The rent for bougie cat condos is too damn high in Japan.
An artisanal cat tower called Modern Cat Tree NEKO is now on the Japanese market for about $9,570 plus tax, according to Quartzy.
The cylindrical perch is made of Japanese oak, beech and maple, Scandinavian fabric and Greek marble with a hemp rope-lined scratching post and was handcrafted by designer Yoh Komiyama and produced by the lifestyle brand Rinn.
The marble base, the company says, is meant to cool the cat’s body, because, wow, do cats have it rough these days!
As if spending $9,570 on a designer hangout for an animal that probably doesn’t even like you anyway isn’t enough, Rinn also gives cat-lady consumers the chance to buy minimalist cat accessories such as automatic feeders and ceramic water bowls. The brand also publishes a cat lifestyle magazine called Mill, which is sadly not the only cat lifestyle magazine out there.
According to Quartzy, three cat enthusiasts have already forked over the cash for this cushy cat perch. Like any luxury item, they’re only selling a limited amount — 22 — this year. Better move fast, losers.
