TikToker's father made the most of his architectural expertise by customizing various furniture for his daughter's cat. As shown in the video, the video has been viewed more than 3 million times.

The video was posted on mini_minerva_'s TikTok account on October 24, and began with hypoallergenic Siberian cats before seeing several different custom furniture pieces.

A heart-shaped cat tower covered with bath mats, a private “trash lounge” and a floor-to-ceiling tenant-friendly custom tree climber are just some of the creations of the cat owner’s father.

"What should he do next?" Read the text on the video.

The video sparked joy in the comments section, and others wanted to know how some of the works were constructed.

"My cat just handed me a liberation document," a TikTok comment wrote.

Another wrote: "The father who knows crafts and loves cats is a powerful existence."

Someone suggested that TikToker's father should find a way to sell his work to other cat owners. Mini_minerva_ replied that she was trying to persuade him to open his own shop.

"Your dad is a genius and I am glad he has been using it," another comment wrote.

"I like that he took the time to make the tower into a heart shape. Beyond everything," one viewer wrote.

Although many pet owners don't usually make custom furniture for furry friends, they will find ways to ensure that their home is pet-friendly.

An article published in Architectural Digest outlines several ways pet owners can make their living spaces more pet-friendly.

If a dirty pet is brushed on the wall, it can be easily cleaned with wipeable wallpaper or paint finishes. The owner can also consider how to make full use of the storage space.

Kari Whitman, owner of design company Kari Whitman Interiors of Hearts Dog Rescue, told Architectural Digest that pet owners can use large baskets or old-fashioned crates to store toys while ensuring that the space remains clean.

Owners are also reminded to pay attention to certain cleaning products, because some products may be toxic to animals.

mini_minerva_ released some follow-up videos, including the friendliness of the cat tower to renters and the revelation of her father, who said that his father loves her cat and likes to build it.

In the video explaining how the cat tower fits in the apartment, TikToker said that the walls are padded and the beams are inclined and supported in a specific way, which means that the walls do not need screws.

"What a great job," one TikTok viewer wrote. "After removing it, pay attention to the thought process that nothing is destroyed. Good job."
