"以寵物為中心的家風行日本"

如果你有寵物你就會知道他們幾乎占據你的生活，更別說是你的家了。在日本，設計生看準並利用我們對寵物的愛，以能讓這群四隻腿的朋友心靈上感到舒適來設計有眾多特色的家。從大型的貓抓板、有床墊的貓跳台到十分特殊的伸展台，在日本一間房子（裡面住有16隻貓！）儼然成為貓科動物的「太喵（妙）了」樂園。也別忘記狗屋喔！多個寵物門、較低的窗戶和除去毛髮的通風設施，以及各種抗臭居家設計的用具，讓你開始懷疑這間房子到底是給誰住的：是人類還是狗兒們？

對話範例：

(寵物屋) Cary和Miranda是一對夫妻。Cary正在抱怨Miranda的貓。來聽聽他們的對話吧。

Cary：嘿！給我滾出去！

Miranda：怎麼了？

Cary：你那隻笨貓一直把書架上的東西撞倒。他差一點就用字典殺了我。

Miranda：阿呀，貓本來就愛爬高爬低的，也許你應該把你的書移到其他地方去。

Cary：這實在是太可笑了。書架本來就是讓你放書的。你以為這是他的公寓而非我們的。

Miranda：你知道嗎，有房屋設計師正在打造以寵物為主的家。也許我們可以請人來改造適合貓咪的書架和走道。

Cary：免談。我才不要為了你的貓咪重新裝潢這間公寓。

Miranda：那麼你只好必須繼續閃躲掉落的書本。

(Life) Pet-Centered Homes Catching On In Japan

If you have a pet, you may understand how they can seem to take over your life, not to mention your home. In Japan, designers are taking our love of pets and running with it, designing homes with plenty of features with our four-legged friends comfort in mind. From a huge scratching post, to bed-lined shelving, to a very special catwalk, one home in Japan (which houses 16 cats!) has become a felines purrrfect paradise. Dont forget the doghouses, however. Multiple pet doors, low windows, ventilation for hair removal, and odor-resistant everything are cropping up in home designs that make you wonder who the house is really for: the humans, or the dogs?

Dialogue Example:

(Pet House)Cary and Miranda are a couple. Cary is complaining about Mirandas cat. Lets listen to their conversation.

Cary: Hey! Get out of here!

Miranda: Whats wrong

Cary: That silly cat of yours keeps knocking things off the bookshelf. He almost killed me with a dictionary!

Miranda: Well, cats like to climb on things. Maybe you should move your books somewhere else.

Cary: Thats ridiculous. A bookshelf is for books. Youd think this was HIS apartment, not ours.

Miranda: You know, there are home designers that are making homes that center around pets. Maybe we can have someone come and make shelves and paths just for the cat.

Cary: No way. Im not redesigning this apartment just for your cat.

Miranda: Well, then youre going to have to keep dodging falling books.
