I Tried the Concrete Slab Cat Trend…My Way!

Summer gives the concrete slab cat trend a try in this cute video...but of course, she has to do it HER way!

Have you heard about the concrete slab trend? People are buying their cats concrete slabs, and charging them in the sun. That way the cats can have the experience of lying on concrete, only inside. Well, you know my human — she had to get me to try it. Plus a concrete slab costs less than two dollars.

So she brought home this slab and set it outside in the middle of the day, then took it back inside for me to try out. And you know what happened?

The only way she could get me interested in it was by putting a dress on me!

And we made it even better with a tiara.

This trend has gotten so popular that some behaviorists, including Purina’s Dr. Annie Valeska, have chimed in about it. For the cats that enjoy it, it’s a combination of texture, and the concrete’s ability to retain warmth. And also, concrete is porous, so it’s an easy surface for a cat to leave their scent and claim ownership.

For an indoor cat, this is probably pretty novel. But even though I’m mostly indoors, I guess I’m just too jaded for this type of thing! You can see my whole reaction in the video below.

Have you heard of the concrete slab trend before? Let me know in the comments!
