Here’s a fun new product that lets you create a customized climbing structure for your cats. It’s the Catty Stacks, designer cat house system. These super strong corrugated cardboard boxes can be connected in three dimensions to create all sorts of configurations for climbing, perching, playing, napping, and hiding. The nice folks at Catty Stacks sent us a set to test out and they were an instant hit. Here are Simba and Dee checking out the new play station:
The boxes ship flat and are really easy to set-up, just unfold and insert some tabs into slots and you’re ready to go. The special corner design allows you to clip the boxes together (clips are included) to create a nice sturdy structure. Once the boxes are clipped together, you can lift the whole stack to move it (just make sure there aren’t any cats inside!)
Holes on the side of the boxes allow kitties to enter and exit and connect from one box to the next. When two boxes are clipped together, you can remove a larger portion of the side panel to create a more spacious inner lounge area. When boxes are stacked on top of each other, the vertical access holes are staggered, making it easy for kitty to get her footing as she climbs up through the boxes. The thing I’m most impressed with is the strength of the double thickness cardboard. This is some of the strongest cardboard I’ve seen, so the Catty Stacks should last a long time.
There are a number of accessories you can purchase as add-ons for your Catty Stacks, including a crawl tube that connects between two boxes, special felt pillows for extra comfort, and an animation wand that connects easily to one of the accessory points and has a clip on the end to attach kitty’s favorite toy. Here’s Theo getting ready to attack the dangling toy:
The boxes come in light pink, chocolate brown, sky blue, pistachio green, and white, all printed with 100% soy-based inks. The cardboard used is also 100% recycled and recyclable. You can choose any combination of colors when ordering the boxes in kits ranging from one box for $17.99 US, to ten boxes for $129.99 US.

I would LOVE to donate these to a local rescue!!
July 7th, 2010 at 4:34 am
OMG! I would love to have this, my Patches demands we keep old boxes around the floor for him to play fort in. This would be so much more lovely to watch him destroy.

These would look a lot nicer than the cardboard kitty castles I build them out of misc boxes. My kittyboys would love them.
July 7th, 2010 at 10:55 am
This is so very cool! And the colors would match my dining room and living so well! My baby furries already own the house, so this would give them more play areas to crawl through and investigate. They, like most cats I have encountered LOVE cardboard…..this is a super idea!
July 7th, 2010 at 11:20 am
My cats go crazy for any type of boxes… they would adore these!
July 7th, 2010 at 11:30 am
Sooooo Cooool…Fun for me and the kitties. Love all the colors.
July 7th, 2010 at 11:31 am
PLEASE-PLEASE-PLEASE….I want these…signed…the kitty
July 7th, 2010 at 11:51 am
A very unique product. My 11 cats would just love to play hide-and-seek in these. Looks like fun.
July 7th, 2010 at 11:56 am
Sure would be nice if my kitties won this. They’d have so much fun.

July 7th, 2010 at 1:28 pm
Wow, those are awesome! Why didn’t someone think of this sooner!
July 7th, 2010 at 1:39 pm
Maybe cats will quit sleeping in my briefcase if they have boxes of their own!
July 7th, 2010 at 2:21 pm
My cat is a box-a-holic, she would LOVE LOVE LOVE these. Great colors, what a wonderful idea!!
July 7th, 2010 at 3:00 pm

The proper equipment to build a Cat Labyrinth. The cat will of course be the Minotaur.
July 7th, 2010 at 4:14 pm
Oh, I would LOVE this! And so would my babycat!
July 7th, 2010 at 4:59 pm
This is one of the best ideas I’ve seen in awhile. Low cost, sturdy and ecologicaly friendly. What’s not to like. Sure is better looking than all those grocery boxes we bring home.
July 7th, 2010 at 5:27 pm
Catty Stacks rocks the universe! My black tabby Hendrix would really dig it
July 7th, 2010 at 6:44 pm
I have 9 indoor cats, with claws intact, and a brand new sectional sofa….the cats have been banned from the new sofa, but they need something to compensate for the insult and injury suffered! Wonder if these would do the trick?
