The Crow’s Nest: High, Tall Cat Tree/Hammock

Description

This cat hammock is meant to be mounted high on the wall to provide your cat with a tall vantage point to look over their kingdom. Cats love to be up high, but for them to get the best spot in the house, they first need to exert some energy and get some much-needed exercise by climbing up the scratching pole or hopping up the attached platforms. We really like this structure because it’s pretty much an indoor tree that takes up very little horizontal space on the wall.

Choose between three different heights and three different hammock lengths to best fit your wall space.

New Cork Pads!

The Crow’s Nest will include our Cork Traction Pads which are designed specifically for our Leaf Shelves. These resilient shelf pads are made from cork fabric with an adhesive backing. The fabric is made with natural cork bonded with a blend of cotton and polyester. This highly durable blend prevents the cork from chipping away like normal cork tends to do on its own. It allows cats to slightly claw into the material for extra grip while being extremely resistant to punctures. Cork fabric is commonly used to make things like handbags, wallets, and shoes. 

We’ve tested the material on a ledge on top of a stairway at home to see the results firsthand and with many months of use, there’s still been no sign of wear and tear!

The reason we developed these was to add traction to our shelving. We’re launching these for two items that are designed as stepping stones your cat can use as they navigate throughout the Condo. 

We offer our Cork Pads in two colors: Natural and Charcoal. They will come with the Crow’s Nest in default colors that match your fabric selection.

Natural Cork: Natural fabric, Clear Vinyl, Fabric of the Month

Charcoal Cork: Charcoal fabric

If you would like a different cork color, please contact us once you have placed your order and include your order number. We can update the cork selection at no additional cost.

Why Cork? 

In addition to providing durable feline traction, cork fabric is a great material to use from an environmental standpoint.  Cork forestry practices are some of the most sustainable forest practices on the planet. Cork’s renewable, biodegradable, and can be recycled without producing any toxic residues.

Cork trees are harvested rather than cut down –  Cork oak trees are hand-harvested every 9 years. The trees have a lifespan of around 300 years. The harvesting process does not harm the tree, making it completely sustainable.

Climate Change & Cork – When a cork tree is harvested, it absorbs CO2, which is a greenhouse gas that causes climate change. After harvest, it will absorb 3-5 times more CO2 than unharvested trees. 34% of all cork oak trees are located in Portugal, which helps offset 10 million tons of carbon every year.

Washing instructions

Cork Pads – We suggest using a cloth dampened with water or making a solution with water and a small amount of soap.

Canvas Fabric – Use a cold, gentle machine cycle or hand wash in cold water. Hang to dry. The fabric may scrunch up a little but will stretch to its original form. Think of how your jeans are a little snugger right out of the wash.

Replacement Sisal Segments

Our Scratching Poles provide a healthy outlet for cats to use their claws. Your cats can scratch and stretch in a constructive setting, keeping your furniture safe!

Bear in mind that although we have the sisal rope glued in place, their purpose is to be scratched which will cause them to show wear and tear over time. These sisal pole sections can be easily replaced by simply removing two furniture bolts, without taking other furniture down from your cat’s wall. If you have a cat who favors scratching, then your segments will be worn through quicker, but this all depends on the activity level of your cat.
