Chapter 00 · Our story

Made for cats.
Made for homes.

How Prowlet started — and the one standard behind every piece we make.

Chapter one · The beginning

I've bought more than twenty
cat beds. Not one stayed.

“Cats bring a unique sense of
calm to a home.”

I live with three cats. Katie is eleven, a Siamese, the calm one. Shiny is ten, also Siamese — a blue-point, smaller and sweeter. Eddie is three, a Maine Coon, and always in trouble.

For them I bought twenty-plus cat beds — felt ones, linen ones, space capsules, self-warming ones. Not one of them stayed. At least mine didn't choose the beds I bought for them; they chose boxes, the floor, and my keyboard instead.

So in 2025 I made the first thing myself: Garden Tunnel. Not a bed — a small world.

Chapter two · Our standard

Every piece has to
pass two tests.

A cat actually wants to use it. &
A home actually has room for it.
The Prowlet standard · 2025

These sound obvious — but walk into most pet stores and they rarely appear in the same product. The things cats love are usually ugly; the things that look good are usually ignored. So we don't use one material for everything. Felt where softness and hiding matter. Solid wood where a piece has to hold its own as furniture.

Chapter three · Our promise

Four things we won't
compromise on.

Every product is measured against these four, in this order. If a new piece fails any of them, it doesn't ship.

01
Cat-first

Instinct drives the design. Hiding, scratching, climbing, perching — before aesthetics, before price.

02
Home-worthy

Living-room-ready is the floor, not the ceiling. Every piece should earn its square footage.

03
One does three

A tunnel that's also a bed that's also a scratcher. Fewer objects. More use per square foot.

04
Guaranteed

Need help introducing a new piece? Contact us for tips. Our 30-day return policy applies to unused items with tags and original packaging.

Cats deserve better.
Homes deserve better. That's the whole idea.

Prowlet is still small. I pack the orders myself, answer the emails myself, and go through every product detail before it ships.
