Natural Cotton Cat Beds and Toys by Gerda Lobo Exclusively for Moderncat Studio

At Moderncat Studio, we love experimenting with different materials, especially all natural materials like cotton. We have two new creations, designed and made by guest designer Gerda Lobo, that I know you and your cats will love. First is the Cuna cat bed, crocheted with soft, thick cotton piping. The curved sides are perfect for snuggling and the textured surface is immediately attractive to cats. Measuring 15 inches across and 3.5″ tall, the Cuna cat bed fits cats up to 15 lbs. comfortably, as Gerda’s cat Stanley is demonstrating below.

Next we have the Patada kicker cat toy. Kitties love big toys for grabbing and kicking, and that’s just what these toys are designed for. Each Patada (Spanish for “a kick”) is crocheted using natural cotton twine that will stand-up to kitty’s roughhousing. The Patadas are lined with cotton muslin and filled with a sturdy foam insert. Measuring 5.5 inches long by 2 inches in diameter, the Patada kicker toy is the perfect size for a kitty wrestling match.

Both the Cuna cat bed and the Patada kicker toy can be machine washed. The bed can go in the dryer and we recommend air drying the toy. Cuna and Patada are available from the Moderncat Studio Etsy shop, Cuna is $45 and Patada is $12.

Circle Scratch Cardboard Cat Scratcher with Designer and Vintage Fabrics

Cats love cardboard scratchers, but you may not love how they look sitting on your living room floor.

The center scratch pad can be flipped over for twice the use, or it can be easily replaced. Non-skid feet keep Circle Scratch in place on hard floors so kitty can give it a good workout.

Overall the Circle Scratch measures 11.5” in diameter and 2” tall and the inner scratch pad measures 10” in diameter. The Circle Scratch comes with one round cardboard scratch pad. Replacement scratch pads are made by Bergan and are available for purchase in packs of 2 online or at most major pet product retailers.

Wave: Modern Door-hanging Cardboard Cat Scratcher

Cats love to scratch cardboard, but why settle for a plain old cardboard scratcher? Wave is a sleek door-hanging cardboard scratcher that looks more like modern art than a cat product. In addition to being stylish, Wave is also eco-friendly and cat-friendly.

Natural Textures: Jute Bombs & Sally Sisal Mouse

Cats love to chew on course, natural textures and these two little toys are the perfect combination of texture and fun.

Sally Sisal Mouse

Sally Sisal Mouse is a toy for eco-conscious cats. This little mouse is made of 100% natural sisal rope, a texture that’s meant for chewing and rubbing! And Sally is just the right size and weight for tossing about. Kitty can grab Sally’s ear or tail and send her flying across the room, only to pounce on her moments later. Sally Sisal Mouse’s body measures about 3.5 inches long. Each one is a little different, since they are handmade.

Jute Bombs

Our Jute Bombs will have kitty leaping and pouncing all over the place! Each natural jute sphere has a rocket tail to help it sail through the air. The kitty-sized spheres are the perfect size for tossing and carrying around plus kitty will love rubbing her gums on the course jute rope. I guarantee this toy will be in a different place when you wake up in the morning! Each sphere is approximately 1 inch in diameter and the rocket tails measure about 1.5 inches.

Both are designed by Kate Benjamin.

Sally Sisal Mouse is $5 and the Jute Bombs are $3 each. Both are available from the Moderncat Studio Etsy Shop.
