Cardboard Cat TARDIS Is Perfect for Doctor Mew

Did you know that on Gallifrey, all cats roam free? Well, you shouldn’t, since I just made that up. But I have it on good authority that the next time the good Doctor regenerates, he’s going to be turned into a cat. So it’s a good thing that somebody has already worked out a TARDIS that’s just the right size for Doctor Mew.

The guys over at CacaoPets sell this TARDIS-inspired cat house that’s the perfect place for your kitty to hang out inside of as they get ready for their next mission across time and space. No glue is required, so you just follow the directions and slide the pieces together. It’s made from thick 4mm corrugated cardboard, which is much sturdier than those Amazon boxes you have lying around and were thinking about building your own cat TARDIS from. That said, I know of no cardboard that can withstand the claws of a feline hellbent on turning everything into a scratching post.

The finished cat TARDIS measures just under 19″ square and a little over 21″ tall. It may even be bigger on the inside, making it just right for kitty and their faithful companion to travel in. Rather than being powered by The Eye of Harmony, this TARDIS gets its energy from pure catnip, so be sure to stock up. If you’re ready to send your cat on a mission to defeat K9 and his army of robot dogs, you can find the cat TARDIS over on Etsy for $81.

UK “Cops” Use Dalek to Scare People into Isolating

When it comes to scary monsters from science fiction, Doctor Who’s Daleks rank high on the list. These soulless robotic aliens go around the universe, exterminating all those who stand in their way. So what better way to get people to stay inside of their homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, then to bring a Dalek to their doorsteps?

Somewhere in the UK, somebody programmed a Dalek to drive around a neighborhood and proclaim “ALL HUMANS MUST KEEP INDOORS. ALL HUMANS WILL SELF ISOLATE. BY ORDER OF THE DALEKS.” If that doesn’t get you to shelter in place, nothing will. Except maybe some weeping angels hanging outside your front door.

While I was hoping this was done by an actual police department, the stunt actually appeared on the Sandford Police twitter feed. And if you don’t know who the Sandford Police are, you need to stop what you’re doing, and go stream Hot Fuzz right now.

This TARDIS Teapot and Mug Are Shinier on the Outside

Doctor Who fans have a huge selection of merchandise to choose from, so if you’re going to add to your collection, it better be something unique. I’ve seen lots of TARDISes before (or is it TARDI?), and even seen a TARDIS teapot. But this is definitely the first time I’ve seen such a delightfully shiny TARDIS teapot.

Plus Toynk’s TARDIS teapot comes with a matching TARDIS mug to go with it. Imagine heading out through space and time with your companion as you sip tea from a tiny police call box. The ceramic tea set is perfect for any Whovian.

If you’re ready for a delightful mug of tea to go with your Jammie Dodgers, you can grab this set for $64.99 over at Toynk. Surely, filling the TARDIS with searing hot tea won’t do anything strange to the space-time continuum.
