r/CatTrees

A year ago, it struck me that my kitty chases the warmth like no other. As soon as I get up from the couch or chair, he's zoomed in to grab the spot. We have dozens of trees, beds, blankets and soft spaces to lounge in - but he will bask on the floor in the places the sun shines on the ground through the window.

I got obsessed and decided to build the little kitty an automatic heated cat tree -> a cat tree where the perches are heated and the heating turns on as soon as the little kitty sits on the tree. He has loved it - and doesn't want to sit anywhere else. Over time, I added a few more bells and whistles to the tree e.g. a safety mechanism to prevent over-heating where the machine cycles on and off regularly.

My friends know that I've always had an entrepreneurial itch and have pushed me to make this a business - where I try to sell the product online. I got encouraged enough to build a website, think of some branding and start looking at how I can produce this product at scale. I'm nervous and not ready to give it a real go. Would love feedback before I pull the trigger.
