The Townhouse Your Park Slope Cat Deserves

I shamelessly love my cats and it makes me happy to spoil them. I imagine the same is true of most Park Slope residents with cats. Because that’s what people in Park Slope do: spoil the little creatures that depend on them for support. It just happens to be that the Kickstarter I’m about to talk about only really applies to cat owners. What Kickstarter is this? It’s the “Cat Townhouse!”

Brooklynites Dan Parkes and Jesse Levine designed the cat house to look like those lovely brownstones we see around the ‘hood but can’t necessarily own for ourselves. Which is fine by me, because I’m ok with giving my little cats that which I can’t have for myself. Obviously, it helps that town houses are shaped like boxes and cats fucking love boxes.  “Cats have an endless fascination with boxes,” says Jesse, “every time I get a package in the mail, my cat is immediately in there, before I can even take out the bubble wrap.  I thought, there has to be a way to make this better for both of us.”

The Cat Townhouse will also feature a scratcher base, because cats love scratching shit, and the rooftop fabric sounds like it will serve as a hammock of sorts. Cats fucking love hammocks. I know, because my cats have hammocks (even though I don’t). Basically, this sounds like something I’ll tell my wife about so she can buy it and then I can blame the spoiling of our cats on her.

If you have cats and would like to give them some serious Park Slope-style luxury living, check out the Kickstarter and throw in a few bucks -- they’ll thank you for it later.
