I’m very excited to finally share this brand new cat product with you! You might have spotted it in the Catification Lounge, or if you’ve been following the Moderncat Facebook page, you could have seen some Instagram pix of my cats giving it a test drive (they sent us one a while ago as an early introduction). Well, the time has finally come to make the official announcement! Introducing the Kittyblock, and I have two words for you — CAT MAGNET!
This sturdy 15″ cube of corrugated cardboard is kitty’s dream come true! It’s great for perching on top or hiding inside. The inside opening measures 10″ x 10″ x 15″, perfect for napping or scratching on all four interior surfaces. The Kittyblocks can be stacked two high for more climbing possibilities (the manufacturer doesn’t recommend going any higher than that.) Once one side starts to show wear, flip it over for more scratching action. When it’s really finished, the whole thing can be recycled.
Kittyblocks are made in America from corrugated fiberboard and starch-based adhesives. Each one is hand cut, so there might be slight variations. The simple form is perfect in a modern home and shows off the material beautifully. Kittyblocks are now available for pre-order at myKittyblock.com for $34.95 plus shipping. The first Kittyblocks will ship August 1, 2012. (Kittyblocks will only be shipping to US addresses in August.)
Ratso and Andy checking out the Kittyblock immediately after it was removed from the box.
