We’ve got some big news! This week we’re introducing our brand new line of cat furniture at the Global Pet Expo trade show in Orlando! It’s not yet available for sale, but I wanted you to have the first look at it.
The Hauspanther Collection is a collaboration with our friends over at Primetime Petz. The collection includes four pieces all designed by yours truly with you and your cats in mind.
First, we have Catchall, a multi-function wall-mounted cat scratcher and perch with a plush toy below and toy storage inside. I tried to pack as many features into this one as I could! The perch surface is covered with a thick felt pad and the scratching surface has a top-quality replaceable sisal scratch pad.
Next we have two wall-mounted cat perches, the Step Perch with a vertical sisal scratching pad and a hanging toy, and the Nest Perch with two small steps on the sides, a sunken lounge surface in the middle and two dangling plush toys. Both have the same thick felt pads as the Catchall.
And finally, the Cubitat multi-level cat bed offers two lounge surfaces, one below that’s more like a hideaway and another above that’s a raised lookout. Openings on four sides give cats access from all angles, preventing ambushes. This one also has thick felt pads on both lounge surfaces.
We are planning to offer the collection in white with grey felt pads and espresso with beige pads, as pictured above. This furniture was carefully designed by me and is being manufactured by Primetime Petz in China, a different approach from my usual Made in the USA line of cat toys, but the goal was to make it affordable — and I think we have with projected prices ranging from $49.99 to $69.99!
The Hauspanter Collection will be shown for the first time this week at the Global Pet Expo trade show in Orlando. If you’re attending the show, please stop by the Primetime Petz booth #4759 to see it in person and give us your feedback.
For those of you at home, please leave a comment here and let us know what you think. We’d love to get your opinion on the two color choices and the prices, as well as any other feedback you might have. We’ll have more info about availability in a few weeks and you’ll have a chance to be the first to purchase as soon as it’s available. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
Sleek, modern, multifunctional and affordable – what more could we (cat guardians) ask for! I’m sure they’ll be a hit at the Expo.
Cubitat is just what I’ve been looking for so my boys can look out the kitchen windows without having to sit on chairs. White and grey are the perfect colors, too. Let me know when you start selling them!
These are great. Let me know when they are available so we can feature on our Facebook page

Those look great.
Gorgeous!! Bravo on the price point too!! We are taking care of 14 cats if you would like testers!! LOL
Love all the colors, and the storage is brilliant!
Great job!
I love the new collection! I love both the colors and can’t wait till it’s available!
Great job!
These are awesome! And appreciate the affordability. I especially like the espresso color, but, love the white, too! Be a hard decision. Certainly can tell much thought went into creating these. Can’t wait for them to be available!
I think these are fantastic! Well done! I particularly like the idea of an integrated perch/scratcher/toy storage. I’m always looking for somewhere to stash toys that can’t be easily burglarized. Down the road I might suggest adding a black finish and maybe some bright choices for pad colors – it would likely be more expensive but I bet people would love the chance to customize things to match their home.
Can’t wait for the items to be available!!
Hi Kate,
I love the designs…!!!
My furry children, Thomas and Lucky Maria, have a couple of questions about the pads,
1) What material is used for the pads?
2) Are the pad inserts going to be available for purchase as replacements?
Thank you so much, regards.
Lucky, Thomas & Gaby
Catchalll is a fabulous idea!
I think your new items are brilliant designs. The initial color offerings are fine, but hopefully once production starts you may be able to expand to a more natural color wood with different color inserts.
Regarding Primetime Petz. Love the concept of the perch/scratcher/toybox! I would absolutely buy that. Nice, sleek design is attractive. My kitties would definitely use the scratcher, maybe the perch, and I always need more storage for toys! I hope it comes to market. I have the pagoda cat tree and the “cloud” in white, so I would stick with the white version.
These look great and I especially love the sunken lounge with the two perches on either side because I think it would be perfect under a window! I might have to buy one when they are available!
Any chance of the Cubicat being a bit taller or three levels? It is lovely–so much more attractive than the carpet covered cat towers, but my two like to survey from on high–a set up ironing board is a favorite height.
These are amazing!!!!
LOVE these designs! So glad to see a white/grey combo – tired of beige/brown pet furniture. In the future I’d like to see more free standing pieces. I will definitely be ordering the cubitat!
Kate, you have no more ardent fan than me; your commitment to animal welfare, your passion for design, your insights into animal behavior are among the MANY reasons I sing your praises to the rooftops and beyond. These designs are no exception– clearly a lot of thought went into them.
Your goal of affordability is laudable, but the fact that these were made in China (and it was commendable of you to state that up front) makes this a non-starter for me. Between the animal abuse and human rights abuse and the poisoned foods that have been produced/packaged there, I just can’t.
But that won’t stop me from continuing to tell anyone who will listen that Kate (and Hauspanther) are fantastic.
These products are excellent!
They are beautiful, the colors fit any decor, and the best part…they are affordable! There are many products out there like this, but none as reasonably priced nor as well designed for any home. THANK YOU! I cannot wait to be able to place my order for ALL!
I love the concept of the catchall, it’s perfect to make the best use of space and round up all of the little cat toys that abound. I might worry about the felt pad as I have older cats who tend to vomit or toss hairballs. Could it be replaced like the scratching area material? Would felt be hard to clean and would dark felt show the cat hair? It’s not a material I’ve used before. Could you offer an option of no felt/plain or maybe strips of anti skid material so the cats don’t go sailing off the end if they mis judge the distance? Looks nice, I’m looking forward to seeing the prices and maybe come to the Pet Expo in Dulles, VA?
Prefer the white and gray combination. Love that it is so reasonably priced so those of us on fixed incomes can afford to spoil our furrbabies.
I really like both of the color options. I just want to know if the felt padding is washable or replaceable. The prices are in line with what I spend on cat furniture.
Love the idea of built in toy storage… brilliant! Will definitely be getting one of these once they’re available. 🙂
Love these and love the price, although I hate that you had to go outside the US in order to get it.
Brilliant in every way, Kate! Amazing!
I would LOVE to purchase a perch or two in the grey color! Price point is right on.
I want these! Especially the toy holder! I have no place to put them now.
When I saw the colors and prices, I was all for it.
Cats like to play in what I call “box jungles.” I buy stuff from catalogs, get the cardboard boxes shipped, and then arrange them so the cats can get in them and travel through them. Have you or anybody else invented permanent ones?
I love, love, love the Cat-chall. Tried to do a DIY like it myself. Brilliant idea and good pricing if it was in Canadian dollars ;). Will you be shipping to Canada?
These look PAWESOME! I love the one with the compartment…great place to store the kitties toys to be able to rotate them.
These look great! My only qualm is that they are made in China. I have a hard time trusting Chinese manufacturers when it comes to anything for my cats. Also, I don’t know what these are made of. I’d love to know that they are made from eco-friendly materials or of recycled materials.
I love the white/grey and would totally invest a piece or two. The catchall is a great idea
These look nice. I like that they are multi use for play and rest and hiding and hanging out.
These look AMAZING!!!!! The price seems really affordable and that just tickles me because so many of the ones that are out there right now are so pricey that they are totally out of reach. Especially love the Catchall! Very clever setup. Can’t wait to see these when they become available and definitely have these on our wishlist!
I love the catch all and step shelf. I can’t wait to buy them for the Catfe!
I love the design and I love the price point, However I’m sad that it has to be made in china…
Absolutely love these pieces!!! I like both color combinations. I hope they will be available to the public soon. I esp want the catch-all and the step perch.
I see comments about these products being made in China, and just have to respond. We, too, sell pet products we’ve invented through K-Kat, LLC. As much as we wanted to boast “Made in the USA,” we also had to go to a manufacturer in China. Believe me, we did a ton of research, as I’m sure Kate did, into manufacturers. The retail price of our products would be a minimum 3-4x more if they were made in the USA. Would you seriously pay $80 to $100 for a litter scoop? Didn’t think so. Just because a product is made in China doesn’t mean that it isn’t a very high quality. And not everything made in the USA is top quality, either.
Can you feature there in a beige or brown for those with more traditional furniture? That would be super.
Looking forward to buying one or more, they are sleek and practical without being off-the-chart expensive.
I love these. I would like to see a combo nest perch/catchall or step perch/catchall in the future, maybe in the next line. Because I love the concepts of both of those, the scratcher and toy container, but then also a perch with it would be fun. But I look forward to getting one of the perches soon. Also I would love a beige/brown/espresso color like others have expressed interest in.
