    A solemn little cat, dressed head-to-toe in polka-dotted “Sunday togs,” stares straight into the lens with the gravity of a studio portrait.

    #9 Personal airships

    Floating above a hazy city skyline, a pair of airy contraptions turns commuting into a parlor-game fantasy: one little balloon basket for two, and one elongated, blimp-like “personal airship” carrying a small party as if it were a pleasure boat in the clouds.
