cat people

Here is a link you should see.

It's worksafe, if modernist yuppie ostentation is safe at your place of work. For those who worry, this is a $600 walnut box you can put a litter box in so that it fits in with your other incredibly overpriced brown furniture.

To be clear. This is not a litterbox. It is a box that you put a litterbox in.

I just got a huge raise. Huge. Like some people make less annually than the raise I just got. So I make a pretty decent living now. I could maybe even afford this thing. So I just want to make one thing understood: If I ever spend $600 on a box to put another slightly uglier box inside, I want you to find me and beat me to death with a shovel. If you buy something like this, you are an asshole.

Congrats on the huge raise!

Boo to crazy yuppie cat people.

I just flipped through some huge, glossy Restoration Hardware catalogs that showed up at our new place, from the prior owners I assume. The oft-used phrase, "authentic, original, reproduction," and the price tags of said copies in the thousands was enough to send me into a rage...but the Collection of German Carnival Noses brought the whole thing to such a grand new level of absurd, I gave up my outrage and just moved them to the recycling bin.

The expression on the Sphynx in the picture really makes this ad priceless:

“Jeeves, I shall require privacy in my poopiterium. See to it, you knave.”

I went to a friend's house, and she had made something like this out of a hallway storage bench by cutting a hole in the side.

Her cats love it, and it only cost her $15 at a thrift store. She already had the jigsaw and sandpaper she used to make the hole.

...it's still just a box full of shit.

Awesome! Congrats on the raise! I suppose they finally gave you some recognition for the work you're doing. Well done!
