The Cat House (Latvian: Kaķu nams) is a building situated at 10 Meistaru iela in the old town of Riga, the capital of Latvia. It was built in 1909 according to the blueprint of architect Friedrich Scheffel. The building is styled as medieval architecture with some elements of Art Nouveau. It is known for the two cat sculptures, with arched backs and raised tails, on its roof. It is said that the owner of the house wanted the cats to be placed with their tails turned towards the house of the Great Guild, which is nearby, as he held a grudge against its members. It was later ordered that the cats should be turned so as to face the guildhouse.
The legend known by most Rigans, which is also told to tourists, comes in at least two versions. One version of the legend has it that the wealthy tradesman who commissioned the building was refused membership of the Riga Tradesmen's Guild, mostly just called the Great Guild. The central element of both versions is the anecdote that seeking retribution the tradesman had two copper statues of angry-looking cats with arched backs and raised tails placed on the turret rooftops with their tails turned towards the house of the Great Guild, situated across the street.
A cat house is a cattery, a place where cats are housed.

Baby, baby, you're my heart's desire
Got my engine going and my pants on fire nosedive.
Somersault down to hell
Zoom right up and ring heaven's bell
And then stay till I fuse your wire.
Baby, baby, gonna hunger for your leisure
Gonna polish up your chrome and shine your treasure
Silken bellies and downy thighs
A little trick with a big surprise
So stay let me be your pleasure

And he'll stay 'n' give me such good lovin'
