Neko Goten meet 2200 mm in breedte, 600 mm in diepte en 1800 mm in hoogte. Die ontwerp kombineer 'n trap, 'n krapbord, 'n deursigtige halfbol, 'n roller, 'n bolvormige skuiling, 'n voedingsarea met stoorplek en 'n slaapplek. Die kompakte speelarea is geskik vir huurwonings, katkafees en klinieke waar opknapping vir katte nie moontlik is nie.
