CatPod is a portable, hexagonal kennel designed for cats. Its hexagonal design allows the pet owner to use space more efficiently.

The main reason why this product exists is to provide the cat owners a more clean and efficient alternative to the kennels that are currently available on the market. While most kennels are either made of fabric or metals, CatPod will be made out of plastic called HDPE. This will allow the cat owners to wash the pod when needed, keeping their cat clean, happy and healthy. The CatPod's main feature is its modularity. People who owns multiple cats could have a pod for each, and stack the pods in in any way they prefer. With its hexagonal shape, pods will form a structurally-stable honeycomb structure that uses the space very efficiently. CatPod will also have doors on its side panels, allowing the cats to have more freedom. They may also interact with other cats by moving from one pod to the other. 

The design process of this product was very straight-forward, but as it developed, more time was spent on designing the sliding mechanism for the pods. This is the most important part of this product because this mechanism allows the users to slide the pods together and apart, so that they could take to pods with them to the outside if they need to. Another aspect of the design development includes the lid's lock mechanism, which potentially could be replaced with either magnets or velcro to reduce time. 

As the project entered the final design phase, CatPod's main focus shifted towards the high-end market, targeting consumers who wants luxurious products for their cats. CatPod can provide the cats with luxurious experience, while maintaining modularity and portability.
