Awesome Cats

This goofy 3D printed desk lamp is described by its creator Hellgy as “a lamp to look like your cat when your cat is looking like a lamp.” You can grab the STL files for the cat cone of shame lamp on Printables and buy the required LED lamp kit from Bambu Lab. Now, we need a version for dog people.

Cat people, put on your boogie shoes and get down tonight with this handmade disco ball sculpture shaped like a kitty. Handmade by DiscoHeads, the sparkly silver cat is covered with hundreds of hand-glued mirror tiles, turning any room into a feline Studio 54. Get out the laser pointers – this disco kitty is ready to party.

Lady Luck? More like Kitty Luck. This silly cat scratch toy from SuckUK looks like a roulette wheel from The Cosmopawlitian Casino. It even spins like the real deal and comes with a jingling ball for your kitties to play with. Place your bets on how long the cardboard layers will last before your kitties rip it to shreds.

We’ve seen a LEGO machine that could make pancakes, so the idea of a brick-built cake bakery isn’t that far-fetched. But Tomosteen made their LEGO cake factory using stop-motion animation. The fanciful facility is run by a team of tiny cats, who surprisingly don’t lap up the batter before it can be baked in the LEGO brick oven.

While its cute exterior is definitely not for eveyrone, Ingrem’s cat-shaped powered recliner is packed with features that make it a great gaming and relaxation companion. The entire body is filled with memory foam and covered in fleece. It reclines up to 132° and rotates freely on its rocker. It also has a built-in control panel, charging ports, and phone mount.

(PG-13: Gore/Language) This AI-generated fan film by Mean Orange Cat pays tribute to Ridley Scott’s 1979 sci-fi classic, Alien. Like the original, a spaceship’s crew investigates a mysterious signal, exposing them to a horrific and deadly species. They did a great job capturing the film’s spirit while adding a fun new spin with the animals. (Thanks, Rob!)

This feature-length animated film by Latvian filmmaker Gints Zilbalodis follows the story of a cat whose home has been destroyed by a massive flood and must find its way through the world with the help of an unlikely group of animal companions. Unlike other animated movies, there’s zero dialogue. It relies solely on artful imagery and sound to tell its tale.

North of the Border imagines what would happen if Garfield the Cat was infected with the shape-shifting organism that took over in John Carpenter’s The Thing. The mutated feline has loads of pointy teeth, dozens of tiny tentacles, and four gangly arms ready to grab lasagna and toss it into its horrifying mouth-stomach.

Artist Chet Phillips is back with more wonderfully illustrated playing cards. His latest deck is a must-have for any cat lover. These unique cards feature 58 kitties inspired by pop culture, historical figures, and other colorful characters. Some of our faves are Frida Khalico, Catsquatch, and Cathulhu. There’s an original image on every card, not just the face cards.

Many inventions make you wonder how their creator came up with them. That’s not the case with Scott Salzman’s Desk Nest Cat Bed. It’s very clearly a cat bed stuck to a monitor arm. Can you make your own for half the price? If you have the skills, absolutely. But for everyone else, this might keep kitty off your keyboard. The bed rotates 360° and holds 25 lb.

After looking at his house cat, artist Bobby Duke was inspired to sculpt a model of a feline skull out of an 8-ball. Rather than going with the domesticated model, he transported back to prehistoric times and crafted a sabertooth cat skull. Coincidentally, Bobby used tools from Saburrtooth to carve the sculpture. He ended up making its teeth out of a cue ball.

These beautiful playing cards from Neversleep Co feature imagery of cats dressed in samurai armor. Each face card illustrates a different feline warrior, equipped with swords and other accessories surrounded by flourishes. The number cards have unique geometric patterns. Add-ons include poker chips, enamel pins, and a red deck as a stretch goal.

Every cat can be Keyboard Cat with this synthesizer cat scratcher from Suck UK. The Mog Sub Catty Feline Synthesizer features a large cardboard scratching surface in place of keys, along with a pitch/mod ball for kitty to bat at. Buy a bunch, and let your kitty pretend to be this guy.

If the internet is to be believed, kitty cats are cute furballs who like to knock things off of tables and star in memes. WVW’s educational video shows us the truth, revealing the never-before-seen inner-workings of a feline. They’ve also posted a How a Bird Works video.

OwlKitty is back with another laugh-out-loud movie edit. This time around, the photogenic cat is stealing scenes from Barbie and taking her rightful place alongside Ken. This also makes us wonder if there’s a Weird OwlKitty – and we’re not talking about Blissa.

The Kiffness has made a career out of turning silly animal sounds into songs. This time, he started with footage of an orange tabby making noises that vaguely sound like a human with a mouth full of gauze. But once The Kiff added his music and vocals, it all makes perfect sense to us.
