Introducing the newest Moderncat fave, Caboodle Corrugated Habitats for Cats from InPlay Products. I spotted this the other day in my local pet boutique (The Noble Beast in Phoenix, thanks ladies!) and I loved it immediately. Made from double-wall corrugated cardboard, this structure comes packaged in a neat little box and assembles into a 20″ x 20″ x 30″ three-story interactive playspace. You can even customize the design by knocking interior passageways into the ceilings/floors. The sleek lines and simple materials make this a kitty condo perfect for a moderncat household.
The reduced packaging already makes this a green product, but add the fact that the condo is made from completely recyclable materials, the white portions are printed with non-toxic soy based inks, and it comes with three “tumblorz” cat toys made from scrap material — this is eco-kitty’s dream home!
The designers of Caboodle obviously achieved their goal of creating a modern, environmentally-friendly, affordable, and non-imposing cat condo that is appealing and entertaining. All that and it’s sustainably manufactured in the USA. Caboodle is available at fine pet boutiques nationwide or it can be purchased directly from caboodlecats.com.

Looks really cool – just hope it is sturdy enough for three chunky cats??
January 28th, 2009 at 4:38 am
These are fabulous! Recyclable, chewable (my little miss likes to chew on cardboard boxes) and good looking!
January 28th, 2009 at 5:01 am
all cats love cardboard its got to be a winner

I THINK IT’S GREAT. THERE’S JUST SOMETHING ABOUT CATS AND CARDBOARD THAT GO TOGETHER. I BRING A BOX IN THE HOUSE AND MY CAT GOES NUTS FOR IT. FORGET THE NEW TOY…JUST GIVE HER THE BOX.

This is the product of the year in recognition of our economic concerns. Every one is a winner, the owner, the cat and the company. Kudos
January 28th, 2009 at 6:44 am
Purrfect, eco-conscious, mod, and ideal for the cat owner who’s kitty needs play spaces moved from room-to-room or home-to-home!
January 28th, 2009 at 6:46 am
I would be so proud if my design students came up with this!
January 28th, 2009 at 7:35 am
stylish and creative and innovative!
January 28th, 2009 at 8:23 am
i want one, two or three for the kids. they would love this
January 28th, 2009 at 8:26 am
very cool for cats I love the idea very neat my cats would love love love it
January 28th, 2009 at 9:08 am
My cat, Boots, is a candidate for serious boxhab. He is addicted to the things and will squeeze his buns into the tiniest of boxes to get his fix. He would be in heaven with this. (And still be able to do the hidden paw action to torment the poodle and the dalmatian.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:12 am
Hmm, I think I need two of these as I don’t think my cats would like to share. Perhaps I could then get rid of the less attractive cardboard boxes that have become fixtures in my apartment.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:47 am
My four cats would love to have these – they enjoy scratching their claws on corrugated cardboard but perhaps if I put rugs in the cardboard houses…….
January 28th, 2009 at 10:01 am
I made an amateur version of this for my cat a year ago so she would have something interesting to do while I was on holiday. She LOVED it, and I would love for her to have another.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:02 am
I love the cardboard inexpensive concept of this design…and on top of that, what kitty doesn’t find a cardboard box irresistible?
January 28th, 2009 at 10:05 am
These are super cute-I wish they were a little taller and larger, but very cool idea!
January 28th, 2009 at 10:18 am
How clever!!! I absolutely love the design! So simple, but still stylized.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:29 am
Wow, this is so cute. My cats would love it of course! And it’s a great environmentally-friendly product.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:41 am
judging by the amount of time my cats spend in empty boxes, i think they’d love this!
January 28th, 2009 at 11:23 am
every cats dream house!
January 28th, 2009 at 1:55 pm
what a great idea! my kitties would LOVE to chew on that
January 28th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
My cats LOVE boxes. Not the toys that come in the boxes, of course!
January 28th, 2009 at 2:48 pm
My cats want to win….they are sitting here right now looking at it!
January 28th, 2009 at 3:24 pm
At first I thought I could make this myself, but it is cost efficient, I might as well buy one, or better yet win one. My cat and his new kitten pal would love it, I am sure.
January 28th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
Very interesting looking. I wonder how they’d hold up – one of my cats is an avid chewer.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:30 pm
This is great, my cats love cardboard boxes and this will look a lot nicer!
January 28th, 2009 at 6:07 pm
What a great idea!!
January 28th, 2009 at 9:08 pm
This is awesome. I wonder if it can be recreated DIY?
January 28th, 2009 at 10:00 pm
My 16 rescued kitties absolutely adore all these new corrugated cardboard playthings. This would be a very welcome addition!!
January 28th, 2009 at 10:04 pm
My cats would have a whale of a good time playing in this and pulling it apart.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:10 pm
this is awesome, although I think one of my cats would just tear it apart…
January 28th, 2009 at 10:20 pm
I think it’s great, my cat loves boxes, she’d love this!
January 28th, 2009 at 10:20 pm
I LOVE this! My cardboard fiends must have one!
January 28th, 2009 at 11:19 pm
My cat always prefers stuff I have around the house (water bottle caps, shoelace, crumpled ball of paper) instead of toys I buy from the store. I currently have about 4 old boxes in different rooms of the house which she absolutely loves to play with and I absolutely hate to look at. This is definitely something my cat would love to play in and I wouldn’t mind looking at or having on display around the home!!
January 29th, 2009 at 1:04 am
That might be the coolest cat thing ever!
January 29th, 2009 at 2:16 am
Awesome. And eco-friendly, too. Wow. Tiki and Mojito would /love/ this, and I could finally recycle all the ugly packing boxes they currently won’t let me get rid of.
January 29th, 2009 at 4:39 am
This looks like a paradise play place for several kittens to play!
January 29th, 2009 at 5:13 am
Pai Mei and I are always on the quest for lovely cat furniture.
January 29th, 2009 at 8:35 am
Combine cardboard boxes with holes and you have mega cat fun! Great idea.
January 29th, 2009 at 8:53 am
Luv it! Affordable, designed, and fun!
January 29th, 2009 at 8:55 am
This is fabulous, although I’m wondering if my big cat would tumble the whole thing down.
January 29th, 2009 at 10:31 am
I can totally see my kitties loving that!
January 29th, 2009 at 10:45 am
I like that it’s a green product of course.
January 29th, 2009 at 10:57 am
This would be quite an upgrade from the cardboard shipping box that currently serves as Lulu’s favorite spot!
January 29th, 2009 at 11:30 am
Great idea and design, and well priced. I really hate it when I see cute cat habitats but they cost a couple of hundred dollars. I love my cats, but I can’t spend a fortune on them, especially in this economy.
I’ll be ordering this as soon as my next paycheck comes in.
January 29th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
I love this idea! Green is the way to go, and this stylish cat house has it written all over it without the sticker labels my cat loves to eat!
January 29th, 2009 at 12:53 pm
I love that this gives a little chic quality to the normal cardboard box. My cat will always prefer being in the little cardboard box rather than a nice bed that we might get her, so this would be perfect. Something a little stylish that makes it look like aren’t just lax on throwing out trash!
January 29th, 2009 at 2:40 pm
my kitty would love this!
January 29th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
My poor cat doesn’t have a bed!! let’s hope to have some luck this time!
January 29th, 2009 at 5:21 pm
These are great … we all know that cats love paper bags an boxes better than anything. My gals would love to play with this.
