Originally created as a joke by designer Billy Appletini, this Star Wars cat condo is going viral. Well beyond your average cat scratcher, the feline condo is remarkably flashy. In addition to the large size of the shelter, it is impressively close in design to its inspiration, the AT-AT Walker of *Star Wars* fame. Complete with carpeting, a lit-up mini bar, and even mounted bird trophies, this over-the-top complex will please even the most finicky felines. Changing the face of traditionally basement-worthy cat accessories, the Star Wars cat condo is not only hilarious, but will ensure that the force is with you *and* your beloved feline friend. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Flashy Cat Condos:** Creating extravagant and themed cat condos that go beyond traditional scratchers and provide luxury accommodations for felines. - **Pop Culture-inspired Pet Accessories:** Designing pet accessories that draw inspiration from popular movies, TV shows, and other cultural icons. - **Viral Pet Trends:** Creating unique and amusing pet products that garner attention and become popular on social media. ### Who This Affects Most - **Pet Furniture and Accessories:** Manufacturing and selling a wide range of pet furniture and accessories, including innovative and themed cat condos. - **Home Decor and Design:** Incorporating pop culture-inspired designs into home decor, including pet furniture and accessories. - **Digital Marketing and Social Media:** Leveraging viral pet trends to create engaging content and promote pet products on social media platforms. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Festive Sci-Fi Building Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingerbread-atat-walker.md) - [Cityscape-Like Cat Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mocats.md) - [Modular Cat Trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infinity-diy-cat-tree.md) - [Stylish Stimulating Cat Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/catit.md) - [Cat-Catered Large Japanese Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-cat-tree-house.md) - [Angular Multi-Functional Cat Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tesla-cybertruck-cat.md) - [Vertical Feline Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-tree-house-2.md) - [Holiday Collector’s Puzzle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingerbread-atat.md) - [Functional Furniture Cat Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/donarturo-cuba-cat-house.md)
