The Kitty Preschool Photos copyrighted by the individual photographers This kitty preschool is not for kittens too young for first grade. This is a preschool for human children. What makes is a "kitty" preschool is its shape—it is designed in the shape of a cat! Kindergarten Wolfartsweier is located in Karlsruhe, Germany. Designed by artist Tomi Ungerer in collaboration with architect Ayla Suzan Yöndel, Crouching like a sphinx, the school facade appears like the lying cat. Children enter through its mouth.
The body of the cat consists of a locker room, classrooms, a kitchen, a dining room and a staircase. The cat's head is a main hall.
The eyes make for large windows that fill the play room with sunlight.
The cat’s back is a fuzzy green roof and its tail is a slide for the children to ride outside to the playground.
The pre-school in Germany is not the only cat-shaped building in the world. In Seoul, Korea, there is an " Alice in Wonderland" Park that features a building that is shaped as a smiling version of the Cheshire Cat.
In Japan, there is a cafe with an entrance of a Cheshire cat. Customers enter through the mouth . . .
Finally, although not a building, in Miami Florida, circa 1955, the Fontainebleau Hotel had a swimming pool in the shape of a cat . . .
