Designer Pillow Bed from Cat Livin’ http://www.moderncat.net/2009/08/04/brand-new-designer-pillow-bed-from-cat-livin/ Modern designs for living with cats Sat, 11 Feb 2012 15:26:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Loora http://www.moderncat.net/2009/08/04/brand-new-designer-pillow-bed-from-cat-livin/comment-page-1/#comment-28348 Loora Sun, 16 Aug 2009 10:45:59 +0000 http://www.moderncat.net/?p=3611#comment-28348 I was about to write about the Ikea fabric too. Neither the form nor the idea is original. This is a no-no for me, sorry. 65$, come on ! Plus, the sewing is oddly placed; I'd try to hide it, because the patterns are so vivid. Here, it's right on top of the cushion (maybe it's to hide the catnip pocket, but then again, it's not impossible to use a matching scrap of fabric, since it's handsewn). I also did some research on polyurethane filling, as I was sewing a similar cushion for my beloved chartreuse. I ended up recycling an old duck duvet pillow, and leaving polyurethane. Depending on the treatment it gets, it may be very inflammable. Its fabrication seems to be highly dangerous and toxic for the environnement. I just wanted to say that this comment is not meant to be agressive, but I'm a bit angry as there's no mention of Ikea. I think that this particular product is not in keeping with the style of Cat Living. I was about to write about the Ikea fabric too. Neither the form nor the idea is original.

You don"t think the 65 dollar price tag is a little steep? I feel they are not very original and wildly overpriced! The owner would have to be on catnip to purchase this !

They are going to be used to show cats for adoption. Maybe they will help some wonderful cats find homes. I am ordering two today. They are going to be used to show cats for adoption.

How is the filling composed? (Whatever it is looks so comfortable!, but we also seek out environmentally friendly products.) Polyurethane is familiar to me as a liquid used to finish wood furniture.

These beds are great; the only thing I'd suggest is some pattern options that don't have white in them. White and pets don't really go together. :) btw, The Climber is great - sorry to see it's not available any longer!

The image of the print was reduced to see the whole pattern. It's much more "FUN" in person! Our three cats love them! Please feel free to order them at www.catlivin.com Best regards, Angela - Cat Livin CEO Stephanie,
