The cat just claims what ever spot he wants

You will build a cat nook and the cat will still aggressively claim your office chair

Well yeah, if you use it so much it must be the best chair.

Isn't that what a doghouse is for

Depends if it’s a proper dog or one of those child substitute ones.

For whatever reason I imagined a child substitute dog as like one of those service dogs with a harness and everything. Imagine a harness "CHILD-SUBSTITUTE ANIMAL" 😭

More like a rail-replacement bus. Your child can't make it to school today so we sent the dog.

What about a cranny

My cats share a toilet with us as then they can mucky the tiles as much as they want. It’s not like we can keep them out, even when we want privacy.

I'd love it if our dog would sleep in a nook. I might actually get a decent night's sleep
