WHY INSTINCT BASKET?
There are hundreds of cat beds and scratchers available. After a year of studying cat behavior, we created the only one designed for cat instincts, not aesthetics.
✔️ Natural rope triggers instant recognition
Paw pads recognize it like tree bark - biology does the work.
✔️ Pheromones sink in permanently synthetic materials repel scent within hours. Natural rope absorbs it forever.
✔️ Gets BETTER with every scratch
Worn = more scent = more trusted. Cheap products just fall apart.
✔️ Complete territory in one spot
Scratch the rim, sleep in the center, play with the toy - without leaving their claimed space
✔️ Built to last years, not months
Handwoven rope gets stronger with use. No replacement cycle.
Reduces Stress & Protects Health
More than 1 in 2 indoor cats suffer from territorial stress - living without a space they can truly claim as their own. This territorial stress is linked to urinary blockages, kidney problems, and a shorter lifespan. Sadly, cats hide their stress until it becomes a serious health issue.
That's why veterinarians recommend the Instinct Basket. The natural rope absorbs your cat's pheromones permanently, creating a territory that finally feels like theirs. Which is especially important for indoor cats who can't mark outdoor territory like nature intended.

Does Your Cat Have Real Territory?
We all know cats need to scratch. But did you know that scratching isn't just about their claws - cats are hardwired to mark territory with their scent to feel safe. When every scratcher and bed is synthetic, they can't mark their territory. Without real territory, your cat never truly feels safe.
The Instinct Basket is the first cat bed designed for territorial instincts, not human aesthetics. Natural rope absorbs your cat's scent permanently - so every scratch makes it more theirs.
Cats with claimed territory are calmer, more confident, and less destructive. They're also less likely to develop stress-related health issues like urinary problems. With the Instinct Basket, you're giving your cat the one thing indoor life can't - a territory that's truly theirs.
