Everytime I go to the big international gift show here in New York, Ithink I'm going to find all sorts of new and inspirational gifts andhome accessories. And that I usually do. But, since I've become a crazy cat person, I've found myself more and more drawn to the newfangled pet goods.

Like this cardboard box, which has been designed to look like a log cabin(the company, Loyal Luxe, is based out of Canada). My cats, likeeveryone else's cats, go nuts for cardboard. I don't know why, butthey've never met an Amazon.com box that they didn't like, and so we'reconstantly relenting and letting them jam around in them until they'rea battered pulp--and more or less scattered across our apartment. Thisis a hilarious--and much more stylish--solution, no?
