A pet house comprising:

• a main body portion having a front, a rear and first and second side walls, with a first access aperture formed in at least one of said walls;
• an intermediate wall having upper and lower side surfaces, said lower side surface horizontally disposed over said walls of said main body portion to partially cover a first portion of said main body portion;
• an upper body portion including a projecting wall having a generally frustapyramidal shape and which extends upwardly from said upper side surface of said intermediate wall, said projecting wall having a second access aperture formed therein;
• said upper body portion, said intermediate wall and said walls of said main body portion defining an interior chamber;
• an interior wall which separates said interior chamber into lower and upper chambers accessible by said first and second access apertures, respectively and having an interchamber access aperture formed therein;
• and
• said second access aperture providing access from said interior chamber to said upper side surface of said intermediate wall.

In a multi-level cat house, the combination comprising:

• a lower body portion having a bottom wall adapted to rest on a support surface and a first peripheral wall structure extending upwardly from said bottom wall and defining a first interior space;
• at least one access aperture in said peripheral wall structure of a size sufficient to accommodate the entry of a cat into said first interior space;
• an upper body portion having a peripheral edge and a peripheral wall structure extending upwardly from said peripheral edge and defining a second interior space;
• and
• said peripheral edge being configured to permit said upper body portion to be removably mounted on said lower body portion in a first upright position in which said peripheral wall structure of said upper body portion extends upwardly from said lower body portion and in a second inverted position in which said peripheral wall structure of said upper body portion extends downwardly into the first interior space of said lower body portion.

A method of assembling a multi-level pet house comprising the steps of:

• providing an open-topped lower body portion having a plurality of walls which defines a first interior space, said plurality of walls of said lower body portion including a front wall in which a first access aperture is formed, a rear wall and first and second side walls;
• providing an interior wall having a second access aperture formed therein;
• supportably mounting said interior wall on generally horizontal ledges of said rear and first and second side walls of said lower body portion such that said interior wall covers a first portion of said first interior space;
• providing a partially open-bottomed upper body portion having a front wall in which a third access aperture is formed, a rear wall, a partial bottom wall, a top wall and first and second side walls, said front, rear, top and first and second side walls of said upper body portion defining a second interior space;
• and
• supportably mounting said upper body portion on said lower body portion such that said first and second interior spaces are in communication with each other via said second access aperture and said partial bottom wall covers a second, remaining, portion of said first interior space.
