Cats love climbing through cozy spaces. That’s why the CATable, a beautifully functional work surface with built in tunnels for burrowing, is so appealing to them. In the words of designer Ruan Hao, "It is a table for us, and a paradise for cats."

For better or for worse, most of us have phased out meals at the dinner table in favor of dining in front of the TV.
