Put An End To Bored, Understimulated Cats!
Plastic toys and empty beds don't engage your cat's natural instincts and fail to provide real stimulation during the hours you're away. The most natural way for cats to stay enriched is through self-directed play and territorial claiming.
The attached play ball and flexible handwoven walls allow endless self-play, promoting natural hunting, scratching, and kneading behavior. This effectively prevents common indoor cat problems like boredom, restlessness, and destructive behavior.

Our handwoven basket is specially designed to give your cat's instincts room to express and engage, just as nature intended. Not only does it satisfy their need for play and scratching, but it also keeps them busy and content while you're away.
