Cat CEOs get corner offices
Special desk for people who work at home with a cat
WFH with a cat? Japan built a desk for your furry boss — genius or 90s hack
TLDR: Bibilab’s new Neko House Desk builds cat lounges into your workspace, including a side condo and under-desk nook. Commenters are split: clever cat-human truce or 90s desk with holes, with worries about tall knees and jokes that cats will ignore it for a cardboard box.
Japan’s Bibilab just dropped the Neko House Desk, a work-from-home setup with built-in cat nooks: a two-tier “cat condo” on the side and a cozy perch under the desktop for easy lap-to-laptop cuddles, as seen on SoraNews24. And the internet immediately split into camps. One side calls it peak distraction — basically a fancy cat tree that will tank productivity — while the roastmasters say it’s “a 90s computer desk with holes.” The practical crowd chimed in with upgrades: add heat, because cats are tiny sun worshippers who really just want your warmth. Then came the tall-person revolt, warning that the under-desk nook could kneecap anyone taller than “typical Japanese length.”
But the sharpest claws came from the Box Supremacy believers: why buy a special desk when your cat will ignore it and crown a dusty cardboard box as the royal palace? Cue memes of “Cat CEO” granting humans a tiny corner of the keyboard, and jokes about quarterly reports measured in purrs. The real debate: smart truce with feline overlords or overpriced gimmick your cat will snub? Either way, the community agrees on one thing — cats are in charge, and humans are merely the IT department for their naps.
