Wife Not Certain She Wants Coffin-Shaped Cat Condo in Living Room

PHOENIX, AZ — A local husband is expressing frustration over his wife's reluctance to approve the display of his latest purchase: a coffin-shaped cat condo that he insists is a "classy, sophisticated addition" to their living room.

The uniquely-designed cat condo resembles a tall, black tree adorned with coffins, which Charlie Slauson believes would make a perfect centerpiece for anyone with a taste for medieval-style horror.

"I don't understand why she has a problem with it," Charlie said while adjusting a miniature battle axe hanging nearby. "Maybe she's just not as much of a fan of Gothic chic as I am."

His wife, Amanda, wasn't shy about voicing her concerns. "It's a weird-looking thing! Sure, it could spark some interesting conversations, but what kind of conversations are we talking about? ‘Hey honey, remember when we were normal?’ I can tell this debate is just going to stretch on all day!"

While some family members worry that such a frightful piece of furniture might terrify their three cats, the feline trio unanimously expressed their approval of finally having décor that fully embraces their inner demons.

At publishing time, Mr. Slauson was reportedly gearing up for another battle over the placement of various weaponry, including axes, lances, sabres, muskets, and medieval shields around the home, declaring, "If the cats need their horror-themed condo, surely I can have my Renaissance arms!"
