Interior designer (and founder) unveils ancient Japanese design secret behind stylish cat furniture.

Dear Cat Parents,

You know the feeling… finally home. Lights on. Shoes off.

You sink into the sofa…

Life is good…

Then your eyes hit that thing… it’s supposed to be for your fur baby, but that twinge of dissatisfaction bubbles up again.

Cats spend an astounding 70% of their lives sleeping – that’s 12 to 16 hours a day.

As predators, they use these rest periods to conserve energy, even if your indoor cat’s idea of “hunting” is chasing a laser pointer.

In the wild, cats seek high vantage points as resting places, so they can survey their territory and avoid other predators (such as coyotes).

They need elevated space to feel secure, especially when they sleep. 

Unfortunately, our modern homes lack the elevated resting places and climbing opportunities that cats crave.
