The Refined Feline A-Frame Scratcher Bed

Description

Perhaps you're the bookish sort. Maybe your cat is, also. If so, this particular fancy cat bed will likely be just the right kind of fancy for you - I mean... does it not beg... does it not scream... does it not demand, entreat, insist on being placed into a private library or study? ...Cough... er... Well, I think it does, anyway. With a unique A-frame design and deep espresso color, this particular item has a certain stylish, refined quality that would actually work well in just about any room.

What makes this piece especially interesting is that it has three distinct uses. To start, of course, it works as a cozy bed, with its snug enclosure and plushy cushion. Second, the outside wall boasts a sizable sisal scratching pad. Finally, this bed can be placed nearly anywhere in the room, but it fits especially well beside a couch, where it also acts as an end table. As far as fancy cat beds go, that's not too shabby, huh? The whole thing measures at around 23.5"x28"x"15, while the scratch board comes in close to 20"x20", and the cushion comes to 11.5"x23.5"x1".

• May be a little too small for multiple cats

Final Thoughts

To my eye, this is a very classy-looking piece. It's also quite sturdy overall, and plays a number of really useful roles. On the downside, though, assembly might be a bit of a pain, as the directions seem a little unclear.

It also serves a lot of functions - from cat bed, to storage unit, to additional sitting space - so even if your kitty isn't a fan, it could still be put to good use.

Paws & Purrs Modern Pet Sofa

Description

All right, so I may be toeing the line between fancy cat beds and farcical cat beds on this one, but come on... what could be fancier than a miniature replica of your own sofa? But all hilarity aside, this piece of actual, honest-to-everything, furniture is a beautiful thing. Made up of a creamy neutral-colored upholstery, and soft, thick foam cushions, this very modern cat bed will fit in perfectly with most decors. The overall size of this couch measures 31.5"x19.5"x15.5", while the seat itself is around 25.5" wide and 17" deep.

Pros

• Excellent for multiple cats
• Seat cushion is zippered on, meaning you can easily remove it for washing
• Really excellent quality

Cons

• May be a bit too large for smaller living spaces
• Light color can stain fairly easily or quickly accumulate dark-colored fur
• This piece is comparatively quite heavy, weighing around 18 pounds

Final Thoughts

This has to be my very favorite thing. I can't deny it. It's a tiny couch... a tiny, wee couch for my tiny, wee kitties. Eeeeeh! Ahem... you'll have to pardon me. I must remain professional about this. As you can tell, this particular item truly is a miniature piece of furniture. It is well made, and can withstand a good deal of use, which, as you know, is hugely important when it comes to pets. It is also pretty aesthetically pleasing, and can fit as-is in most spaces. On the downside, it is a bit large for smaller areas, and may be tricky to keep clean due to its light upholstery. That said, you may find that you need to get a little creative with homemade slipcovers or protective blankets.

Conclusion

There are all sorts of fancy cat beds on the market, and why not? When it comes down to it, just because you have a pet, it doesn't mean that your home has to be covered in garish colors or wild pet-themed patterns. Nope. You can keep both your cat and your classy home!
