We've been contacted by a customer who is moving home & sadly having to give up their Tomcat 3 - they've kindly offered to donate their unit to a charity or rehoming centre as their first choice but other deserving homes will be considered.

For the first & last time we will be participating in the Hackney WickED DIY Open Studios event, which is part of the London Festival for Architecture & is being held on 29th-31st July. Our doors will be open on the Friday & Saturday & it's probably going to be the last Open Studios event given that the area is about to go through redevelopment displacing a large number of workshops & artists, including us.

Our new Catapilla™ website is now live & the online shop is open.

Our Facebook page is no more but we have just put to together a new cover page to introduce our Hicat®, Scraaaatch™ & Catapilla™ products along with links to our Instagram, Pinterest & Google+ accounts plus newsletter sign-up - all in one place. 

We're sorry to say that we will be closing our Facebook account shortly because of some inexplicable policy enforcement rules.

Just to keep everyone up to date with the nominations for the Catapilla unit we have up for grabs the nominations so far are:

We've finished testing our new Catapilla product so our prototype unit is now up for grabs...

Our cats are an integral part of our R&D & two of the more exotic finishes that they've put through their paces were an imported grey dyed coir from India used on a Fatcat 4/Bobcat & Polecat finished in a Crucial Trading striped wool carpet. 

We've got eight years of blogging to catch up with so here's another piece of Hicat® history.

Workshop collections are rare but customers picking up their Hicat® in a London taxi are even rarer so here's Nicholas picking up his Tomcat 3 in his black cab.

Things have really moved on from when we started looking for an indoor climber for our cat in 2004...

Following on from our first blog showing our cat Leroy scaling the first ever Polecat here's Rocky climbing the latest one...

Our blogging page CHAT is here & we are planning to blog our hearts out across Hicat® news, cat health & fitness, product updates & tips on using our climbers with some trivia & funny stuff along the way.
