Kitt-In Box TM
From the Manhattan CollectionWe love our cats… and they seem to love walking across our keyboards! You can’t blame them, they just want to be near us. With the Kitt-In Box, cats have a place to rest that’s out of the way, but still an arm length’s away from a scratch on the belly.
The Kitt-In Box can attach to the side of a desk or be placed on top it. Felt pads protect the desk top. Cats are drawn to the soft cushion and the high walls, which are perfect for nesting. The Kitt-In Box can support a 20 lbs cat and even small dogs!

Do you know what’s wrong with the picture yet? It’s not that it’s just a crappy wooden box that you sit on your desk that someone’s trying to charge fifty bucks for and patent, or the pseudo-fanciness, or even the weird intentional floaty thing caused by the clamp.
It’s the idea that this will do any good.
Have these people ever owned a cat, or do they just think that they’ll make a bunch of money off people who just got a cat and don’t know anything at all about them? Because I’ve got a cat, and I happen to know for a fact that there is no fancy bullshit overpriced wood box that will keep that cat from laying on the keyboard — unless maybe you take that fancy bullshit overpriced wood box and mount it under the desk where the keyboard drawer should be…since you were stupid enough to not have the keyboard drawer on your fancy bullshit overpriced wood desk. Or you decided to take it off and make a special cat tray out of it.
Seriously, it’s not going to work like that. What’ll happen is the cat’s still laying on the keyboard, and the fifty dollar misplaced keyboard drawer is going to turn into a fancy, overpriced paper tray. You’d have better luck trying to trick the cat into sleeping on the spare keyboard you keep there just for the cat to sleep on…but I doubt it.
Save your money. Accept the catness of the cat. Or don’t. And by ‘don’t’, I mean ‘don’t have a cat’, or ‘don’t take the cat to your office’. Because cats just don’t work that way. They’re cats. They prefer bread [and hair] ties and those plastic things from milk bottles to expensive toys, and whatever you happen to be working on at the moment to any fancy bed.
YES YES YES YES YES!
Holy crap YES!
A shoebox would do just as good of a job for…well…free. That is, if your cat gives a damn about shoeboxes, which mine only do sometimes.
