When a cruise ship is sinking, lifesaving is said to be carried out according to the following priorities: female and child passengers ] male passengers ] female crew ] male crew. Then, what about cats? What is the priority order for feline lifesaving?

Hollywood Kitty Company, a U.S. company that sells canine and feline goods, is marketing a "Sinking Titanic Condo. This is a playground for cats, modeled after the sinking luxury liner "Titanic.


The "Sinking Titanic Condo" is a completely handmade, three-story playground with a claw post, six windows, three play tunnels, and other cat-pleasing features. The tunnels are said to be set wide enough for most cats to pass through.


It measures 78 cm high x 117 wide x 43 cm deep and weighs 37 kg. The price is $1,999 (about 240,000 yen), but at the time of writing, it is being sold at a special price of $1,699.15 (about 203,000 yen).

Now, looking at a cat in a sinking boat, one might be inclined to ponder the priorities of cat life saving. But perhaps we don't need to worry so much. It is thought that the cats will find a passageway that humans cannot go through and escape first.
