    The internet says:

    pan·try
    /ˈpantrē/

    noun
    a small room or closet in which food, dishes, and utensils are kept.

    OK, I have to ask - what is cat storage? Whoever stores cats?
    As Cicero said, “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.”

    If you can herd 'em, you can store 'em...

    As a "cat person," it is clear to me that the cats would store themselves there.

    If you look at the lower left corner of the enlarged first photo, there’s a fuzzy tail or two peeking out from the cats hanging out in those bottom shelves.

    I know cats would like to be in there because it’s like a box. Cats love enclosed places and boxes. But I can just imagine the cat hair and the cat vomit that one would have to crawl into periodically to clean out.

    I think that pantry is larger than our kitchen. Maybe larger than half the rooms in our house....

    Yes, we had a cat storage space for a couple of days... I’ve since blocked it off and now they make do with a small room.

    Same here, Steve, I think larger than any of the rooms at our house!

    I wish I had taken pictures of my mom's pantry before we took it apart when having and estate sale and selling the house. My dad made it for her by reconstructing the garage. He walled in half of it and you walked through the pantry to go into the house. One wall was glass and the entry door with a potting bench at that window to work on her bonsai. The wall next to that was all deep cupboards that she kept all her specialized cookware of which she collected just about everything as she worked in an antique store and was always bringing home finds. She then put her artistry towards the cupboard doors and painted them like the doors to chicken coops with chickens at every door. Hard to explain and do it justice but she even put straw and chicken wire over the top of the paintings to make it look more real. Each of us kept a door or two because they were so amazing. the other two walls were floor to ceiling bookcases full of her cookbook collections. In both the kitchen and the pantry, copper pans hung from racks in the ceiling. The next room off that had a huge freezer, floor to ceiling shelves of food and the washer and dryer.
