Great Cat Tree for Your Kitten

The Spider is a unique piece of cat furniture that is small enough to fit anywhere and still be the focalpoint of your cat’s activity.  The unit is reversible, and regardless if you have the short or tall side down, the center area is padded and lined with a thermal absorbing layer that retains and radiates back your cats’ body heat for added comfort.

Cats love to crawl between the petals to get under the flower where they can discover a secret space to rest and relax, or to spend quality time planning their next great adventure.  The petals that surround the flower provide back support when your cat is laying in the flower enhancing its feeling of security.

This cat tree is also good for mature cats who may not like to climb and jump as they did when they were younger.  The short profile allows them to easily climb into the flower bed and enough all the features of a much larger cat tree.

The Right Cat Tree for the Ocicat

The right cat tree for the Ocicat is going to be one that is tall, has several climbing levels, and provides cubbyholes and pass-throughs.

An "Energy Burner"

An "Energy Burner"

Ocicats are very energetic and curious.  They love to jump and climb, and interact with people.  They are also very intelligent and have been known to open doors or cage latches, as well as respond to many verbal commands like fetch, sit, and lie down.

To keep your cat happy you need to direct the “cat-energy” by providing a means for releasing that energy in a manner you approve of.  One way of doing this is to provide a virtual cat playground in the form of a good cat tree.

Check out the article that was featured in our newsletter that specifically addresses what you should look for in a good cat tree for your Ocicat.

Quality Cat Furniture – Over 30 Models!

Kitten Cat Bed

Kitten Cat Bed

All our cat furniture is hand made in the U.S. of only the finest quality materials.  The smallest kitty trees are only about a foot off the floor, but they do provide crawl space underneath that kittens love to play in.  Our medium sized cat trees are three to five feet tall.  All have padded beds that are lined with a heat retention layer that absorbs and radiates back the heat from the sun, or from your cats’ body – thus increasing the comfort level.  These are a very good height to place in front of an outside window to use as a cat window perch.   The tall cat towers are as tall as seven feet.  Our cat towers feature multiple levels for fun and exercise, and all except the Jack-N-Beanstalk have cubbyholes and pass throughs to tweak your cats’ curiosity.  The “Jack” is a very unique cat tree in that it’s based on the children’s story where the beanstalk grows into the “cloud” – it provides great fun for your

Kitty Log Cat Tree

What’s short but long, round with a hole in it, and tons of fun?

Kitty Log Cat Tree

Answer: The Kitty Log Cat Tree

We have prototyped this new piece of cat furniture we call the “Kitty Log” at various cat shows the past couple months.  It has proven to be a very popular piece of cat furniture by the fact we have sold every piece we made available.

We are going to produce this piece in three lengths and the price is expected to range from $130 to $160.  It will come already assembled so no one has to put it together, and it will be ready for your cats to play on just as soon as you take it out of the box.

We still have some logistics to work out but should have this cat tree available on the website by the end of March.

To keep track of the Kitty Log progress and to see other unique cat trees, cat condos and cat towers visit our website:

Cat Care Money Saving Tip

Small Savings Add Up

Small Savings Add Up

We all know how expensive veterinarian care for our cat is.  Sometimes if you have to pay for prescription drugs over and above the vet bill it causes such a hardship that something has to be compromised.

You can save money on prescription drugs by buying from an internet site.  Sites like 1800petmeds.com and petmedoutlet.com will give you a place to start comparing prices.  Even if from a comfort level you would rather get your cats’ prescription drugs from your vet, nothing prevents you from printing out the price list from the internet site and taking it to your vet to see if he/she will match the price.

Find more money saving ideas by going to our newsletter.

Buying quality cat tree furniture also saves you money over time.

The Little Jack Cat Tree

Little Jack Cat Tree

Little Jack Cat Tree

People see the Little Jack at cat shows and they absolutely fall in love with it.  They wish they had room in the car to take it home.

The Little Jack is a unique cat tree inspired by the fairytale Jack-n-the-beanstalk.  The tree is five feet tall and the top is made to resemble a ‘cloud’ so your cat can climb the beanstalk (cat tree) and go above the ‘cloud’ were it will find a padded resting area.  The trunk has a serpentine vine circling from the bottom to the top that your cat can climb or scratch.  There are six large contoured leaves molded to hug and hold your cat in comfort.  There is an extra thermal liner on the top and in each leaf that will absorb your cats’ body heat and radiate it back for that “Oh so good feeling”.

See the Little Jack and other fabulous pieces of cat furniture by visiting our website today.
