People wonder why stairs are built on the facades of houses in Switzerland, and here’s why

In Switzerland, the love of cats is so deeply rooted that residents build special stairs on their houses to make it easier for their furry friends to climb and give them access to their homes.

These unique structures are not only a practical element of architecture, but also a sign of the Swiss people’s devotion to their pets.

Tourists quickly notice the numerous buildings in the country’s cities that have such cat stairs. Brigitte Schuster, a well-known designer and author, found this tradition particularly fascinating.

She highlighted how lovingly the Swiss treat their cats and how these stairs have become an indispensable part of the local architecture.

Schuster himself has even published a book on the subject, which captures the deep affection the Swiss have for their cats. This gesture of care and attention undoubtedly deserves recognition, not only in Switzerland but worldwide.
