Look closely, this ornate Parisian-themed bedroom is actually designed in miniature just for cats! Cat lover Michèle Fougères created this special space in memory of her cat Jaimito who passed away at age 14 after a happy life with Michèle including two years living in France. Now her three cats Eloísa, Mila and Jaimita enjoy this fancy boudoir.
Michèle and her husband live in Cuenca, Ecuador. The Suisse chalet-style architecture of their home creates lots of small storage areas in the corners of the roof. These spaces are just the right size for cats, so they decided to catify, and boy did they certainly go all out with this project!
The details are incredible, including ornate trim around the door and window, fancy framed cat portraits on the wall, miniature furniture and little touches everywhere that catch your eye and make you smile. There’s even a view of the Eiffel Tower!
Cats are not very popular in Ecuador, but Michèle hopes to change that attitude by designing fun spaces like her Parisian cat bedroom that give cats a space to enjoy while also telling a story about the cats and bringing pleasure to the cat guardians. Michèle, you’re doing a fantastic job! Keep up the great work!
Here’s a little video tour of this fantastic cat bedroom:
I hope they succeed in introducing more Ecuadoreans to cats and the unconditional loyalty and love they give those who love them!
Cats are lovely, I never have a cat before but few months ago I was decided have one and I’m so happy with her she is a wonderful company, and she over pass my expectations.
I’m visit Michelle house and see the beautiful space they did for Jaimìto, know they have two more lovely kitty’s, I’m so glad to be there and learns they knowledge.
So thanks very much Michelle and Jorge to be the angels kitty’s and continued with your wonderful job.
I’m so proud of you guys.
Oh my…I don’t dare share this with my Princess, she’ll want one for herself…as if having my (OUR), entire living room to herself isn’t enough! 🙄😂
Speaking of royalty-was Leela the only kitty who was glued to the Royal wedding last weekend? There was just one part towards the end when she hopped off the bed, went and sat under “her drawer” in the kitchen, (where her cookies and organic catnip lollipops are kept-my daughter just sent her a new bag…for MY birthday…🙄😻), and whispered “meow” until I got up and got her one. I then held it while Her Highness licked her lollipop down to the stick while watching Meghan and Harry take their vows…if I could, i’d Post a picture.. 😂😂
Very good bedroom for my kitty, it is so lovely))
I absolutely love this bedroom and the details even more! I really hope she has success in introducing cats to Ecuadoreans, since they are such beautil and lovely animals!
