People bored in quarantine are building cardboard tanks for their cats
Quarantine has made people discover parts of their personalities that they didn’t even know they existed.
Being at home all day every day has made people exhaust all their ideas about spending time creatively indoors- they worked from home, did housework, posted viral videos on Tik Tok, but now what?
It was time to really think of something creative to do during the endless free hours they had. What better opportunity to learn a new skill than the lockdown, when you have plenty of time to dedicate to practicing your new hobby?
Crafts have been found to offer relief from stress, a sense of accomplishment, and reduced anxiety. They have also been associated with enhanced confidence, as well as cognitive abilities.
So, some cat owners decided to start crafting tanks for their furry friends and they are taking the Internet by storm!
Below you can find 20 of the funniest ones.

3. Detailed

A “double-decker” tank is even better if you want to keep both cats busy at the same time! Looks like it’s working!
