About Neko Goten Kačių bokštas

Neko Goten – tai kačių bokštas, sukurtas taip, kad primintų aukštos klasės baldus. Konstrukcija pagaminta iš ąžuolo ir kedro medienos iš Fukui prefektūros Japonijoje, o galutinai apdailinta baldžių meistrų rankomis. Neko Goten yra 2200 mm pločio, 600 mm gylio ir 1800 mm aukščio. Dizainas apjungia laiptus, draskyklę, skaidrią pusrutulio formą, ritinį, sferinį prieglobstį, maitinimo zoną su daiktadėže ir miegamąją vietą. Kompaktiška žaidimų erdvė tinka nuomojamiems būstams, kačių kavinėms ir klinikoms, kur negalima atlikti pertvarkymų katėms.
