Japanese Artist Makes Realistic Backpack That Looks Like A Cat
Having a cat by your side can definitely lighten your mood, but it can be difficult to bring it with you all the time.
An artist named Pico hopes to solve all this dilemma with a realistic ‘catpack’—a bag that looks exactly like a cat.
This functional feline can store your essentials, and you can take it anywhere.
Here’s what we know about these bags, which can fool cat lovers and, perhaps, even real cats.
Catpack as a backpack
At first glance, the catpack looks like a real feline with captivating green eyes, fine whiskers, and delicate fur. We’re blown away by the paw-sitively perfect craftsmanship.
According to the product page, this deceptive feline is made of faux fur fabric, ox fabric, and soft board. Resin and glass were used for its compelling eyes.
This cute and convenient accessory comes with a strap so you can use it as a regular backpack. Maybe you can turn heads of people on the streets who think your ‘cat’ should be in a carrier.
Ample storage space for your phone & wallet
All cats love fish, so it holds a chunky koi fish that could make many otter families in Singapore green with envy.
What sets it apart from a real cat is its ample storage space for your phone, wallet, and other essentials.
Once trained, Pico joked that it could stand to take Insta-worthy photos.
Note that this merchandise has eyes made of glass, so it’s not suitable for children. Owners can clean it by wiping it with a towel and using a soft brush to clean its fur.
Diverse designs
Pico specialises in creating cat-inspired bags. The cat-loving artist has created chonky catpack designs so you can get your preferred breed and colour.
If you sit with your catpack at a park bench, perhaps community cats may try to interact with it and end up feeling confused, wondering why it doesn’t respond.
An alternative option is this American Shorthair cat who seems ready to pounce on nearby prey.
Catpack is so popular, it’s sold out
Creating a catpack requires painstaking effort and attention to detail, so it comes with a hefty price tag. A bag is priced from S$1,698.50 (138,000 yen) and is currently sold out.
Due to popular demand, the artist is not currently accepting orders. However, interested cat lovers can follow the artist’s Instagram and Twitter page to get updates on order acceptance.
Carry a feline on your back
Having a feline constantly by your side is a dream come true for many cat lovers.
Bringing your real pet everywhere can be a tad troublesome, so maybe you can opt for this low-maintenance product you can easily carry around. Stroke its fur to feel calm and relaxed after a stressful day.
Since it is a work of art, remember this bag should be handled with care and treated gently like a real cat.
