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.

You might not have to wait until August to get your hands on a Kittyblock! One lucky reader is going to receive a Kittyblock for free! To enter, please leave a comment on this post. The winner will be chosen in a random drawing and announced on July 16, 2012. One entry per person. This giveaway is open to readers everywhere!

I absolutely LOVE this kittyblock. Way better than letting our cat play with discarded boxes. Such an upscale replacement for what really is his favorite toy to play with.

9 rescues here would love this! Thank you for the chance to have this!
July 18th, 2012 at 7:31 am
I do cat rescue, on my own, out of my home, and I can guarantee you that is would most definitely be put to good use by many wonderful kitties looking for their furever homes, as well as my own personal kitties. The only thing is that they would love it so much, that I would need to buy stock in the company to make sure & have enough money to cover the cost… lol
Thanks so much for making such a wonderful product and for the opportunity to win it.

Really cool looking scratching posts. I’m afraid to ask how much they are.
July 18th, 2012 at 1:56 pm
such a simple, unique idea! it looks like something someone can make at home (not me though, i`de end up creating something ridiculous), but I know my cats so well.. they would ADORE this thing! It`s cute, and i bet if i put just a little cat nip in there it will be heaven for the babies.

What fun, I’m in a cubicle all day, and now my cats can be too! But I’m sure they will have more fun in theirs!

Pick me! Hobbes had part of a parathyroid removed last year (something cats never get, my vets said) plus when he had surgery this year, we think he was nicked and air got under his skin so he sounds like a crinkle ball. He could really use a nice relaxing place to nap.
July 21st, 2012 at 1:59 pm
Kitties would love to enjoy this!
July 21st, 2012 at 3:29 pm
This would be great for my three cats.

Very cool idea. Would love to see how the kitties respond.
July 24th, 2012 at 5:33 pm
I think our cat would love it, but much more if she had someone to chase through it. I think I’ll have to go try to convince my wife about that second cat!
July 28th, 2012 at 5:05 pm
