Put an end to synthetic products your cat ignores!
Synthetic materials and plastic products can't hold your cat's scent and don't support their natural need to claim territory.
The most natural way for cats to thrive is by owning territory.
In nature, cats scratch bark and rub their scent on trees - creating territory their nervous system recognizes as theirs. The handwoven natural rope absorbs pheromones from your cat's paw pads and cheeks, giving indoor cats the claimable territory they're deprived of. This effectively prevents the stress behaviors veterinarians link to health problems.
Discover the calm and happy cat that comes with real territory
With the Instinct Basket, you're choosing natural territory, calmer behavior and a healthier indoor cat.
This handwoven basket gives your cat the feeling of claiming real space - while fitting perfectly into your home.
Our natural rope is specially designed to absorb and hold your cat's pheromones, just as nature intended. Not only does this create space they instinctively recognize as safe, but it also supports their nervous system for natural calm and security.

Complete Indoor Cat Solution – All Instincts Satisfied
✓ Absorbs Calming Pheromones - Natural rope holds scent from paw pads and cheeks. This is crucial in creating territory your cat's nervous system recognizes as safe and theirs.
✓ Encourages Natural Scratching - The woven texture invites scratching and kneading, letting your cat claim space the way outdoor cats claim trees. This benefits indoor cats by giving them an outlet their instincts need.
✓ Triggers the Security Response - The enclosed den-style walls create protected territory. This not only provides the safe space indoor cats are deprived of, but it's also crucial for supporting a calm nervous system.
✓ Becomes Theirs Over Time - Unlike synthetic beds that stay "foreign" forever, natural rope holds more scent with each use - becoming MORE theirs, not less.
✓ Chemical-Free & Natural - No synthetic materials that cats instinctively avoid and make them stressed. The breathable natural fibers let your cat trust the space completely, making it ideal for long-term territorial bonding.
