The material
Hair doesn't cling to it
A plush bed gets covered within a week and calls for the vacuum. Cotton rope, on the other hand, looks new again after a sweep of the hand. That detail decides whether it stays in the living room.
What really matters day to day
Hair doesn't cling
A plush bed gets covered within a week and calls for the vacuum. Here, a sweep of the hand is enough.
It holds its shape
The braided rope doesn't sag: the rim stays raised, and your cat can rest their head on it.
Natural material
Cotton, nothing else. No foam, no synthetic fibre, no treatment.
It fits in anywhere
Understated enough to stay in the living room rather than end up in a cupboard.
The moment
A bed you leave on show
Most baskets end up hidden because they're ugly or dirty. This one is understated enough and clean enough to stay in the room where you live.
The rim
Somewhere to rest their head
The weave holds its shape and keeps the rim raised. A cat almost always sleeps with their chin propped up: without a rim, they'll go looking for the arm of the sofa.

Where to put it
-
Up high if possible
A cat almost always picks a lookout point. On a low piece of furniture, it will be adopted faster than on the floor.
-
Away from foot traffic
Not in a hallway, and not facing a door that opens.
-
Let them come to it
A familiar piece of fabric inside, and nothing else to do.
Frequently asked questions
What people ask us about the rope basket
What size of cat?
A 39 cm diameter suits an adult cat of standard build who sleeps curled up. A very large cat who likes to sprawl will spill over the edge.
How do I clean it?
A sweep of the hand for hair, a vacuum on low power for the base. Avoid soaking it, as that loosens the weave.
Does the rope come undone?
The weave is tight. If your cat scratches their bed a lot, a dedicated scratcher next to it will stop them going for the basket.
Is there a cushion?
No, and that's deliberate: it's padding that holds on to hair and odours. You can lay a throw in it if you prefer.
The basket that doesn't fill up with hair
Hand-braided cotton, a rim that holds its shape, and two minutes of care a week.
