Here’s a chance to make your creativity pay off! The folks over at Caboodle want to see what you can do with their product. Caboodles are designed for customization — you can decorate them any way you want to match your style. So we’re asking you to get out your art supplies and show us what you’ve got!
There are three phases to this contest:
- ENTER TO WIN! We are giving away 20 FREE Caboodles here on Moderncat (these are the new and improved Caboodles). Leave a comment on this post to enter to win. Twenty winners will be chosen in a random drawing on September 30 and notified by email. Caboodles will be shipped right away so you can start decorating. (Due to shipping time, this portion of the contest is limited to addresses in the US and Canada.)
- DECORATE! Everyone will have until November 1 to customize your Caboodle and email photos to contest@caboodlecats.com. NOTE: You don’t have to be one of the 20 winners to enter! If you already have a Caboodle you can enter to win the grand prize! Just decorate it and send in your photos before the deadline.
- VOTE! The top designs will be chosen by the Caboodle team and posted on Moderncat then everyone will get to vote for their favorite design. Voting will be open from November 2 -7 and the top design will be announced on November 9. The winner will receive a $100 shopping spree at Puutty Power, your online resource for the most stylish products — for cats only!
This should be a fun contest and I’m guessing that we might even see some Halloween-themed Caboodles. We can’t wait to see what the Moderncat readers come up with!

September 28th, 2009 at 9:02 am
My cats would love these more than the boxes I bring home from Costco-lol.
September 28th, 2009 at 9:02 am
interesting to see how it would work out. my 2 sweet girly cats are like little army rangers with cardboard boxes. i will have to decorate via desert storm i think.
September 28th, 2009 at 9:02 am
These are so cute. My cats would LOVE them!
September 28th, 2009 at 9:03 am
cool, functional, and recyclable.
September 28th, 2009 at 9:05 am
Have been eyeing the Cat Caboodle for a while
I love the design, and I’m sure my kitties would too.
September 28th, 2009 at 9:05 am
Love the idea! Pick me!!!
September 28th, 2009 at 9:07 am
How great! My kitty and I love to do projects together!

The Caboodle is adorable, and I would love to decorate one. Awesome contest idea!
September 28th, 2009 at 9:14 am
Joey the red tabby would LOVE a kitty caboodle!
September 28th, 2009 at 9:15 am

Alice could use a new palace…
September 28th, 2009 at 9:16 am
So much fun!
September 28th, 2009 at 9:17 am
wow. i’m a different katy from the one who posted right before me. that’s kind of weird. anyway, i especially like the little holes in the boxes for the cats to bat their little paws out of.
September 28th, 2009 at 9:17 am
So cute! My cats would love it.
September 28th, 2009 at 9:23 am
This is great for all the ‘kids’–My cats would love to play in it and my son would love to decorate for them.
September 28th, 2009 at 9:25 am
Wow, I can already visualize how I would decorate this.
September 28th, 2009 at 9:25 am
Wow they look good and my cats would love them!
September 28th, 2009 at 9:26 am
I’d love to see if one of these could withstand my bunch.
September 28th, 2009 at 9:26 am
I’ve loved these since they were first posted. Mr Nugget loves to chew and artfully deconstruct cardboard. So decoration would be a collaborative process between the two of us.
Best, T
September 28th, 2009 at 9:27 am
I would love to be able to decorate with them. Such a fun idea
September 28th, 2009 at 9:28 am

How cute! No more leaving ugly boxes sit out just for the kitties who love ‘em!
September 28th, 2009 at 9:28 am
Cool!
September 28th, 2009 at 9:31 am
Cannot wait, I already have a design in mind.
September 28th, 2009 at 9:32 am
My Cats would go crazy for one of these, they love stuff like this!
September 28th, 2009 at 9:32 am
what a great contest, can’t wait to see what designs come out of this.
Very exciting
September 28th, 2009 at 9:32 am
I have a couple fat cats who may test the strength of this product (and some who are reasonably sized too mind you) but I’d love to give it a try!
September 28th, 2009 at 9:33 am
Oooo… pick me, pick me!! This looks like SUCH a fun contest!
September 28th, 2009 at 9:33 am
Thor the Cat might not fit but he’s willing to give it go. Plus he shreds cardboard in a very artistic style.
September 28th, 2009 at 9:34 am
What fun!! Kitty looks pretty snuggly in it too.
September 28th, 2009 at 9:34 am
That sure is purrdy.
September 28th, 2009 at 9:34 am
This would be the ultimate toy for my cats they love to hide in everything and scare each other.
September 28th, 2009 at 9:35 am

September 28th, 2009 at 9:36 am
What an excellent idea, Simba would love to sleep in one of those! Thanks for the fantastic giveaway!

September 28th, 2009 at 9:39 am
Great Contest! Hope I get a chance to decorate one…of course I’ll have lots of help from my “kids in fur”!!
September 28th, 2009 at 9:40 am
