The furniture containing a cage for a pet animal provides an article of decorative furniture having a chamber for holding a pet animal, which may be covered by decorative furniture doors when not in use. A grated cage door is mounted to the furniture housing for selectively covering and sealing the front opening leading into the chamber. An opening is formed through a rear wall of the furniture housing, which is covered by a grated vent, providing airflow through the chamber for the pet animal. A removable tray, a water bottle or interior protective paneling may be optionally added to the chamber for the convenience and care of the pet animal.
