Yamaha Design Labs joins forces with Yamaha Motors to create a series of unique designs that push forward in the realm of cat accessories including a special Cat Music Box. There are three products in total and leading it is the music box, which reimagines the classic exercise wheel.
When feline friends are going on a jog, the wheels spring into action and create musical tines that match the cat's pace. Another notable product is the Strumming Box, which uses scratching boards that encourage the cat's natural instinct and uncover new colors and layers of special artwork. The last product is the Neko-Yama, which is a clear playground that is packed with holes, bulges, and tunnels.
