Get ready to blast off into space when you see this! It’s a new modern cat hideaway from London-based cat furniture design studio Cats&Pods. This is the first piece in their line of modern cat furniture. Made of birch plywood and lined with soft felt, The Crash Pad looks like a futuristic kitty dream house. Incredible craftsmanship and attention to details make this a beautiful piece of furniture for both you and kitty to enjoy.
The Crash Pad measures about 19.5 inches wide by about 14 inches tall. The opening is just under 8 inches wide. They say it is “suitable for a healthy cat of modest proportions.” The Crash Pad is available for sale at Lik+Neon in London or you can purchase it directly from the Cats&Pods Etsy shop for $200 USD. (There’s only one listed right now, so you may have to convo them for more.)
Thanks to Jenna for the find!

I am laughing because once when Cody had to wear the “Cone Of Shame” we called him “Space Boy!!!”
OMG does he ever need this!

When I first saw this novel cat house I thought,”I can haz bucky ball?”
I love the influence of Buckminster Fuller in modern pet accessory design!

I think The Crash Pad is very cool looking! I like how the entry hole isn’t right on the ground but up a little. Cats would love this. Can’t wait to see what other designs they come up with.

WoW!! what a fantastic looking concept. So cool that I wish I could fit in one of those at time. Sort of like a Monday morning thing – out of site out – of mind concept!! Gotta check into this more (for the cats – not me) LOL

I like this. It is sturdy and could be used for a small table by your modern chair, and kitty could be near you but still be in a hidey hole. Great for when those strangers come to visit.
