Bespoke Units

Below are some of the bespoke pieces that we've made but because Hicat® products are made-to-order we can make to any customer specific request so if you have something particular in mind then please get in touch

 

SixToo™

 

We’ve fabricated SixToo™ with various Bespoke Features including a very unique feature only possible on this unit - the Access Holes can be positioned at any angle around the unit independently of each other.

Deep Recessed Tops, Peep Holes, Worm Hole Shelves & Private Chamber have all been specified along with shorter than standard & single Access Hole pieces & various Bespoke Finishes including AVM Wool.

 

Tall Bobcat

 

Bobcat units can be fabricated as extra tall units & have additional Access Holes & Shelves included - typically these units are 1000mm tall with two Compartments.

Other Bespoke Features shown include a storage chamber accessed through a Access Hole Compartment along with Deep & Double Deep Recessed Tops - these deeper Recessed Tops allow for a Fat Pad cushion to be placed inside the top but still give a recess to sleep in & the extra depth is also particularly good as a sleeping area for multi-cat households who like to cuddle up. 

Ballast for taller units is increased to around 20kg for 1000mm.

 

Magic Freestanding Fatcat

 

By fabricating a large ballast chamber in our Fatcat we can make a freestanding version of the unit up to 1820mm tall that doesn’t require a Base - the ballast chamber is added through through a shelf or internal lid in the lower Access Hole Compartment.

The same Freestanding Fatcat features & options can be added & but there’s only room for three Access Hole Compartments for 1820mm tall units as the lower section needs to be retained for the ballast chamber.

1820mm tall units have been tested with 40kg of ballast - instead of ballast you also have the option of using a Wall Fixing Kit for these tall Fatcat pieces but not a Base as this requires a special collar to be installed during fabrication to bolt into.

If you’re looking for a standard 2 Access Hole Magic Freestanding Fatcat finished in Natural Coir at 1820mm tall then look no further - our SixToo™ will be spot on & at a much lower price threshold compared to a bespoke piece.

 

XL Fatcat & Bobcat

 

Fatcat & Bobcat are 434mm in diameter but we have made 482mm diameter pieces for a customer who wanted to make sure that his Siberian kitten would never grow out of their bespoke XL Wall Mounted Fatcat & Bobcat units - the same customer also ordered standard diameter Wall Mounted Fatcat & Bobcat sized pieces shortly after one Siberian kitten became two.

 

+3040mm High Units

 

Polecat, Tomcat & Fatcat units can be fabricated taller than the standard maximum 3040mm height up to a ceiling height of 4800mm as a one piece unit finished in Natural Coir, 6m for units finished in AVM Wool.

We always offer a word of caution to customers thinking about ordering extra tall units as climbing to the top won’t necessarily be daunting for your cat but it could be for their pet parents - also, when specifying Climb-Through Compartments on these units there will undoubtedly be large internal spans, which could be difficult for some cats to climb down through.

 

Two Piece Units

Tomcat & Fatcat units can be fabricated as two piece units with a Wrapped End detail between the sections - this is normally to aid delivery or access arrangements into the customers home but is also a handy modification if you need Access Holes to face in different directions like our Catapilla™ unit.

We can also fabricate units in additional sections if required noting that it is not possible to have a climb-through feature where the units join.

 

Sloping Ceiling Units

 

Units can be fabricated with an Angled Top Cap detail so that they can be installed under a sloping ceiling - the Angled Top Cap can be fabricated to match the ceiling angle but please remember that because of this Top Cap detail these units can not be rotated around their central axis like other units.

We can also supply extra long ceiling connectors free of charge to span the gap that's created when a standard unit is installed under a sloping ceiling as an option to the Angled Top Cap detail.

 

Upside Down Units

 

Floor-To-Ceiling Tomcat & Fatcat units can be installed either way up with the addition of an Upside Down Top Cap - this is a neat trick if you want to give your cat a change in climbing options but you do need consider the Compartment & Shelf layout carefully given he unit will be installed either way up.

It’s best to specify Compartments without the Climb-Through or extended spaces with Shelves directly above & below the Access Hole - this means that your cat will always have a place to lounge in the Compartments whether the unit is upside down or not.
