Are cats independent and curious by nature?
Any cat lover understands that cats are known for their independent and curious nature. However, they also love napping in cozy areas. As a result, many cat owners look for ways to provide their feline friends with comfortable and stimulating environments in which they can play, sleep and relax. This is where the founders of ecokitty.store comes into the picture.
In our pursuit of items made in the US or Europe, we turned to this e-commerce site to see what they offered. The following are some of our favorites.
Check out this swinging yet stable hammock!
For the ultimate relaxation experience, consider getting a cat hammock. These are elevated platforms made of sturdy materials that provide a comfortable and secure space for your cat to rest. Cat hammocks are designed to mimic the feeling of being cradled in a tree, which is a natural instinct for cats.
This Boho Macrame Cat Hammock by Meow Fun is lightweight but sturdy. We think it’s the purrfect boho chic addition to any room, particularly if you’re short on floor space. Put it near an exposed brick wall, or around leafy green house plants for that extra Boho chic vibe.
This Boho macrame cat hammock bed is made of 100% natural high-quality cotton rope; the rope is thick and soft; with a long front and a short back; stable double steel hoop base ; making it easy for cats to jump in/out.
Great for cats who like to curl up. The bottom of the hanging cat bed is supported by a metal frame; it can keep balance and reduce swing. Doesn’t take up any floor space which is great if you’re tired of cat trees; cat houses and climbing posts taking over floor space in your place. The Boho macrame cat swing bed can become a lovely decor in your home plus a great snuggle place for your cat(s). It includes a soft cushion mat for the base so your cat will snuggle in comfortably.

Do cats crave security and Should Sustainable Cat Furniture matter?
Cats are often skittish or nervous, and seek small places to escape into. This recharges their battery and reinforces a sense of calm. If you give them a place devoid of harsh chemicals, fabrics, and materials, their nervous systems will be further enhanced by the non-invasive fumes or odorless offenders.
That’s why we think this Dharma Dog/Karma Cat Petal Basket Bed is the perfect refuge for the unsettled kitty.
Made from New Zealand and Tibetan wool, this wet-felting basket is great for both for cats and small dogs, up to 14 lbs.
The roomy 20 basket is perfect for larger pets, up to 25 lbs, or a couple of average size cats/toy dogs or a whole litter of kittens or puppies. Cats will have as much fun playing with their toys in it as sleeping.

Can a Cat House Be Sustainable?
Did you know one of the most popular types of cat furniture is a cat house. A cat house is a small shelter designed specifically for cats to provide them with a private and secure place to retreat. Cat houses can be made of various materials such as wood, plastic, and fabric, and come in different shapes, sizes, and designs.
Some cat houses are elevated off the ground to mimic a treehouse-like experience for cats. Others are designed to fit into corners or small spaces. Some cat houses even have multiple levels or compartments to cater to the preferences of different cats.
We admit, this was hard to find sustainable options, but here are some….
Scratching posts are essential for cats as they help maintain their claws and satisfy their natural urge to scratch. Climbing trees provide cats with an outlet for their innate desire to climb and explore. Cat tunnels offer a fun space for play and can also serve as hiding spots during nap time. Perches allow cats to observe their surroundings from a high vantage point while also providing a cozy spot for them to rest.
