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.

My kitties don’t have a cardboard scratcher yet, I would be interested to see what they would do with this!
July 13th, 2012 at 9:25 am
Oh my oh my. Scooter our cat would have a ball with this! And, maybe we can save my staff person’s favorite comfy chair, too.
July 13th, 2012 at 9:35 am
This is super cool for the Eco-friendly kitty owner
July 13th, 2012 at 10:54 am
There is nothing Peaches loves so much as corrugated lounging places and this looks like corrugated heaven.
July 13th, 2012 at 12:06 pm
Oh please count us in! I have many kitties who need occupying…
July 13th, 2012 at 12:46 pm

My Sophia loves hiding places so I know she would love the Kittyblock!!
July 13th, 2012 at 7:09 pm
My cat’s part maine coon, part siamese, and all bad ass. He’d love one of those.
July 13th, 2012 at 11:32 pm

July 14th, 2012 at 5:50 am
Aero says this is purrfect! And I like the brown color matches the decor
July 14th, 2012 at 8:37 am
These look great, I’d love one
July 14th, 2012 at 9:06 am
Cat magnet is right! I would be tickled to see my two elder cats with opposite personalities together on this block.
July 14th, 2012 at 9:09 am
I have 3 cats who all currently sit in cardboard boxes. This would be their idea of purrfection to sleep and lay upon. Plus it would look a lot nicer than all those boxes!
July 14th, 2012 at 9:17 am
I have 3 cats who all currently lie about in cardboard boxes on our dining room floor. This would be their idea of perfection to sleep and lie upon! Plus, it would look much nicer than the cardboard boxes!
July 14th, 2012 at 10:26 am
hmm. . . yes, I think this would be a hit with my furry trio! I am actually on the hunt for something special,a nice horizontal scratcher for my kitty Simone who is bullying the top of our couch. This looks like the perfect thing to redirect her to!
July 14th, 2012 at 10:59 am
This would be great for my kitties!
July 14th, 2012 at 11:11 am
Twenty of these in my house would not be too many. What a great idea!
July 14th, 2012 at 1:43 pm
My cats would go wild for this
July 14th, 2012 at 1:49 pm
“Cat”ching up on email–hope I’m not to late to be in the drawing!
July 14th, 2012 at 2:04 pm
Our two cats would love this! Although one of them may be more interested in eating it than scratching on it!
July 14th, 2012 at 3:15 pm
It is worth a try
July 14th, 2012 at 3:50 pm
My pet Peeve would love to have this!
July 14th, 2012 at 4:43 pm
My 4 would fight to be the cat who gets to use this. What an awesome product.
July 14th, 2012 at 4:59 pm
Wow! These are nice! Muffin could have so much fun with this block!
July 14th, 2012 at 5:55 pm
