Your cat can now own its own Tesla?!

Welcome to issue #14 of Chumka’s Weekly!

Hello there furriend and happy Caturday! I am writing this on Wednesday, August 23rd, and it’s the first time in about 5 days that we can see some blue skies. The gentle winds blew the smoke away, but didn’t aggravate the fires - hoping it will stay that way😌

Tesla designed a cardboard cybertruck for cats

This is the strangest thing I’ve seen in a LONG time. Apparently Tesla released a cardboard litterbox inspired by their Tesla Cybertruck…

Now the weird thing is - it’s supposed to be a litterbox and scratching post/ bed IN ONE? It’s also 15lbs?!

Here are some more details listed on the site:

“Cybertruck has a futuristic shape, a semi-open cat litter, and thick corrugated paper embedded inside to meet the nature and daily needs of cats.

Material of this product: 3 layers of moisture-proof corrugated paper, 5 layers of moisture-proof corrugated paper
Scratch board material: thickened and moisture-proof corrugated paper

Note: This product needs to be DIY. Once it is folded and installed, it cannot be returned if there is no quality problem”

We all know cats LOVE cardboard boxes so they are probably gonna love that… Someone has already purchased it and shared on Twitter that their cat likes it!

Do you think they look similar? 😸😸

Did you know…

Cats have free floating collarbones? AND their shoulder blades are not attached to any other bones?

The feline shoulder blade is attached to the rest of the body only by muscles, not by bone. This gives the shoulder blade tremendous freedom to move as the cat moves, extending its running stride even more. And unlike the long anchored collarbone we humans have, cats have tiny rudimentary collarbones that contribute to their ability to squeeze through tight openings.

You can read more on those in the below article:

Furriend of the week

Mary, the Campervan Cat (Instagram, @mary_the.campervan.cat)

I absolutely love following my furriend Mary and her pawsome family on Instagram. If you enjoy watching adorable cats, gorgeous European countryside, and some farm animals - then this is a purrfect match.

Mary has been exploring the world in the campervan for 4 years now. How amazing is that?!
