Now that's a purr-fect paradise! Man with 18 cats spends $35,000 to turn his home into a pet playground



A man with 18 cats decided to turn his home into a feline paradise, adding in colorful ramps, walkways and tunnels for the animals to play on.

The unidentified cat lover, whose house is located in Goleta, California, spent a whopping $35,000 on the renovation, which included the addition of a spiral walkway, tiny stairs to leading to various kitty ledges and climbing polls that double as scratching posts.

More importantly, he also installed a new ventilation system to ensure that the air is regulated - a necessity for a home housing so many animals.
