I was hoping to see a glass surface for cats with keyboard and mouse space underneath so a cat can’t sit on backspace and escape key. No luck.

If only we could plug our cats in and use them to type. Call it a purrallel port.

More like cat tree you might get no work done on but good for te kitties

Electric blankets. I put mine in the chair next to me and my cat will furiously ask me to turn it on each morning. Three hours of peace.

I put a chair next to my chair and now my cat sits there so she can easily bat my USB wires and threaten my hair. She also sometimes hops onto my desk and gently taps at loose things or tries to chew up papers. I think this desk would offend her, but maybe the hole would make for fun surprise attacks at me?

Since Japan is a rule following society I assume the cats there will sleep only in the designated areas.

Valuable lesson about understanding your potential customers. There is in fact zero chance of my cats (and probably most others) sitting where they are supposed to, they much prefer being on top to look around - and sometimes to look intently at the screen as though they are reviewing my code.

I agree with all the comments that say the cats will likely not use the desk as designed, but note that they did manage to take all these photos with the cat in the designated places, albeit not a single photo with the person actually typing on the keyboard as opposed to playing with the cat.

Maybe the desk really is designed for people who work at home, if their job is cat photographer.

Also need a split keyboard so a cat can sleep in between the halves.

I swear that once upon a time I sat at a desk, and it had a label printer sitting on it, and the box of labels was in a box fed through a hole pretty much like that... except I think it was kinda square with rounded corners. The "shelf" under the main part looks like you could put a retractable keyboard mount under there. Is this a joke?
