Animal toys may be stored in the animal living space as well. A removable barrier such as a grate or plastic ventilated sheet may cover a front opening to prevent undesirable movement of the animal in and out of the furniture structure. Animals may use a detachable ramp member to climb to the top of the furniture structure. For larger or older animals, the furniture structure may serve as a bed or as a means to help the animal get into the bed of the owner. The furniture structure may form a bed for animals of all ages. The bed may be positioned adjacent an owner's bed.
