Benefits: Wool Cat Caves catch your cat's hair; a huge help if your cat is an excessive shedder. The loose hair will stay on the surface of the wool, rather than become entangled in fibers. Cats of all breeds can leisurely reside in their cozy cocoon to remain warm in freezing winters yet keep cool all summer long.
Origin: 40 million sheep currently live in New Zealand, a stark contrast to the 4.9 million human population. Merino is a breed of domestic sheep known for very soft and fine wool. The Merino breed is a short white wool sheep, living up to twenty years, who live high up in the mountains where other sheep would freeze. A healthy Merino needs shearing up to twice a year, producing between 8-10 lbs. of organic wool annually. Medical problems can develop if their fleece becomes overgrown that hinder the ability to regulate their body temperature, which can result in overheating and death. Without food, brushing and rain sheep become sick and no longer produce wool. Therefore, they don't mind sharing their soft and fluffy fleece!
Cats are attracted to Lanolin hotsell Oil, a moisturizing oil produced in the wool of sheep to keep their wool waterproof and odor free. Lanolin Oil has a very slight smell, but nothing overwhelming. New Zealand Merino is known to be the finest and ethically sustained wool on earth. The caves are crafted by Nepalese women using a simple combination of wool from Merino sheep, chemical-free dyes, and liquid soap.
No machines are used in the strenuous and repeated flipping of wool required to begin the felting process. Entry holes outlined simply, and any colors added before the contents are wrapped up with a nylon net. The cave is rolled tightly back and forth for up to sixty minutes before packing with plastic sacks to give the final shape. The cave is then hit, rolled, and pressed repeatedly until the ultimate shape is achieved. The rose gold cat enclosure measures 40cm, ideal for 9lb - 11lb house cats.
Perfect for cats of all ages, and ideal for medium size house cats. Quickly move the lightweight cave anywhere your cat might demand, making it portable. With the fabulous color combination, you'll never worry about your cat's enclosure matching the latest décor.
Maintenance: Use handheld vacuum attachment to remove pet hair, or carefully sponge clean with warm soapy water to reduce pet stains or odors. Fill tightly with plastic bags while wet to reshape if desired. Handle with care for years of enjoyment, avoid washing in machines.
