{"product_id":"monakitty","title":"MonaKitty — The Cat Bed That Turns Your Cat Into a Masterpiece","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery cat bed you have ever bought has been ugly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou have hidden them behind the sofa. Moved them before people came over. Bought the beige one because it was the least offensive beige one. And your cat slept in a cardboard box anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMonaKitty is the first one you will want people to see.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a gallery-scale reproduction of the Mona Lisa, built as a three-dimensional cat house. Your cat walks in and sits down — and because the painted arms sit in front of them, the Mona Lisa appears to be holding your actual cat in her lap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen you take a photo. Everyone does. That is the entire point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy it works, and why nothing else does\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost novelty pet furniture is a flat printed panel with a hole in it. MonaKitty is built from \u003cstrong\u003efour separate printed boards\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree of them wrap around the back and both sides, so the painting's landscape continues around your cat on every side — they are not sitting in a box, they are sitting \u003cem\u003einside the painting\u003c\/em\u003e. The fourth is the piece that does the trick: a \u003cstrong\u003edie-cut foreground board of her folded arms and hands\u003c\/strong\u003e that mounts in front of the opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat separation between the arms and the cat behind them is what creates the depth. It is why the illusion holds on camera, and it is why a flat panel could never do this.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFull specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e52 cm \/ 20.5 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth across the front\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44 cm \/ 17.3 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDepth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35 cm \/ 13.8 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.86 kg \/ 4.1 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum cat weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.5 kg \/ 16.5 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFour printed boards — three wraparound background panels, one die-cut stereoscopic foreground board\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtwork\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTextured oil-painting reproduction of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDeep brown moulding with gold beaded inner trim, printed and embossed on the board face\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStructure\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSelf-supporting A-frame.
