Japan now has a special desk for people who work at home with a pet cat[Photos]

The Neko House Desk understands who’s really in charge of your home, and helps you convince them to let you have some space too.

This looks like an excellent way to ensure the cat ignores the desk while you accidentally drop everything through that hole. No notes. 
@CharlieMcHenry @cstross Of course, if you *tell* your cats it’s for them, they’ll refuse to use it.
@michaelgemar @CharlieMcHenry @cstross It's obviously fake. There's no cat lying on the laptop keyboard in any of the 'photos'.
@CharlieMcHenry clearly they don't understand cats. The picture should be of the cats lounging in the chair and the human crammed awkwardly into the desk compartment @restlesshead

@CharlieMcHenry

Genius! My cats would be so down with that. They would probably take it over and charge me a monthly fee to use it.

@CharlieMcHenry Whenever I design furniture, I always include a catshelf. I'm sad that catshelf is not a valid word in my spellcheck.
@CharlieMcHenry ... I had such desks before... but it was for PC cases not for cats. Good way to recycle those 😅

@CharlieMcHenry

Love this! I'm in Japan. Now if only I had some cats, and a desk, and a house. 😂

@CharlieMcHenry it’s completely misdesigned!

While crawl space is welcome, cats also need to have the highest point in the room, so I was expecting some over-head construction as well.
