Take your love for cats to the extreme with an oversized cat couch. The cat couch has no back or arms, and lays exactly how you're used to your cat laying.
This couch was initially an art installation for Belgian design studio Unfold in Luchtbal, Antwerp. His name and the installation are known as Felis Domesticus (which translates to House Cat) and he is made out of felt. This couch reaches widths of 3.5 meters and would be ideal for spacious apartments and even bedrooms. This is only one of five feline themed exhibitions; be prepared for some crazy cat celebrations.
Imagine cozying up to your cat without getting fur all over your clothes without your cat leaving after half a second. Although there is no back or arms, the legs and arms can flop around to fit your cat napping positions.
