Makeshift Russian Cat-Lift Is Eco-Friendly, Made From Repurposed Materials (VIDEO)

In eco-friendly Russia, cat-lift lifts you! Or at least it lifts your spirits.

For anyone who's ever wondered whether there's a better way to get their cats inside the house in time for dinner, consider this trick posted to YouTube by user ignoramusky.

It's easy: Put a broom through the back of a chair, then lower the chair out a window. When your cats grab hold, slowly pull it up. It's quick, eco-friendly, a form of light exercise, and uses repurposed materials.

Heck, you can even sit right back down in the chair after you're done using it as a kitty elevator. How's that for sustainability?

"In eco-friendly Russia,..."

OK, maybe I missed something. EXACTLY when did Russia become eco-friendly? Sure. there are those that seek to make the environment better, but the nation is under the grip of corporations which ensure they can run amok in most of the country.

Hi LaoShur,

It's a joke referencing the comedian Yakov Smirnoff. I'd like to think that there are plenty of people in Russia that seek to make the environment better.

Thanks for reading,

A

Actually there are quite a number of new eco friendly communities popping up all over the place in Russia. Try reading the book The Ringing Cedars. Have a nice day.
