Cat Views

Ms. Scooter & Ms. Sydney just got their new cat perch. Their human, Ashley called us earlier this month to ask some questions about custom cat furniture for her cats, Scooter & Sydney. She liked the features of our 24” Deluxe Cat Perch but wanted taller cat furniture. I suggested our 19” high Booster Box, designed to fit snuggly under the perch which adds just enough height for ideal winter bird watching. Ashley said she had bought other inferior cat furniture, which she returned because it was unbalanced and unsafe. She was kind enough to send some terrific photos of her pals enjoying their new perch.

14-year old Scooter, who is bolder and a little nosier, discovered immediately out of the box this was meant for them. Living up to her name, she scooted right up into the perch. At 14, her new cat furniture will offer great exercise and strength building to keep her young and active, ready to play with 8-year old Sydney but that will have to wait until this nap is finished! Lucky cats!

I had a helpful inquiry this week. A customer emailed asking a question about buying a cat perch together with a Booster Box. The Booster Box is kind of a nifty new idea thought up by one of our custom-fabricators. They pride themselves on shipping all of their cat furniture, “fully assembled,” making it easier for our customers who can’t or don’t want the task of assembling cat perch parts. It’s a great idea too, because it saves shipping costs! But, thanks to McDonalds, we’ve been programmed to think we need Biggee stuff, like Biggee fries & Biggee shakes and perhaps biggee cat trees! So, to offer both, the shop came up with the idea of building a Booster Box which arrives fully assembled, only having to set the perch on top of the box to achieve additional height. This is a great solution too, for Canadian orders as we have box-limits with international shipping. So this week we were able to work out a “consumer friendly” method for Grandma or Aunt Bee to have both the benefit of getting cat furniture delivered “almost” assembled and Max or Maxine to enjoy their treasured tall, biggee cat perch. A win-win!

Meet Kiki…. She likes to read her Sunday morning paper lying in the middle of the family room floor in her not-so-snazzy box lid. Pet parent, Alan decided to upscale her digs with a custom 3-sided window cat perch. Although she already had a window perch, he thought perhaps she might especially enjoy the luxury of style by mirroring the design of the perch to match her proclivity to her cardboard lid. It fostered ‘almost’ instant snuggles, happily perched during her afternoon naps to enjoy the outdoor neighborhood happenings. Another spoiled kitty!!
