Crush the rebel dogs with a ‘Stars Wars’ AT-AT cat condo

Here at Digital Trends, we’re all for treating your pets with the appropriate amount of nerdy love, but we do have to question arming cats. Especially when you arm them with an actual imperial AT-AT. That’s just begging for an Imperial Kitten Empire led by Darth Catious.

Reddit user, BillyAppletini, created his CAT-AT as a joke for a friend who loves Star Wars and happens to own two cats. Mr. Appletini is quite the friend, especially since he spent almost a month building the CAT-AT in secrecy.

While the outside of the CAT-AT is quite impressive looking, and we particularly enjoy the clock installed in the head, it’s the interior that impresses even more. Check out some of the detail shots in the gallery above to see among other things a light-up bar, some bird-head hunting trophies and a fake plant. Appletini’s friend’s cats are living the high life.

We have to admit, we’re a little jealous of those cats and their nearly $1,000 house.

How to save Ring Doorbell video without a subscription

Take a walk through any neighborhood, and you're bound to see a few Ring video doorbells installed next to front doors. The brand is increasingly popular, thanks to an ever-growing product lineup that makes it easy to find a device for all budgets and security needs. But one of the peskier features of Ring is the need for a Ring Protect Plan -- a monthly subscription service that unlocks the majority of the camera's most useful features.

One such feature locked behind a Ring Protect Plan membership is the ability to save Ring doorbell videos. Without a plan, you'll really only be allowed to view a live feed of your video doorbell. The plans are pretty generous, with the Basic plan costing $5 per month and offering video history for up to 180 days, making it a worthwhile investment for homes worried about their security.
