Cats want two things that are awkward to provide at once: somewhere enclosed and dark enough to sleep properly, and somewhere open and raised to keep an eye on the room from. A two-tier house solves it by stacking them. There is a shaded chamber underneath for the deep sleep, an open cushioned top for the watchful doze, and a short hop between the two whenever the mood changes.

The body is worked in a natural rattan-style basket weave, which gives it two real advantages over a fabric cube. It holds its shape rather than sagging into a heap after a few weeks of use, and the open weave lets air pass through, so the lower chamber does not turn stuffy in summer the way a zipped fabric pod does. Both levels have their own soft cushion, and a toy hangs from the frame at roughly head height for a cat lying on the top tier.

• Two levels: an enclosed lower den and an open upper perch
• Woven rattan-style basket construction
• Soft cushion on each tier
• Dangling toy fixed to the frame
• Natural finish suited to a living room
• Single size and single colourway

Who it's for: One-cat households who want a bed that can sit in a living room without looking like pet equipment, and a cat who likes both hiding and watching.
