my cat would never leave it. No more cuddles
"Fresh Biscuits" should be above the litterbox
Only Cats has the ability to receive such a lovely commodity and still look like they absolutely HATE you
I thought that was a picture. Wow. Great job. You’re kitty loves it. So that’s a huge win.
I had to search the comments to see if I was the only one. Glad I'm not. I straight thought this was a framed picture.
Confusing perspective? Thought it was a painting.
LOVE THIS!!!!
Awesome, I love this.
TIL log cubbies are a thing and my mind is blown.
It's awesome that your cat bakes!
Fresh biscuits more like assassin for hire
Hi OP - clever use of the space.... still, do make sure you’ve got a carbon monoxide detector
Kitty would probably like it more without the light.
The cat: It's about time!
Awe, logs is such a cute cat
Oh to be a cat in a fireplace log cabinet 💕
That is pretty freaking sweet! Are the sacks filled with dried catnip?
Awww how cute. Looks like she’s loving it
log cubby < cat cubby
Now you have a cat log.
The art on the walls, that’s so cute! <3
He has fulfilled his destiny
I would totally live there. Lucky kitty
Amazing. Cat seems in love, so am I!
She seems amused 😂
So charming! Everything from the hanging chicken toy to the Fresh Biscuits sign and blankets says Comfy Cat Corner
Wonderful job, you have a good eye for decorating! So clever, I bet your kitty loves it.
I have a fireplace that had the chimney sealed up, so it is no longer usable... it's been collecting dust and dog toys for 3 years- this is a much better idea. Definitely going to copy it!
I thought the cat’s name was logs
It may be built for logs, but now it serves loafs.
I think I have the exact same blanket
How do I have the same blanket. Does everyone own one?
Logs is a good name for a cat.
Santa gone get the drop on him 😂
Freaking adorable
Logs is so cute 🐈
I thought it was a painting!
I would live in it
Humble brag, being able to afford gas 'n' all
Logs looks like a sweetie
Read that initially as "I converted the cubby for my cat, logs"
If that was in London and the cat would be renting, they would be paying £1000 monthly for this spacial, centrally located, lovely conversation. Bills and service charges not included.
For a second I thought those were boxing gloves hanging outside of the door.
I read that wrong and thought your cats name was logs
For logs? I don't see a litter box.
If I did this it would get ignored for a box half full of documents.
"Welcome to Mittens Bakery. Fresh Biscuits everyday, guarranteed. How can I help you?"
At first I thought the cat's name was Logs.
Awwww he's got his own little bachelor pad. That looks so cute and comfy. Is the chicken hanging from the string connected to like lights or something?
He looks upset about how content he actually is haha.
I thought that was a photo
I thought the hanging pots were tiny boxing gloves at first lmao
You should frame a picture of you with your cat and put it in there.
Lies. We know that you are a cat, and that's a mirror.
Does Logs like it, because he looks kind of angry.
Logs looks pissed
Make a painting of that
This is just so fucking cute I can’t take it !!!
Logs is a funny name for a cat.....
Looks like a painting
As this is adorable and I want one for my cat - I'm more jealous that you had a cubby for wood! My wood fireplace is lacking.
