Q:What are we?

A: A very small company which has made cat furniture for 22 years. 

Q: Where are we?

A: Downingtown, Pennsylvania - between Philadelphia and Amish country.

Q: How long does it take to make one of those things?

A: 22 years. And the owner's hands finish each piece and inspect for quality.

Q: What makes your products better?

A: We manufacture primarily as orders are received. Your order is made FOR YOU. It is made slowly and with LOVE - like a great meal! In fact, Tommy, the owner, does a good bit of the cooking.

Also, on taller models with beds and platforms, we use tubes that have at least a 3/8" wall. This is at least 133% of the thickness of Armarkat (click to compare). This other supplier also uses PLASTIC PLUGS on the tubes. We use ONE  & 1/2" deep pine wood plugs in our tubes. Be very careful about the materials that your supplier uses. 

Q: I suppose you have a lot of cats, huh?

A: Yeah. If 3 is a lot. Cheer up, you'll be down to 3 one day, too.

Q: How big is the base on that thing?

A: Big. Big enough that it makes SENSE. Just look at the little bitty bases on some of the stuff in the warehouse store!

Also, we use either plywood or OSB board. Much of the cat furniture sold nationwide uses particle board. This material is prone to breaking. And you will not be able to patch it up once it is broken.

Here is the moral of the story: If it is cheap, it must be cheap.

A Comparison

	US	them
The actual maker of the cat furniture?	Yes	not always. Many are middlemen
Written Guarantee	Yes. 90 days	?
Years in business?	20+	who can say?
Shipping Container?	Heavy-duty double wall**	take your chances
Carpet?	We choose the thickest, plushest we can find. And the colors are fresh and COMMITTED* (even the beiges!).	Superstores often have hideous (is that word strong enough?) and/or washed-out colors and very skimpy carpet. Some manufacturers don't even use carpet.
Tubular Components (on models with beds & platforms)	Click for a side-by-side comparison of our tube vs. a leading Chinese imported brand
Who ackowledges my order?	Tommy, the owner	You can bet it's not the owner
Do you really appreciate my business?	Your order is crucial to our survival. We want your business, and will strive to deserve your return business. You will see a level of appreciation that means business.	Yes, they do. And their whole family back home in Asia does too.

* committed, as in "not just kind of blue!"

**EXCEPTIONS: the Flying Tee and our horizontal scratchers are wrapped in heavy-duty plastic. Pet Hair Wizards and Video Catnip are shipped in standard boxes or Tyvek envelopes.

Q: How do I know I will like the color you send?

A: Although we offer a limited choice of colors, each specific roll of carpet is

PERSONALLY SELECTED

by the owner. We do not pretend to know your individual tastes, but we do our best to send you something we would have in our own house. If you really prefer a burgundy or a black, let us know.

Q: I 'm looking for something that you are not offering here. What else do you make?

A: After 2 decades, LOTS of other stuff. What is it that you want? Please give a little detail.

Q: Why does your stuff cost more that the pet superstore?

A: It doesn't necessarily cost more, but they are a huge buyer, and need to purchase a mass-produced line of cat furniture. If you compare quality and design, we feel that you will want to buy from us.

Q: Will I be glad I bought from you?

A: No. Your CAT will.
