Lounging Feline Tables

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The CATable is a Functional Table and a Place for Cats to Explore

— April 22, 2014 — Lifestyle
Cat lovers will adore the functionality of designer Ruan Hao's CATable, a table made for the day-to-day life of cats and humans. The CATable is an ingeniously designed, hollowed-out table that cats can play inside of that can also be used as an everyday table surface.

Ruan Hao's CATable is perfect for cat lovers. Unlike conventional flat-top tables, the CATable is a hollowed-out piece of wood filled with expertly placed holes. The inner holes and tunnels create the ideal cat play area for kittens to explore or curl up inside to take a nap. The top of the table is flat, allowing the surface to be used for cooking, eating and other daily tasks. The minimalist and sleek design of the CATable makes it a stylish addition to any home's decor.
