The [cat-friendly furniture ideas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neko-yama) are also just as friendly for humans as they feature armrests that function for humans but also are hallow for cats to play and climb through. There is also ample space so that they can comfortably enter the space and take a nap. The chair comes in two variants -- one of these has an armrest that goes around the chair from end to end. The other variation turns the armrests into tunnels for [shelving units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chameleon-furniture) so that owners can put things aside that are not in use by the cat. There is also a stool design that has a very low backrest curving inward to create the same tunnel shape.
