Why the Litter Box Didn't Make It

We listed a litter box once. It looked great in photos — high sides, a clean modern shape, the kind of thing you'd actually want sitting in your living room.

We also thought it was metal. It was not metal. It was plastic with a finish that photographed like metal, which is a problem for a box that's supposed to feel sturdy and resist smells and odour and wasn't actually built for either.

So we pulled it. Not deleted — we don't like pretending things never happened — just taken down and set aside until we find a version that's actually what it claims to be.

This is basically the whole philosophy of this shop in one story: if it doesn't hold up, it doesn't stay up, even after it's already live.
