Design: Cats and The Design Snobs Who Live With Them

By Noah Mallin

City dwellers like myself are more likely to have cats in our tiny apartments, but we are more likely to also be design snobs. So it makes us sad to see our nice furniture ripped to shreds by our clawed companions, and those carpet covered cat condos for them to sharpen on are pretty lame looking.

Modern Cat Designs has a line of sharp looking cat condos that are meant to be displayed as well as to have all four kitten paws splayed upon. They claim their padded scratching areas are just as much fun for cats as the standard carpeted ones you find in pet stores, and they certainly look a damn sight better.
