There's a book about the sibling construction: the cat ladder. It's called "Arcatecture"[0]. 0: https://brigitteschuster.com/swiss-cat-ladders

I've personally found that the most comfortable human spaces incorporate layers of exposure as described in the article. I also find our cats' preferences to mirror ours (even when we're not around), with the added depth of how they fit into cabinets and other small spaces. I feel as tho our failure to architect for cats properly is more a symptom of laymen approaching architecture. Aside: on a much larger scale, I've found commercial construction often sucks at this (except at the high end) while haphazard diy builds often naturally incorporate this.
