"Cats are agile and have elastic bones. So, it is unlikely that they will get stuck in the table."
The other benefit of having a cat on your work desk or study table is the ease of cleaning. Cats tend to clean themselves often through the day and the owners can just use a hair dryer to remove fallen fur from the furniture, he adds.CATable was exhibited at Milan Design Week 2014 along with the works of other Chinese designers.
"The table may cater to only a small group of people right now. But as long as they like it, they will help talk about it to a larger population," Ruan says.
The table comes in another version.
Earlier this year, Ruan updated the design by creating CATable 2.0. He felt that a cat may get bored with CATable 1.0, just like people lose interest in objects they use daily.
