Hide and Seek
Cats love hiding places, and this pet ottoman from QCI Direct lets you put your feet up and allows your cat to stretch out so the both of you can unwind. The surface, made of polyurethane, is easy to wipe clean.
Cats on a Trapeze
They don't fly through the air, but cats love the large soft cushions that they can nap on. Perfect for kittens and active cats, the Cat Trapeze is the perfect place to play and rest. It's available in a two- and three-pillow version.
Catnap
The new Basics Bucket cat bed by designer Barb Joyce for Moderncat Studio is the perfect luxury napping spot for kitties of all shapes and sizes. Each bucket measures a generous 20 inches in diameter and 8 inches tall. The fabric cover is removable for machine washing. It comes in an assortment of patterns.
Scratching Allowed
In addition to providing cats with a cozy place to sleep, the SkratchKabin's outer surface is designed for scratching. Available in three colors, SkratchKabin comes with a machine-washable cushion and a sisal mouse for added fun.
The Sunny Side of Life
Short on space? The Sunny Seat Cat Bed attaches to most windows and can hold up to 50 pounds with the support of industrial-strength suction cups. Cats love sunning themselves in the window, so this is a purrfect spot to enjoy the view of the great outdoors.
In and Out
If cats could talk, they would tell us "the higher the better." Just place a few steps leading up to the highest point and it's guaranteed that the cat will access it. To make it more fun for the cats, add these wonderful boxes. Courtesy of the Vertical Cat
A Cat's-Eye View
This elegant wall-mounted cat tree from Designer Pet Products comes in a set of two pieces one with an opening for a cat to explore and another that is closed off, so the cat cannot enter. This is a great place for small plants or books. Cats can rest on the top of this box.
On the Up and Up
Cats love to climb, whether it's up on a shelf or on a staircase. These shelves and staircases are out of the way, so they take up little space, and when cats lounge above, they become part of the decor. Courtesy of the Vertical Cat
