everyday studio scratchable cat furniture by susan kralovec

So pleasantly nice to see the pet furniture category expanding…and, hey, even if you don’t have cats, these perhaps could be used as accent pieces, maybe a small side table?

“not only can they help to stop your cat from tearing up your furniture, but help them to sharpen their claws safely and in style.”

Finishes available: Maltese(white), canary(yellow), koi(orange), and iguana(green).

PLUSH BIRD & TWIG

This is the best modern execution of a pet toy I’ve ever seen.

“Plush birds for the indoor bird watcher. The perfect decoy for the cat on the prowl! The life sized birds come with or without handcast pewter twigs. They can be perched high only to be watched until it’s play time or they can be perched just out of reach for some more athletic fun. Hand stitched in designer wools and cottons. Each bird is deliciously stuffed with certified organic catnip and fattened with poly-fill. Hand cast pewter twigs are available in either natural pewter or blackened pewter.”

Bird Size: 7″L x 1.5″W x 1.5″H Twig Size: 5″L x 2.5″W x 1.5″H”

Otis and Claude Dwell Pethouse

Finally, a pet-house worthy of being in your own house. I’ve seen a few contenders but this one is simple enough without looking ostentatiously modern.

Note: There’s nothing wrong with things looking ostentatiously modern, but sometimes it’s difficult to pull off well.

Cardboard Cat Cocoon

I was slightly alarmed when I first saw this, mainly because I had no clue to what it was, and maybe I’m still getting used to it, but I think I mostly like it. It’s certainly better than the pet-store alternative.

“…the rough exterior texture functions to sharpen claws or scratch away itches while the dark interior is a cat hideaway and storage spot. The 1- to 3.5″ peepholes provide provocative and interactive entertainment for both owners and animals.”

“Provocative.” Indeed.

Laser-cut cardboard.

Elizabeth Paige Smith Couchette

The perfect perch for your feline friend(s), primarily because it doesn’t scream “I am for a cat”. It can be turned on either side, depending on your pet’s preference (or yours I suppose) and is made of corrugated cardboard. There’s a few other nice designs as well- go check ’em out.

Cat Head Cat Bed

Update: The original website no longer offers the Whiskas Cat Bed, but we did find a UK retailer. Please let us know if there is US retailer and we’ll add a link in.

If you have a cat, you probably know that it will just about sleep anywhere unless you try to get it to sleep somewhere else. But if for some reason you have a cat that is particularly cooperative with your suggestions, look at this little cat bed. I’ve seen it on a few sites for as much as $150, but if you order directly from London you can get it for drastically less. Via Uncrate.

Cat Tree by susan Kralovec

Thank goodness. Such a nice alternative to the horrible (but necesssary) ones at the local pet store, don’t you agree? The outside frame part is steel, while the carboard part fits snugly inside and can be changed out as needed.
