How to build a gamer setup for your cat
Your cat has been staring at your gaming setup for years. Give them their own version.
The captains chair
A cave-style bed elevated enough to survey the room, with soft plush walls that block noise.
Ambient lighting
USB-powered LED strips, warm white or slow color-shifting. Avoid strobing.
The battle station
Puzzle feeder shaped like a control panel — buttons, sliders, switches. Ten minutes of engagement per session.
Stream corner
Window perch with a bird feeder outside. OG cat streaming.
Snacks
Silicone lick mat mounted to the cave, frozen for long sessions.
Cable management
Wrap cords in split-loom tubing, tape runs to walls, cord protectors on chargers.
Wall art
Cat-height climb shelves in the corner.
Wrap
Start with the captains chair, add lighting, work up. See the Cat Ninjas guild.
