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.

What kitty doesn’t love a box? It’s great that these are made of recycled materials and can be easily recycled once the kitties have had their fun.

So cuuuute!
January 27th, 2009 at 8:22 am
It’s so nice to know that mine is not the only house with boxes everywhere! The holes are a great addition and unlikely to be incorporated by UPS into their box design.
January 27th, 2009 at 8:22 am
Cats LOVE boxes. Our 6 girls would fight for the top box.
January 27th, 2009 at 8:23 am
My 3 kitties would love to have this great play space! climbing around, and jumping in and out, rolling around! One on each level! Plus, when they finish and are “over-it”, I am sure they would then enjoy chewing on the cardboard as well!! hahaha!!
January 27th, 2009 at 8:23 am
What a great contemporary update to old fruit boxes! And a perfect place for Mickey, Zoe and Juni to hide away in fun and environmentally correct style
January 27th, 2009 at 8:23 am
I love these. Perhaps my friend Fufi Arlington Skittlebrau III will stop destroying all my shoe boxes.
January 27th, 2009 at 8:24 am
perfect for a small apartment and they look lightweight — would make moving house a lot simpler!
January 27th, 2009 at 8:24 am
Very nice. My cats love boxes. I wrapped one box in Christmas paper to make it look nicer when sitting in the living room but one cat has claimed it for her own. It would be nice to have something for the other cat to enjoy. This would be a nice choice.
January 27th, 2009 at 8:24 am
I love this idea. My cat already uses a cardboard scratcher/lounger and it looks great in a modern home…so will this!
January 27th, 2009 at 8:24 am
Our three moderncats would love it!
January 27th, 2009 at 8:25 am
These are great! Who knew cardboard could look so good? My Muffin would love this!
January 27th, 2009 at 8:25 am
You know… I just might have to get one of these…
January 27th, 2009 at 8:25 am
I love it – my favourite part is that they made toys out of leftover bits from the manufacturing – great thinking!
The only down side is that they do not yet ship to Canada. Guess that means I have to win this giveaway.
January 27th, 2009 at 8:25 am
This is such a darling product! What cat wouldn’t be thrilled to have this “house” to play in !
January 27th, 2009 at 8:26 am
what cat doesn’t love boxes! this would look nice in any house. love it!
January 27th, 2009 at 8:26 am
my cat already is obsessed with boxes anyway, these would be much cuter than the lettuce box she sleeps in from sam’s!
January 27th, 2009 at 8:26 am
Finally! Someone has made a box that can live in my sitting room! (Because the kitties looooove a good cardboard box fort…)
January 27th, 2009 at 8:26 am
What is it about cats and cardboard? However, in her typically peevish pattern, Elizabeth ignores anything cardboard I make for her and prefers only cardboard I’m trying to get rid of!
January 27th, 2009 at 8:26 am
How cool and mod looking! My cats would adore such a fun play place since they love love love to play in any cardboard box they can find. This morning our Ms. Tildie was stealing the raisin bran cereal box straight from the recycling!
January 27th, 2009 at 8:26 am
My cat’s love boxes! Even little shoe boxes that their huge behinds don’t fit in. They would love Caboodle Cat Habitats, they’d be like little kids with a refrigerator box. They look cool too although just about anything beats those ugly carpet covered things they sell in commercial pet stores.
January 27th, 2009 at 8:26 am
Would love to win this for my cat…she needs some other diversions because she misses her playmate…Thanks for the opportunity.
January 27th, 2009 at 8:27 am
what a great design, and so glad they made it green! i love that this is simple and inexpensive–a fun toy with a great design that i can actually afford to buy my cat!
January 27th, 2009 at 8:27 am
Totally adorable! Millie and Alex would love it!
January 27th, 2009 at 8:28 am
What an awesome idea. Granted, we could do it ourselves with cardboard boxes, but I’m far too lazy for that.
January 27th, 2009 at 8:29 am
Brilliant in the simplicity- they should consider doing some additional colors or designs also!! (or make it reversible). Extra fun because they are stackable & reconfigurable & definitely not an eyesore! Kitties will universally love these!
January 27th, 2009 at 8:29 am
Such a simple, great idea. My girls would love this! I love the idea of having a light, easily recycled cat condo.
January 27th, 2009 at 8:29 am
What cat wouldn’t love this? I can see my 6 month old kitty having a ball!
January 27th, 2009 at 8:30 am
hrm. i have a feeling my cats would chew it to pieces within days, but it’s cute!
January 27th, 2009 at 8:30 am
Much more beautiful and stylish than my “under the dresser, cardboard box, with a hole cut out and a blankie”! What cat could resist?

This beats having left over holiday boxes around the house
January 27th, 2009 at 8:30 am
My cat Maggie would LOVE that!
January 27th, 2009 at 8:30 am
This is so cool. I especially like the fact that they are clean-lined and white! Fits right in with my modern home!
January 27th, 2009 at 8:32 am
Perfect! I foresee many cat-fights over who gets the top box.
January 27th, 2009 at 8:32 am
This is great, I can see my cats in there trying to be sneaky and poking their legs thru the holes to “get us” as we walk by them.
January 27th, 2009 at 8:32 am
So cute! I also have a cat that is obsessed with boxes. It’s so simple yet so brilliant!
January 27th, 2009 at 8:33 am
Perfect! My cats love cardboard, but even more, they love anything they can call a bed. This is way better than a regular box.
January 27th, 2009 at 8:33 am
Cats enjoy novelty, a change of habitat, a challenge. I think this is an excellent idea, something my cat Casey would enjoy exploring, claiming for his own.
January 27th, 2009 at 8:33 am
This is a serious upgrade from the rotating cast of cardboard boxes my cats enjoy. I’ve also been looking for a climbing/lounging structure with levels that is affordable.
January 27th, 2009 at 8:33 am
This is a fab creation, there’s a spot for each of my three feline housemates. I can already imagine them exploring and finding their favorite new cubby!
January 27th, 2009 at 8:34 am
I would feel so much better about them chewing green than the non-green cardboard they seem to somehow always find now!
January 27th, 2009 at 8:34 am
I love this – I have a fear of commitment to the “furniture” type cat trees. This would be perfect, they have their fun and if I get tired of it I won’t have to have the trash company haul it away -I can recycle it!
January 27th, 2009 at 8:35 am
my three cats *love, love, love* corrugated cardboard. i have visions of them going nuts in this thing. (especially if i tossed in a couple of catnip toys!) it’s a pretty good size, unlike some which just seem to small for cats to climb through. i do have funny visions of their scratching it to death, but that would definitely be after they use it as a little house.
January 27th, 2009 at 8:35 am
That is just so cute. My kitties would love it. They are always
jumping in boxes and hanging around in them but they hate it
when I take boxes away. These would be great to have since
they look good and also a “green concept”.
January 27th, 2009 at 8:36 am
I think Caboodle came up with a great idea. I wish I had one, myself! (the boxes, not an idea).
January 27th, 2009 at 8:36 am
Ooh La La! My kitties would simply love this hang out. There are places to people watch and cardboard balls to swat!!
January 27th, 2009 at 8:37 am
omigod it’s like the package boxes but with peepholes and cuter! my cats LOVE boxes…
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
January 27th, 2009 at 8:37 am
Love it! My boys would be right at home. They love boxes; whether they fit in them or not, they always try to make them a nest.
January 27th, 2009 at 8:37 am
Oh my gosh, that is insanely cute. My cats would love those. It sure beats the makeshift one I made out of two regular cardboard boxes with holes punched in them.
January 27th, 2009 at 8:38 am
More fun than boxes, and hopefully slightly more durable – our male tabby enjoys chewing them apart…
