The Santa Monica Franklin Promenade from Hollywood Franklin is an ingenious solution for allowing cats to climb on existing bookshelves without knocking everything to the floor. These beautiful handcrafted ramps fit onto the edges of standard bookcases, creating a little walkway for kitty to climb. Each ramp is covered with carpet tile to keep kitty from slipping.
The ramps slide onto the edges of the shelves, clamping in place without any adhesive or screws. The ramps are available in three sizes, designed to accommodate common shelf spacing from 8 13/16″ to 11 5/16″. Hollywood Franklin can also create custom Promenade ramps with dimensions to fit your shelves.
The Promenade shelves are recommended for cats up to 18 lbs. Available in three finishes — bleached white, flat black, and dark brown — or in plain MDF for DIY, with six different carpet options. For more details, visit the Hollywood Franklin website.
Clever, simple, brilliant! Don’t forget to screw your bookshelf to the wall first.
It’s a cool idea but unfortunately when I tried to buy a set to traverse our wall full of books and other alluring cubey cat cubby holes via our the Ikea Expedit (Ikea’s square/cube shelved bookcase) I was told it works on all bookcases EXCEPT the Ikea Expedit! 🙁
I have a ton of bookcases and not a lot of great spots for cat trees. This is a fantastic idea.
They’re so ingenious over there at Hollywood Franklin, aren’t they? 🙂
What a GREAT idea!!
Well… as all cats already know… cats are already all of them movie starts. They just also know that they need not ever have had to bother making even one film to be so. 🙂
