Creator Ingeniously Recreates "Shinjuku East Exit Giant Cat": Netizens Praise It as a Real 3D Cat Jumping Out of the Screen!

Previously, the enormous cat on the "CROSS Shinjuku Building" in Shinjuku, Tokyo, became a popular spot for advertisers due to its innovative "naked-eye 3D giant screen". Various anime characters have appeared on this screen, leaving a lasting impression on many viewers. Recently, a Twitter user, "Mikantojiro" (@jirosan77), recreated the building's scene at home, allowing their cat to sit and lie in the advertisement area, mimicking the "Shinjuku East Exit Giant Cat". This creative endeavor quickly became a hot topic on Twitter, garnering nearly 10,000 likes in just two days.

When the "CROSS Shinjuku Building" was about to open, its advertisement featuring a massive calico cat on a naked-eye 3D screen captured the hearts of many cat lovers. The cat's different actions at various times sparked high interest and discussion. The Twitter user carefully designed a new cat bed inspired by the "CROSS Shinjuku Building", which their cats adore. Both cats often snuggle up in this new spot, just like the 3D cat.

Design Inspiration

The design of this cat bed was inspired by the creativity and popularity of the Shinjuku 3D cat billboard. The billboard, located near Shinjuku Station, features a giant CGI animated cat that performs at regular intervals, attracting tourists and locals alike. The cat's movements, such as meowing and waving its tail, have made it a beloved landmark in Tokyo.

Impact on Social Media

The Twitter user's creative cat bed design has received widespread acclaim, with many expressing admiration for the idea and wishing to replicate it for their own pets. However, the success of such a project depends on whether the cat accepts the new bed.
