Cat condo - 'kat 'kän-(")dO n. - a length of cylindrical cardboard anywhere from 12 to 48 inches tall with 1 to four portals cut into the vertical surface, attached to a 20 x 20 inch piece of plywood and covered in some variety of carpeting material guaranteed to clash with whatever interior decoration you have done.

Useful for redirected a speeding cat by allowing said cat to propel itself off of at any angle with an increase in velocity. Cat condos with two or more portals are also capable of redirecting a speeding cat 180 degrees with negligible loss of velocity.

Often used in feline guerilla training for setting up and deploying a wide variety of ambush techniques.
