Whoever designed this with its implicit assumption that the cat won't then proceed onto the table has never met a cat.

At least they should offer a clear plastic bubble - the head could come up, the eyes could see, but the paws stay off the table.

Can it be a clicky Pop-o-Matic bubble?

This is smart. Also the cat won't be meowing aggressively to eat your food.

There is a Japanese youtuber, called Jun, who has actually trained his cats very well, and he let's them watch him cook fresh meals. I assume they also don't try to snatch food from peoples' plates, since they never interrupt his cooking.

My cat would love this. He loves sitting on my stool watching me cook. He loves hanging out with me while I eat but never tries to eat my food, can even leave him alone with the food. But when I eat he loves to get up in my business lmao so a table like this would be his jam.

The young one is like this. She does not care about human food. But the big ones haven't been trained by me, so they do misbehave. I have to keep an extra eye because most of the food we eat is not fit for cats. Secondly: the vet gave me a precise diet and they better keep it, else they can't hide they snatched food as they usually do not digest it fine. Than there a stray cat who is absolutely educated and only easts his food.

They should have just put an inset box in the middle with the access hatch in the bottom. Best case you keep the cat contained and worst case you can have an in-table hibachi grill spot.

The fact that the center does not lock in place means the creator has either never owned a cat, or has only owned extremely well-behaved cats. My kitty would spend all day making as much noise as physically possible with that center plug.

Ugh... This reminds me of the monkey scene in Faces of Death.

I had a similar memory of a T.C. Boyle short story but I am immediately re-traumatized. If you know you know.
