About the book:

With their #1 New York Times bestseller Catification, Animal Planet host JACKSON GALAXY and cat design wizard KATE BENJAMIN, of Hauspanther.com, showed cat lovers across the nation that it’s possible to create cat-friendly but also chic homes. The DIY projects and design ideas from the book inspired a community—what Galaxy and Benjamin have dubbed the Catification Nation.

Now, melding the inspired ideas from that community together with Galaxy and Benjamin’s expertise, CATIFY TO SATISFY: Simple Solutions for Creating a Cat-Friendly Home (Tarcher Perigee paperback; on sale Nov 17) offers 20+ new projects and many more design tricks to help cat guardians address everyday cat care issues. Whether you have a feline friend who likes to pee everywhere but his litter box, a cat who wants to cocoon in the most inconvenient places, or you just want to create an attractive as well as safe outdoor space for your kitty, CATIFY TO SATISFY walks you through the basics with gorgeous full-color photographs, how-tos from Benjamin and the Catification Nation, and insights from Galaxy on decoding your furry friends.

The perfect gift for cat lovers looking to design their way to feline bliss, CATIFY TO SATISFY shows how a little creativity can go a long way in keeping your home stylish and your cats happy and healthy.
