Gift Your Cats a Tree House Complete With a Real Tree

Filed under: Pets, Green

Leave it to Hammacher Schlemmer to come up with something this high-end for your cat(s). The Feline Tree House is made from mature dragonwood trees harvested from sustainable forests in Florida and Georgia and is built during a 16-hour process that requires 1,000 individual cuts. The tree is left in its natural state -- gnarled branches, bark, lichen, and all -- and the platforms are custom-cut to fit each tree. It's very house-like indeed, with with cedar shutters, shaker shingles, and wall-to-wall frieze carpeting. Spacious too: 18" x 22" with carpeted 16" square and 16" x 24" perches, as well as a carpeted cradle tucked among the branches, all permanently attached to the trunk for stability. All carpeting (except the cradle's) is held in place with hook-and-loop fasteners, making cleaning easy. Realistic camilla silk foliage and two hanging cat toys complete the house. Minimal assembly; 72" H x 19" W x 28" D, 92 lbs. At $874.95, this is for cats who are on the "nice," not the "naughty," list this holiday. Though truth be told, if I had the room and could justify the cost, I'd get this for my cats anyway!

Designer Archipod Cat Furniture

Filed under: Pets

Cats don't seem to get as large a percentage of the luxury pet goods market as dogs do. Perhaps the reason is that dogs are more likely to be taken along on shopping trips with their "parents," but cat owners are just as interested in pampering their felines as dog owners are in pampering their pups. Designer Archipod Cat Furniture is a piece that is just for cats. It is made out of industrial-strength corrugated cardboard with a maple base and functions both as a seat and as a scratching post. You might even be able to get away with calling it art before the cats get into it too much. It measures 25" x 33" x 12". Price: $369.
