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.

Such a cute and fun hidey box and scratching box! My 6 furry friends would love it!
July 9th, 2012 at 2:10 pm
It looks so exciting for kitties and my kitty Nyx is a total Corrugated Cardboard addict.
She has one or 2 in every room she loves to be in. it keeps her happy and it’s a great way for a hide and attack game. I spoil her with these cardboard things because she can not go outside and I feel sorry for her. If she would win this she definitely be in Cardboard heaven!
July 9th, 2012 at 2:12 pm
Cat magnet, green and sustainable….what more can you ask? did I say cat magnet? Cats love cardboard!

July 9th, 2012 at 2:18 pm
Smokey would just LOVE to have a couple of these blocks to play in/on. He especially would love digging his claws all over these great blocks.
July 9th, 2012 at 2:19 pm
nice!
July 9th, 2012 at 2:20 pm
My cat’s would adore this! They already love it when I get a package and will start sharpening their claws on it if I don’t put it up high.
July 9th, 2012 at 2:20 pm
The common cardboard box gone classy – very nice. Think I’d need one apiece, my 5 felines are not good at sharing…
July 9th, 2012 at 2:25 pm
Do they make one big enough for parents to play in, please?
July 9th, 2012 at 2:25 pm
My kitties would absolutely love this–They always need more stimulation around here.
July 9th, 2012 at 2:26 pm
Both me and my cat would love these. I’m trying to ween her off using the sofa as a cat scratcher.
July 9th, 2012 at 2:26 pm
I could see my three cats fighting over one of these…
July 9th, 2012 at 2:27 pm
Awesome! The kitties would LOVE to give this a try!
