These [modular cat playhouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neko-yama) are designed to entertain even the most snobby, high-maintenance feline. The most basic kit -- the Leopardo DiCatrio kit -- consists of two beams, two cubes, a tunnel, bridge, ramp and two different types of connectors. All of these are made from [recycled cardboard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dollhouse-concept) that can be painted and customized. The Poopy Cat Blocks are currently the subject of a [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfcleaning-litter-box1) campaign. The Leopardo DiCatrio kit can be yours (or your cat's) for a pledge of just $35, with shipping expected to commence in March 2015. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Modular Cat Playhouses:** The trend of modular cat playhouses is disrupting the traditional cat toy market, offering customizable and entertaining options for feline companions. - **Recycled Cardboard Toys:** The trend of using recycled cardboard to create cat toys is providing environmentally-friendly alternatives and appealing to eco-conscious consumers. - **Crowdfunding for Pet Products:** The trend of using crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter to launch pet products is opening up opportunities for innovative and niche pet accessories. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Pet Toys:** The pet toy industry has the opportunity to embrace modular design and eco-friendly materials to cater to the growing demand for customizable and sustainable toys. - **Sustainable Packaging:** The packaging industry can tap into the use of recycled cardboard and eco-friendly materials to meet the needs of environmentally-conscious consumers. - **Crowdfunding Platforms:** The crowdfunding industry can expand its reach by attracting more pet-related projects and becoming a hub for innovative pet product launches. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cityscape-Like Cat Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mocats.md) - [Modular Cat Trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-cat-trees.md) - [Contemporary Cat Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Cat-Furniture-1.md) - [Modular Magnetic Cat Walls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyanpeki.md) - [Customizable Feline Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meow-modular-cat-furniture.md) - [Dynamic Cat Litter Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-object-litter-box.md) - [Affordable Minimalist Cat Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petsy-cat-house.md) - [Premium Cat Tree Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-cat-tree.md) - [Flatpack Feline Entertainment Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/float-cat-tree.md)
