Birds and cats usually do not make the best of friends ( estimates domestic felines kill millions of wild birds each year in North America alone), but when both have their own homes, they can learn to live harmoniously. Most people opt for a simple cage for their birds, and the average cat gets a cozy nook. But these animal lovers have gone all out, from a whole house designed around cats to birdhouses that are miniature works of art.

Extreme DIY Cat Enclosure
Extreme DIY Cat Enclosure
Some people would do anything for their cats. DIYer of Dallas, Texas, wanted to give his two felines a fenced-in place to play in the yard, so he built a 17-foot-long run on the side of his house. The cat run was nice, but a few years later Stone decided his kitties needed more space. So he built a larger cat enclosure (shown) in his backyard, which is 15 feet wide, 24 feet long, and a little over 6 feet tall, and connected it to the original structure. The enclosure features shelves, posts, and stairs for the cats to scratch and climb on, as well as hooks for Stone to hang a hammock from and chill with his pampered felines.
