Introducing: Akemi Tanaka's Curve Wall Mounted Pet Bed.
It holds up to 45 pounds (meaning it works for small dogs, too), comes in a variety of wood finishes and fabric options, and is $199 at Supermarket.
Seriously, I don't know how our cats have survived without this.
And speaking of pets, have you all seen this video? Apologies if it's old news, but I just discovered it yesterday and think it's absolutely amazing. I mean, really -- who needs kids when you can train your dog to do this?
If you're into cat- or dog rescue -- or simply are an animal lover -- check out this video my brother-in-law made about an amazing, no-kill animal sanctuary called Cat House on the Kings. So inspiring.
Now, before you go and accuse me of being coldhearted or immune to the charms of our fine furry companions, know this: I adore my two cats, I honestly do.
But if you're even a little bit tempted to put this $445, 6.5-foot-squared monstrosity in your home, I think maybe you have a small cat problem.
It's a slippery slope, my friend. Today, you kindheartedly purchase the Cat Castle for the enjoyment of your beloved furkids -- maybe getting rid of some piece of extraneous furniture like the couch or your bed to make room for it. Next year, the neighbors are twittering about you while rolling their eyes and whispering "crazy cat lady" to each other. And in a decade or so, an anonymous call to the Humane Society leads to a citation for keeping 156 felines in a urine-soaked hovel and a plea-bargain agreement involving mandatory psychological counseling.
So just don't, OK?
P.S. Here's a photo illustration from my brother- and sister-in-law, to whom this post was not so subtly aimed (and yes, they're the same ones who recently shared on this very blog the Photoshopped silhouette portraits featuring their four rescued felines). It shows how the Cat Castle might look in their little Silver Lake bungalow, and was accompanied by this note:
"Thanks ever so for steering us to the Cat Castle. Don't know how we ever got along without it! Besides, who needs access to the front door? It's fun climbing in and out through the window."
Very funny guys -- but I wouldn't put it past you.
Because I know you need a little end-of-week pick-me-up, because it made my coffee come flying out of my nose the first time I saw it, and because "stuff + cats = awesome," I hereby present to you: Stuff on My Cat.
And don't miss the Stuff on My Cat Store, where you can load up on official SOMC merch like books, calendars, t-shirts, and notecards.

Enjoy!
