The top cat-ladder has been featured on the blog before. Namely, in March 2009. But not with the same poetic graffiti. Click here to see the pictures.

The other night when I, as usual, was sitting front of the tv and ate chips, I saw a commercial for a lock company and in the background of the film was seen a cat-ladder. Here is a snapshot. In order to watch it, click here.

Who need one of those fancy ladders? There's a tree growing conveniently close to our deck, which our cat, Cally, uses as a regular access route to the second storey. I understand she's not the first cat living in the house to do so.

Hi, I saw your site with the cat ladders, very good… bravo ! Here are photos from our cat ladder ! We are in Switzerland. Best wishes and love from us and our cats Ami and Leo.

This is a cat ladder made for a flat in London. There was no outdoor access for the cat from the first floor flat, so a catflap was put in the window and the three section ladder installed to allow the cat into the garden. The ladder had to be strong enough to take the weight of the cat, but weak enough that it would not allow an intruder to gain entry.

HI

One for the blog page. Not the prettiest of constructions, but effective! Not only is it used by my cat, Digby, but he has a friend (and a few enemies) that use it to come and see him as well now. Greg, London.

The use of super-genius sock-wire is demonstrated by our cat. The ladder was designed specifically for use with the tilting window. The cat can not get hurt, because the wedges of the windows are covered with wood. In addition, the window so you can open even in winter, because prevents the cottage in the output, a direct draft. And all this WITHOUT hole in the window. Perfect for an apartment for rent.

A mobile home ladder! I wonder a little why not the cat can use the usual entrance a few feet away. Newermind - The picture was taken in New Zealand by Jim Tucker.

This is pretty funny. A police officer in Stockholm who tweet about different kinds of interventions in the city. Read this tweet from 31 October.

Police patrol 8 thought they were chasing a burglar in dark clothing climbed the balconies on Brännkyrkagatan. It was a only local resident who built a cat-ladder.
