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

If your cat doesn't settle in within 30 days, we'll help make it right.

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.
