Modern Cat Box

A recent e-mail from the folks at DWR (Design Within Reach) featured a link to a site with modern furniture for cats. Admittedly this cat box, called the Kattbank, is fantastic and looks great. It is everything a modern piece is supposed to be - functional, stylish, costly. But holy Christ, people buying this cat box -- prices ranging from $1,750-$2,220 -- must have a helluva lot more disposable income than we do. I figure when we win that $195 million dollar Powerball jackpot we might consider such a purchase. Until that time, we'll just have to be happy with our (approximately) $20 traditional cat box that is everything a traditional cat box is supposed to be - functional, ugly, cheap.

You gotta admire the thought that went into this creation, though. Check out just one of four of the features illustrated on the web site - this one highlights the grid that helps extract cat litter from your pet's paws. The captured litter particles are held in a removable tray that can be emptied at your convenience. Nice.
