Kim Johnson blogs about home décor for Desire to Inspire. Every day her posts are filled with photos of enviable interiors, many of which can be found within her impeccable Ottawa, Canada home. And while each room within her 926 square foot pad is a study in beauty, it's the fact that Kim shares her space with 9 cats (and her fiancé!) that's really impressive. With so much fur flying, Kim's home could have easily ended up looking like a PetCo cat aisle, but instead she's brilliantly figured out how to incorporate living with cats with living in style. One of the ingenious additions she added when she remodeled her kitchen is a secret floor hatch that leads her felines to the little kitty room.

 
When Kim and her fiancé decided to remove the wall separating kitchen from basement stairs, they replaced the door that leads to the sub level with a hatch in the floor. The floor panel includes a small pet door that Kim's cats use to get to the litter box housed in the basement. You can see more photos of this amazing addition in Kim's Flickr set. 
 
 
Here's a shot of how the amazing hatch works. And as if that weren't cool enough, her babies eat in style when noshing food and lapping up water from these footed glass bowls, complete with antique tray and kitty portrait.
 
 
Thanks for letting us share Kim!
