They want *how* much for this?

I just found the absolute coolest, most ridiculously expensive piece of
cat furniture. If I win the lotto, I'm getting one of these for the crew:

I wonder how hard would it be to make one myself.... hmmmmm....

If I were you, I'd go and collect a bunch of free cardboard boxes from
the grocery and try to design one. That way your cats will like it
better anyway.

My cats prefer things that weren't made specifically for them. Like
just plain cardboard boxes-- I have them all over the living room. Not
very artistic, but cheap. What is really fun is when one of them camps
out in a box and another comes tearing up thinking they're going to go
into the box and finds it already occupied!

I will say....that looks like it would be one hell of a lot of work.
Intersting though.

It looks like they must have a mechanical stage hooked up to a
computer running a CAD program to translate their designs to layers.
The end result looks a lot like what comes out of those 3D printers.
It's neat.

I wonder if you could send them a CAT scan of your head and ask them
to make one of those in the shape of your brain?

Wow! I mean, it looks nice and all - but it's just cardboard for pity's
sake!

That's called a cardboard box with a few holes cut in it.... shabby chic and
all that ;-)

You need 7, then each cat can have their own. ;o)

That is so cool and clever! But $249!!!!! US$, too, I presume! I don't
even want to calculate how much it would be in our money!

Roughly $288 CAD and I bet the cats would ignore it. ;-)

Yet in one of the pics on the web site, a cat is clawing at it... it's made
of cardboard... how long will it last? In the case of my three, possibly a
day or two!

Yeah, it would not last long here either. Xoxo *loves* to scratch on
cardboard and the boy has long claws.
