As the kings and queens of humankind, felines are getting the Cybertruck before it reaches us peasants. Well, sort of. Tesla in China has created a cat scratch box in the shape of the long-awaited pickup, and it’s now available for sale.
The box emulates the angled body of the Cybertruck, but instead of doors, it has an open top for your cat to slide in and claim its throne.

And, yes, it’s a cardboard box, which these furry friends tend to hold in higher regard than all other cat-friendly spaces like pet beds and condos. So you best believe that it fits, and Luna will sits. Specifically, it has five layers of corrugated cardboard and can support up to 33 pounds of weight, meaning it will have no problems retaining its shape after extended use.

Inside, the corrugated paper serves as a scratch board. Kitty doesn’t need opposable thumbs or a subscription for self-driving mode to operate this ride!

The box, however, will need to be assembled by those who do have opposable thumbs and have the means to afford its price of ¥89 (US$12.38).
Another interesting piece of merch that’s just been released into the Tesla China store is, of all things, a branding iron. Though, as Carscoops so carefully points out, this isn’t for pets or cattle. Worry not!

This tool, with a branded beech wood handle, is designed to stamp the Tesla logo on things like burgers, bread, wood, and leather goods. For its versatility and its ability to accommodate temperatures of up to 349°F, the branding iron costs a pricier ¥480 (US$67).
