Furniture Box

The Furniture Box is a rare item with +8 Shield and -5 Speed. When the Shield is fully depleted, it transforms into a random piece of furniture at your home. The item doesn't need to be equipped to trigger the transformation — carrying it in your inventory is enough. It's a guaranteed second-choice reward on Hard Paths past The Alley, and if you die while carrying one, the Mystery Man allows you to claim it and the furniture conversion still happens.

The -5 Speed penalty is severe — the largest negative speed value on a single item — so equipping it on an active combat cat is a real sacrifice. It's more useful on slow tank cats who weren't moving aggressively anyway, or held unequipped if you just want the furniture without paying the speed cost during combat.
