This month's stock item is a Freestanding Fatcat 4 finished in Bleached Coir with Black Twist Pile internals - this unit comes with W2, W3 & W4 Worm Hole Shelves plus Worm Hole Bird Nest, which have been staggered at alternate 90° rotation from standard. 

The Polecat & Scraaaatch Stand Pipe that were recently installed at Lady Dinah's Cat Emporium have gone down a treat with the cats, staff & customers alike.

We've been working on a photoshop image that knits together photos of our cats taken a few years ago - the idea was to create a homepage screenshot that sums up what it's like to climb & play on a Hicat®.

This month's stock item is a Bobcat 2 finished in a Natural Herringbone Coir with Black Twist Pile internals - this is the first time we've used a herringbone weaved coir on our units & it makes up really well. 

We've recently been contacted by Jennifer, a cat owner based in the US, who has adopted a declawed cat called Salomé & asked if we know of other cats with their front claws removed safely climbing our units.

Our Pad & Fat Pad cushions really up the comfy stakes when added to Access Hole Compartment or in a Recessed Top.

We've imported various samples of a new grey coir finish for our units & settled on a hue that's similar to the original Concrete Coir that we imported in 2010 - we think it's a great alternative to our standard coir finishes it & will give our units a very distictive look, similar to our former Tibet Wolf Wool finish that was available as a bespoke finish.

This month's stock item is a Wall Mounted 5 High Catapilla™ finished in a Bleached/Natural Coir combination with White Twist Pile internals - the unit can be configured with the Body sections in different combinations & rotated independently of each other in any direction.

We are now up & running in our new studio...everything has slotted into place nicely & it's a wonderful space to be working in.

We are nearly back up & running in our new studio at the Alaska Buildings so things should be back to normal next week - we've already updated the Hicat® website with various tweaks along with re-opening the Scraaaatch™ & Catapilla™ online shops, which now offer shipping for our EU customers.

This month's stock item is a Wall Mounted Fatcat 4 finished in Bleached Coir with White Twist Pile internals - this was the last unit that we made at our Wallis Road workshop before it closed last month.

We've found a new HQ for making our Hicat® products & are going to be based in Southwark, just south of Tower Bridge in London.

This month's stock item is a Catapilla™ finished in Bleached Coir with Coloured Twist Pile internals - it's made up of a Purple Body+ unit & Green, Orange & Pink Body units.

Just a very quick but big THANK YOU to everyone who's emailed notes of support or Tweeted sweet things about us following the news of our temporary workshop closure...

We are very sorry to say that the Wallis Road building that has been our home since 2008 was sold recently & we have been told unexpectedly that we need to vacate by the end of the month.

Some of you will remember our special grey Concrete Coir finish that we imported a few years ago - this finish went down really well with our customers & we've been on the look out for a replacement ever since.

We've just received this photo from Ailsa in London & wanted to share it.

We started a design exercise a few years ago for a Cat's Cradle accessory to use with Polecat - the idea was to come up with a platform that could be retro-fitted to the unit to give some perching & sleeping options.
