I built my cat her own Tabletop arcade

I always thought cat furniture was ugly and bulky, and it never really fit my niche. I like games, collectibles, comics, and all that kind of stuff. The design always felt like a compromise—and an expensive one, too.

I went through several iterations, experimenting with different sizes, before landing on this one.

Once I started working on the final version, I got help from a friend who's a furniture maker specializing in custom furniture. He helped refine the design so it could be CNC-machined. That way, all the assembly holes are hidden beneath the sisal.

The joystick (not shown in this picture) is actually a spring wrapped in sisal, so it can survive being battered by our mildly aggressive cat.

Apparently, my cat needed the cabinet more than I did.

I wanted cat furniture I'd actually want to display in my living room.
