We are always on the lookout for cool modern cat furniture. The heinous carpet covered cat furniture of years ago is a thing of the past thanks to companies like The Refined Feline that make gorgeous cat climbing trees like the Lotus Cat Tree, as well as cat beds and cat furniture.
Poly rattan is durable and non-toxic and unlike whicker is will not break if clawed - however, it has the gorgeous look of whicker.
There's also a soft machine washable cushion with removable cover.
The cats were immediately attracted to it and ended up jumping into it all by themselves - you can see more of their initial reaction below in the videos of the opening/introduction process.
When it is time to add to or start your Ragdoll family the question of whether or not to adopt a kitten or rescue an older Ragdoll always arises. Those who rescue older Ragdolls are true godsends, but nothing is cuter than a beautiful little ball of fluff that is a kitten.
If you decide on a kitten then you must decide whether it will be a show cat or not. This will help you decide on a breeder versus other avenues to locate a kitten. While not all kittens from breeders will be show cats some breeders are better known for show cats then others.
Kittens and older cats can also be found at local shelters or rescue organizations if you are willing to look. Call or go online to see if any Ragdolls are available. Remember Ragdolls are often mistaken for other breeds.
No matter what you decide to do as far as a cat or kitten make sure your home is ready for the newest addition. Have a cat window bed for your new friend to relax in and maybe a lotus cat tree to scratch on. A few cat snacks are never a bad idea either. Enjoy your new addition.
I own a Blue Lynx Mitted Ragdoll named Bootsie. He is and has been my best friend though a number of hard times and during all the good times. I give Bootsie everything he could ever want including three cat gyms, a Lotus cat tree, and two cat climbing trees. Bootsie is truly pampered and spoiled, but he is worth every bit of effort that is used to make him happy.
Bootsie is aging and so far he has done so gracefully, but the vet reminded me that I should be concerned with his digestive health as well as taking care of all his outside needs. I agreed and started looking online for something that could make sure my feline friend's insides were as well cared for as his outside. I came across Sedona Labs iFlora Probiotic and knew that my search was over. Sedona Labs created a powder that contains iFlora Probiotics that can easily be mixed into Bootsie's wet or dry food and go straight to work on his digestive health.
I expect Bootsie to be around for many more years so I want to make those years as happy and healthy as possible. I think iFlora Probiotics will become a normal part of our routine so that Bootsie will be as healthy as possible.
I have always liked the idea of having our two Ragdoll boys elegantly positioned around our living room as sort of living sculptures! They are so beautiful to watch I think they really add something to the room. However, it was very difficult to find "cat furniture" which is as elegant as they are. That was until I discovered the "Lotus Cat Tree" made by "The Refined Feline". As soon as I saw it on the website I knew it would be perfect for our living room. Luckily there was an australian distributor and I ordered one straight away.
When the tower arrived the cats took to it right away. They were climbing in and out of the "box" at the bottom and jumping on the platforms before I had even finished putting it together!
It is a wonderful addition to our house. It really fits in with the decor in our living room perfectly and the cats won't stop sitting on it!
