There are two universal facts about cats that any cat owner knows: cats have an unexplainable fascination for cardboard boxes, and cats possess a level of confidence that allows them to walk around your home as if they expect to be treated like gods.

Now, there’s a new product in Japan that reinforces these two facts. Simply called the Cat Shrine House, the press release for this cardboard creation states that it was designed by a “cat-loving architect”. Its design takes inspiration from the typical appearance of a Japanese Shinto shrine.

Shrines usually have a large, round bell called suzu (鈴) that hang atop shrine entrances. This was recreated at a much smaller scale with two bells at the box’s “entrance”.

It also copies the tiled roofs of shrines and the fusuma (ふすま), or sliding doors. Owners can assemble a “shrine donation box”, which in all honesty, cats would likely prefer to be turned into a box for treats instead. Overall, the Cat Shrine House stands at 58 cm (~22 in) tall and 64 cm (~25 in) wide.

The crowdfunding campaign for the cat house was announced on November 17, 2020, and within 24 hours, organizers were able to reach their 500,000 yen goal. With a pledge of 4,840 yen, backers receive a basic shrine house for their cat. There are currently 6 different tiers in the campaign, and delivery is expected between mid to late December 2020.
