"Cat Starter" develops cat goods for cats together with cats. This is a "crowdfunding" site that solicits investors for ideas for goods posted by cat lovers and actually manufactures the ones that have won the most investors.


Last year, "Hot Keys" was the most popular "Cat Starter". The idea was commercialized and sent to 100 selected investors.



According to the creators of "Hot Keys," cats want to ride on laptop keyboards because it's warm. Also, cats don't want to get in the way of their owners when they get on the keyboard.


The keyboard-type hot carpet "Hot Keys" for cats was created on behalf of the cat's feelings toward the owner in the cold weather. It's USB-powered, and if you plug the cable into your computer's USB port, the surface of the "Hot Keys" will warm up slightly with the built-in heater. Cats approaching to get warm with their owner's laptop are fascinated by the warmth and softness of the surface of "Hot Keys", and they are satisfied here without punching the keyboard.



The cat is satisfied, and the owner's data is safe. "Hot Keys" can be said to be a wonderful item that allows cats and people to have a win-win relationship.



Unfortunately, all of the limited edition "Hot Keys" have already been distributed and are not available again. But Cat Starter is always looking for new cat merchandise ideas. If posted and selected by the investor, the new idea may be commercialized as cat goods.
