The Couchette is a double-sided chaise longue that looks wonderfully elegant. Multiple sides and angles for sharpening claws with wave-edge texture for extra claw appeal. Great for scratching, sleeping and playing. I imagine it’d be great to throw around too, if you’re BIG like Harry. Not sure the humans would appreciate that though, 
but they will like it’s elegant good looks.

Now here’s a cool design! If any of our readers are fond of sleeping sinks (you know who you are), well this is just for you! When you curl up in that wonderful, cool, perfectly shaped sink it’s so delicious! But somehow it really seems to annoy the humans (or make them laugh like a drain and start pointing cameras at you – either way, very irritating!)
Well Little Cat Design in the USA have come up with the perfect solution, a cat bed made of ceramic, designed just for the sink lovers among us…
the Cat’s Contour Ceramic Cat Bed.
Isn’t it fabulous? So thoughtful! It was inspired by Buffy the Vampire Slayer a.k.a Buffcat who was spending all her time in the bathroom sink. Her humans wanted more quality time with her and came up with this wonderful idea, give Buffcat her own ceramic bed in the living room.
Amazing! Oh for humans like these!
You can read about how they came up with the design for the ceramic bed here.
You can find the beds here at Little Cat Design.
Need extra funds for that fancy scratching post you’ve been wanting for ages? Well how about doing a little financial investing? Orlando the ginger cat did that and not only made himself some extra funds but he also beat The Observer’s panel of stock-picking professionals in their 2012 investment challenge! How purrfect is that?
The Observer portfolio challenge pitted industry professionals against students from John Warner School and Orlando the cat. Orlando chose his investments by tossing his toy mouse on a grid of numbers. He won! The pros were second and the students last. Excellent mouse skills Orlando!
It certainly is! The snow is cold on the paws here in London so we thought we’d share this with you as it sums up the weather here. A painting of a Burmese friend of ours picking his way thorough the snow with distaste. We think he’s a great model!

Fabulous scratching post! We do love decent cardboard in our house and to be fair, the humans are pretty good at providing it, but sometimes we feel it should be a little more….. sophisticated!
Like this one….
The Sky Scratcher City Skyline pieces have been modelled after two of the largest cities in the USA, Chicago and New York. Made from recycled cardboard and a renewable bamboo, each Sky Scratcher is created without the use of glues or adhesives, so any worn ‘floor’ can easily be replaced. Comes fully assembled and ready to scratch and even has a 2oz bottle of organic catnip spray!
It’s that time of year again. The SOFA exhibition at the Llewellyn Alexander Gallery in London is on from the 23rd of August to the 14th of September 2012.
The private view will be held on Tuesday the 28th of August, 10am to 8pm, with a champagne reception from 12pm – 3pm and the official opening and Friends draw at 2.15
Hope to see you there.
Jessi-Cat the National Cat of the Year winner
Cats are amazing! We knew that already, but being at Cats Protection’s National Cat Awards really brought home just how special they are. As usual the stories were incredibly emotional and all really were worthy winners. The celebrity judges had a tough task but there could only be one top cat in each category and of course an overall winner.
There was also a celebrity cat category won by Simon’s Cat. You can read all about the ceremony and the winners in the October issue of Your Cat magazine.
