Handcrafted Cabinet Opens to Reveal a Pawsome Paradise for Your Favorite Feline

As discerning pet parents know, it can be a challenge to find stylish furniture that will benefit your furry friend, too. The Cat Flat is a solution to this problem; it’s a contemporary cabinet that’s both beautifully designed and geared towards the 10 necessities that felines need to be happy: scratching, cleaning, surveying territory, playing, sleeping, hunting, spying, discovery, and social connection. All of these things can be hard to achieve—especially if you and your kitty live in an apartment—but this single piece can do it all.
The Cat Flat is a collaboration between feline psychologist Susanne Hellman Holmström and interior designer Eleonor Moschevitz. From the outside, the wooden cabinet looks like a piece that would hold extra plates or blankets. But open its walnut veneer doors, clad in vertical and horizontal slats, and you’ll find that any shelving gives way to the whims of your feline. The three levels feature plenty of sisel to scratch, places to enter and exit, and soft spaces for comfortable napping. And because it is all contained behind the cabinet doors, your home is free of clutter and unsightly cat towers.
“To create a design piece for a cat has been a challenging task, due to the fact that an ordinary piece of cat furniture usually is quite tasteless,” Moschevitz said of the project. “But to open the doors of the cabinet and watch the cats explore every corner and every passageway of it, really makes it worth it.”
The Cat Flat is currently in the concept stages. To learn about when and how it will be available, bookmark their page on 24Storage.

Indoor Cat Towers Made From Real Trees Provide a Lifelike Outdoor Experience for Feline Friends

Despite being called “cat trees,” most indoor, multi-level scratchers don’t look anything like forest foliage. That’s until Shelley and Joe DelRocco stepped in. The Florida-based husband and wife duo create custom pet tree houses handcrafted from real trees and embellished with silk leaves. Each piece provides a life-like, outdoor experience for our feline friends—and they also make aesthetically-pleasing house plants (that you’ll never have to water).
Combining their love of animals with Joe’s experience in building custom homes, the DelRoccos made their first pet tree house for their own cats in 2008. Their home business soon grew, and today they sell their designs to cat owners all over the U.S. and beyond. Together, they are constantly striving to improve their designs, with the aim to provide the most lifelike natural environment for cats to enjoy indoors.
“Our real cat tree with leaves is designed to focus on your cat’s true nature, bringing out your cat’s primal instincts,” say the DelRoccos. “This method helps reduce captive stress and encourages your cat to stretch and scratch on the gnarled branches, bark, lichen and all.” It’s clear to see just how much cats enjoy their new indoor trees—the PetTreeHouses product photos show various fluffy friends playing, sleeping, and hiding among the silk foliage.
If you know a kitty that would love a real cat tree, you can order one of the PetTreeHouses on Etsy.

“Just a by the by: “private” messages sent to individual people during a Zoom meeting show up in the end-of-meeting transcript along with all other public messages. Tell your friends, save a life.“
Honestly my partner has a lot of friends in the infosec community and they’ve all been lamenting the rise of Zoom because this is only ONE of very, very many reasons Zoom is an absolute security/privacy nightmare.
Zoom has a for bosses option to see if you aren’t paying attention called the “Attendee Attention Tracking” option
Zoom has sold people’s personal information to facebook even if you don’t have an account. A quick look though their terms of service shows this was never mentioned. They are being sued over it now.
Also just a personal thing I’ve noticed. IT IS TOO EASY TO HIJACK A ZOOM MEETING. GUESSING A ZOOM ID IS WAY TOO EASY
