$2 Concrete Block Frenzy: Cats Ditch Luxury Beds for Hardware Store Slabs

Concrete block mania sweeps CatTok as $2 slabs from Home Depot become the new feline obsession, upstaging luxury beds and laser toys. Why do cats like concrete, and is this the ultimate enrichment hack? Behaviorist Dr. Annie explains, “There’s probably nothing quite like them already in the home environment,” as orange tabby Kurt inspires a nationwide rush for masonry.
While Kurt naps on a sidewalk substitute, owners film their cats rubbing cheeks and claws on Home Depot concrete, pondering if scent-marking or novelty triggers this rocky romance. Trending searchers ask why cats ignore cat beds and if concrete is safe for pets, while videos show pets ignoring plush towers to sprawl blissfully on cold gray slabs.
Amidst a sea of abandoned velvet beds, one $7 Home Depot brick hosts more feline naps than a year’s worth of designer huts—leaving cat owners with a surplus of untouched luxury furniture.
