[dropcap]L[/dropcap]abo was successfully released in the US and Japan last week. Nintendo Labo has been praised for it’s back-to-basics concept that encourages children to use their imagination. Many schools have said that they would like to use Labo in the classroom. Even adults have commented on how fun assembling Labo is.
But Labo has also received approval from a rather more unintended audience. Cats.
It’s no secret that cats adore cardboard. Popular internet cat Maru has loads of videos of him playing in boxes. If your cats are anything like my grandmother’s 7 felines (yes, 7) you’ll probably relate to buying them a comfy new cat bed (which comes in a box), only for them to turn their noses up at the expensive bed and sleep inside the cardboard box instead. How rude right?
Given Labo’s popularity, it’s safe to assume many cardboard fishing rods, pianos, and robots now reside in homes across the globe. Cats worldwide must be rubbing their paws together in glee, thinking that Christmas has come early!
The internet loves cats. It’s therefore no surprise that numerous videos and photos are emerging of cats with Labo.
An example being Nintendo Labo V Cat
It’s kind of cute to see curious cats taking an interest in/being intrigued by Labo. ????
It’s admittedly a little anxiety-provoking to see cats sleeping on top of Labo and batting it playfully. ????
It is horrifying however, to watch videos that show the most fiendish of felines destroying Labo! Somebody save it! ????

Considering how unhelpful cats tend to be, it’s a safe bet your cats aren’t going to be helping assemble your Labo anytime soon.
Therefore, unless you like your Labo:
It’s probably best to keep your kitty well away.
After all, Labo is most likely some of the priciest cardboard you’ll ever buy! If you want to learn more about Nintendo Labo, head over here.
