Crush the rebel dogs with a ‘Stars Wars’ AT-AT cat condo

By Scott Younker Published May 2, 2012

Here at Digital Trends, we’re all for treating your pets with the appropriate amount of nerdy love, but we do have to question arming cats. Especially when you arm them with an actual imperial AT-AT. That’s just begging for an Imperial Kitten Empire led by Darth Catious.

Reddit user, BillyAppletini, created his CAT-AT as a joke for a friend who loves Star Wars and happens to own two cats. Mr. Appletini is quite the friend, especially since he spent almost a month building the CAT-AT in secrecy.

While the outside of the CAT-AT is quite impressive looking, and we particularly enjoy the clock installed in the head, it’s the interior that impresses even more. Check out some of the detail shots in the gallery above to see among other things a light-up bar, some bird-head hunting trophies and a fake plant. Appletini’s friend’s cats are living the high life.

We have to admit, we’re a little jealous of those cats and their nearly $1,000 house.

How to map multiple floors with the Roborock Qrevo Curv

The Qrevo Curv placed in its docking station.

Robot vacuums make it easy to keep your entire home clean without much thought. After going through the initial setup and mapping phase, they can be scheduled to run automatically throughout the week. But if you’re living in a home with multiple floors, things can become a bit more complicated — not only will you have to physically move your robot up and down the stairs (none are yet capable of climbing steps), but you’ll need to map each floor separately.

More BLUETTI Black Friday deals for home power backup and more — Save over $200

Continuing coverage of BLUETTI Black Friday deals, including one of its latest portable power stations the Elite 200 V2, we have a few more callouts worth taking a look at. Where before the main focus was home battery backup or a solid portable power option for off-grid, these deals are smaller in scope. The BLUETTI AC180 solar portable power station, for instance, features a 1,152-watt-hour capacity, which is not nearly as massive as what you get with the Elite 200 V2, but that's the point. It's manageable, has 11 outlets to power multiple devices simultaneously, and has a built-in MPPT charge controller and 500-watt solar input for fast charging via solar. It's best for use on the go or on the road, just like the BLUETTI Charger 1.

Enough about the gear, let's talk about those deal prices. As an aside, right now you can use code DT01 for an extra 5% discount on top of all sale prices. That code is exclusive to Digital Trends readers and applicable to all products on BLUETTI's website.
