We’ve never actually had a cat at home, but chances are, like all other pets, you’ve got to feed them, fawn over them, offer them prime position on your sofa/bed, and just take care of them in general — better care than our office succulents ever received anyway, which explains their wilted condition. So from the perspective of a non-expert, all that is too much trouble for the returns of, say, soft purrs and a snuggly belly, until we laid eyes on this beauty.
We’d gladly be cat ladies here. These cuties are made from Lego-style bricks, by a Hong Kong-based building block company called JECKA, meaning you can build your cats and never have to (really) care for them anymore. They may be static figures — made using a special locking technology that you have to assemble yourself with the help of a manual — but each package gets you a pretty life-like kitty in various natural positions; a ginger cat pads lightly on your corner console, while another one could be stretching out on your bedside table.
You can even have a tuxedo cat stretching out its paw for your visitors, which makes each cat ten times more tame than any you’ll ever have. There are currently 32 models sold on their website, each at about $100 (not inclusive of shipping), and with one kit yielding at least 1,300 bricks, you should be quite occupied with your new pet. If you’re somehow not a cat lover, don’t fret because they do have other animals on their site too, including dogs (that corgi!) and birds — no animals were harmed as part of this venture of course, as far as we know, but your wallets will certainly be.
