Beautiful Houses-wooden Tiles For The Cats On The Roofs Of Beijing

In Beijing they had the great idea of ​​wooden houses on the roof that helps keep the rooftops longer yet to stray cats have a home in the refuge. They are also really nice and made ​​totally of wood.

There are a lot of minihouses on the roofs of Beijing.Why? 

Simple, they are small, comfortable and creative shelters for stray cats in the city.It's the Maoer project Okamoto Deguchi design (ODD), which aims to improve the quality of life of cats through the installation of these boxes specially designed for conventional roofing of houses. 

The series of wooden boxes, which debuted during the 2014 Beijing Design Week, fits in perfectly with the grooves of the roofs of the famous alleys, in Chinese 'hutong', winding around the Forbidden City.The shelters for cats have multiple purposes, as well as to give a warm dry space to sleep. 

There are hundreds of stray cats in Beijing and are very helpful to eliminate the rats of the city.To have all these cats and live with them without being living in any part of the city is to provide a place where they can take refuge.So have created these wooden houses on the roofs of Beijing. 

They are also able, in effect, to protect the ancient structures, preserving them from the wild grass that grows there, offering a way to control its growth.

Thus contribute also to protect the tiles from damage, adding a little extra insulation to the house.

The interior of these wooden houses has a number of holes that allows water to drain.And even say the use of the houses on the roofs serves to insulate the homes of inclement weather. 

These houses also allow the plants which grow on the roofs don't do in the grooves connecting the tiles and that is what prevents it from deteriorating so fast.

Now everything is to understand if the cats like them, or whether they will continue to prefer shelters.

Hopefully soon other countries will also be set on this idea and try to apply it to the rooftops.It is a good way to help animals while maintaining the cleanest city and prevent the rapid deterioration of the roofs of homes.

The coexistence between animals and humans in cities is necessary and to help animals is something that should satisfy everyone.Many times we help the homeless but do not stop to think about the stray animals and they need shelter as much as they need human.Sometimes things are easier than they look and can do more than we think for others, both humans and animals. 

For a better world.
