Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2006They 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: http://www.postmodernpets.com/catp_cocoon.htm I wonder how hard would it be to make one myself.... hmmmmm....  SignatureVictor M. Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam here: uce@ftc.gov Email me here: pistorLITTER@BOXaustin.rr.com 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!

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? :) > I just found the absolute coolest, most ridiculously expensive piece of > cat furniture.

Roughly $288 CAD and I bet the cats would ignore it. ;-) SignatureAdrian (Owned by Snoopy and Bagheera) Cats leave pawprints on your heart. http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk >>> I just found the absolute coolest, most ridiculously expensive piece >>> of cat furniture.

What makes it so ridiculous is that it's basically made of cardboard, and while the cats would love it, in a month's time it would be a shredded eyesore. A $250 shredded eyesore.

You're probably right, but there would always be a little pile of cardboard "crumbs" right underneath it, from the cats' daily activities.

If you can figure out how to do it yourself, good luck. Judging from the "shelf-life" of the corrugated cardboard scratching trays and gadgets I have, I don't think even winning the lottery would justify BUYING one!

It looks like the ultimate Tyche Box. If it were up to Tyche, Mom would add to her toy collection more often, because Mom has to save up for big, expensive toys that come in big boxes. It takes more time for Mommy to save than it does for Tyche's stupid sister to sit on the roof of the box (when Tyche's inside it) until it's ruined, right Kumani? --Fil
