Divan cat cushion

Feedback from a satisfied customer

This customer letter, including the pictures, arrived in the mail today and made us extremely happy:

Dear pet.interiors team,

Thank you very much also on behalf of my 4 cats for the great divan cat cushion and the replacement cover. We were all very happy about it and tested everything straight away. As always, best quality and outstanding comfort…

Exactly the right thing for my rascals, as three of the four are already over 10 years old and are basically in advanced cat age. There’s a pinching and aching in your bones. And since a cat sleeps almost all day, it should also lie comfortably. My Lucky had a herniated disc a year ago and had to have surgery. She particularly enjoys the comfort of the cat bed.

The youngest cat, Mikesch II, also appreciates the advantages of the pillows. It has the most space as a “half portion”. She immediately noticed that it was particularly easy to sleep on.

The cat beds are also very visually appealing. Thanks to the wide range of colors, there is something to suit every taste and every home furnishing.

I placed the first two cat cushions outside in the garden and I have to say that they held up very well despite the wind and weather. The covers are very easy to wash, especially if you have covers to change :-). The sun has faded the color a bit, but it’s even and so it’s not noticeable. Since the cushions are actually only intended for the inside of the house, I used them for a slightly different purpose. But the cats loved the pillows. Especially on colder evenings, because the covers are cozy and warm.

I didn’t wash the inner pillow and its contents; to be honest, I didn’t dare do that because the washing machine was so full with the large pillows that I had to take the pillow out again. I was afraid that there would be no room for the water in the drum. But washing the covers is enough.

Cat cushion Divan

The Divan cat cushion is ideal for outdoor use.

I am very happy with your cat cushions, they look very nice and are well received. Even if they have a price, they are worth every euro! I am sure that I am making a valuable contribution to the health of my cats, because lying down in a way that is gentle on their joints is good for everyone. And if the cat is happy – then the person is happy too!

With this in mind, thank you again for the great service and the wonderful products. And all of this in the name of Kimba, Blacky, Lucky and Mikesch II. And in the name of the neighboring sparrows, who sometimes lie on it when no one is looking.​

 

 

Best regards

Max the cat is a real Rambo!

A customer story:

Max is actually a very sweet, cuddly and affectionate cat. But he also has a darker side. He is the proud owner of a Rondo Stand scratching post in felt. Now we have to reorder the Rondo back cushion.

Max hammers the back cushion out of the Rondo several times a day and also at night, dragging it around the entire apartment, growling violently, in order to cover the four food bowls with it in the kitchen. And all of this just to block his sister Mara’s access to the food.

The once beautiful pillow has mutated into a corroded, battered, undefined something. We would rather not take the desolate pillow away from our Max, but instead discreetly replace it with a new one. To be on the safe side, we prefer to order two of them at once.

Dear Ms. Meyer, but otherwise we are very happy with our sugar snails…

A note from me: The back cushion covers the back wall well and sits very tightly in the Rondo pet bed. Little Max has to use a lot of energy and a lot of strength to get the pillow out of his cat bed. But you can also see from the pillow that brute force is used

Dog cookies that are also very tasty for cats

Sep 13, 2024 | Cats, Dogs, General, Recipes

Ingredients:

  • 200 g wholemeal spelt flour
  • 50 g soft rolled oats
  • 40 g grated cheese, e.g. Pecorino or Parmesan
  • 50 g butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 eggs

 

Preparation:

Mix the flour with the rolled oats and cheese. Mix the butter with the olive oil and eggs until creamy and then knead in the flour mixture until you have a smooth dough that is easy to roll out. Cut out shapes from the dough or simply cut diamonds. The pieces should be quite small for the cat, as the cookie is difficult to break into small pieces when baked. Bake in the oven at 180° for about 20 to 30 minutes.

  • Leave the cookies to dry out well overnight and then store in a tin in a dry place.
  • The recipe makes approx. 350 g of cookies.
  • The cookies will keep for at least 8 weeks.

PS: The recipe is originally for dogs. Our cat Gisela reacted very passionately to the cookies and now always gets her own portion baked.

3 Siamese in the cat house

Sep 10, 2024 | Cats, Customer stories, General

3 siamese in the cat cave

1st day feedback shortly after delivery:
We picked up the cushion this afternoon. As soon as we put it in the Poopoopeedo at home, three of our six cats were already in it.
The fleece fabric is nice and warm, which they love, and the cave itself is also wonderfully warm. Just right for our Siamese. Sometimes it can’t be warm enough. The latex cushion makes a high-quality impression on me. So, like our cats, I am completely satisfied!

 

Day 2:
It’s absolutely conceivable that there are cat magnets in the cushions, because so far the cats haven’t been able to get out :-)) Wonderful!
By the way, I’ve been browsing your website for a while because I had my eye on the cat cuddle bag, but then I decided to focus on converting the Poopoopeedo. So you will definitely be hearing from me again.

 

Day 3:
I don’t think I need to mention that the three of them are back (or still) in the den, sleeping and snoring :-)) In the meantime, I even have to put their food bowl inside. Well, what don’t you do…..

Cats and the heat – cooling down your furry friend

Aug 14, 2024 | Cats, General

In the heat of summer, a cool shady spot under trees is ideal for your house cat.

Cats and heat. How do I cool down my cat?

As descendants of steppe dwellers, our cats love warmth and summer. Unlike their ancestors, heat is not all that good for your cat. Hot summer days are a big challenge for your house cat. You can read here how you can make life bearable for your house cat in summer and cool down your cat.

How do cats cope with high temperatures?

As a rule, cats react to heat with lethargy. They move much less in hot weather and look for a cool, shady place to retreat to. This only helps to a limited extent when it is too hot. Cats have far fewer sweat glands than humans and therefore cannot regulate their heat balance by sweating. Like dogs, cats try to cool down by panting. They also groom themselves more often because saliva moistens their fur and provides evaporative cooling.

Our tips will help you to make your house cat as comfortable as possible in hot temperatures.

Keep your fur moist to keep cool.

As already mentioned, cats use the evaporative coolness of their saliva to cool down. Help your house cat by moistening a washcloth and stroking your cat’s fur. It also helps to stroke the cat with wet hands every now and then. The positive side effect is that the cat grooms itself less and loses less fluid through saliva.

Make sure there is a shady and cool place.

Outdoor cats will independently find suitable, shady places to retreat to in the garden. It is a little more difficult for house cats in the house. A cool place in the basement or on the tiles in the bathroom is a good option. There are also special cooling mats for animals. These are self-cooling and dissipate heat very well. Airing out in the early morning and late evening also helps to cool down the living room. Shade the apartment during the day with roller shutters and blinds. Ideally, your house cat has a balcony secured with a net, where it can find a shady spot under plants. Please pay attention to the plants, as many of the widely used ornamental plants are poisonous to our cats. Here you will find an article on the subject of poisonous plants and a list to download. Setting up fans is not suitable. Cats can quickly catch conjunctivitis from the constant draft.

Adjust the outdoor time to the outside temperature.

If possible, cats should stay indoors during the worst of the midday heat. The risk of suffering heat stroke or sunburn is greatest in the strong summer heat at midday. If possible, make sure that your cat only stays outside in the early morning and late evening. Most house cats sort this out on their own, just make sure that the cat has access to a cool place in the house at all times.

How do I recognize heat stroke in my cat?

If the body temperature rises above 39°C and the animal shows restless behavior, this indicates heat stroke. Dark red gums, heavy panting and apathetic lying on the stomach are further signs. If you see these signs, you should see a vet immediately.

The right food is also important so that the cat can tolerate heat better.

As is well known, cats don’t like to drink much. That’s why it’s advisable to offer wet food on hot days. This will help with fluid intake. During particularly hot days, your house cat needs less food than usual, as calorie consumption drops due to reduced physical activity. Give your pet food in small portions spread out over the day. Clear away any leftovers straight away. The food spoils quickly on hot days and you will otherwise attract flies.

How do I encourage my cat to drink?

Drinking on hot days is much more important than the right food. To ensure that the cat drinks enough fluids, place lots of water bowls in and around the house and apartment. If your cat doesn’t like drinking, you can put some tuna infusion in the water bowl to add flavor. Unseasoned chicken broth also flavors the water and encourages drinking. Some house cats love to drink from indoor fountains or the faucet. A water fountain in the living room also ensures a good indoor climate.

Are insects and parasites more dangerous in summer?

Check your outdoor cat daily and remove ticks, fleas or mites immediately. Other insects are also unpleasant in summer. But don’t use insecticides because cats are very sensitive to insecticides. It’s better to equip your home with fly screens to keep the stinging pests outside.
