New perfume captures fragrance of kitten fur

The new fragrance by Demeter Fragrance Library, accurately named Kitten Fur, was manufactured to capture the smell of the ‘PURRfect spot’ just behind a kitten’s neck.

“Fifteen years in the making, we’ve captured the olfactory essence of warmth and comfort,” the company said. “Cat lover or not, this beautiful scent is sure to satisfy your curiosity!”

The exclusive fragrance is available on Demeter Fragrance’s website in a variety of sizes and prices, ranging from a half-ounce cologne mini splash for $6 to a 4-ounce atmosphere diffuser oil for $25.


Train travels right through hole in block of flats

Living near the local train station is a big deal breaker for many home buyers.

But what if the train came straight through your front door?

A light railway track has been designed to run directly through a hole in a 19-storey block of flats in the city of Chongqing, China.

The tunnel has been built through floors six to eight. And if you’re worried about the noise, the building has been specially insulated and is said to be no louder than a dishwasher, according to Mail Online.

Residents can conveniently hop on the Chongqing Rail Transit No.2 from the Liziba station located in the building.

The area, also known as Mountain City, is home to 49 million people who are packed into just 31,000 square miles of land, so this is a great way to solve space issues.

“Our city is very heavily built upon and that can make finding room for roads and railway lines a real challenge,” a city transport spokesman said.
