Maneki neko means “lucky cat” in Japanese, and any cat who who gets one of these beds sure is lucky. Introducing Neko Habitat, a brand new company from Portland, Oregon, making ultra-modern designer acrylic pet beds.
There are three styles to choose from, the Cradle, the Wave, and the Pan. Each is made from 1/4 inch acrylic. The Cradle and Pan designs have sleek stainless steel legs. The beds come in a variety of translucent acrylic colors which you can mix-and-match with several reversible cushion designs in modern fabrics.
Beds range from $230 to $250 US and are available directly from Neko Habitat.

I find it disappointing that so many cat things are made with plastic. I appreciate it when you feature products that are made with recycled cardboard or wood and sisal. The design of this product is nice, but I would not buy something like this.

Wowser, those look like wonderful beds. Wish we had the money to buy a couple of them but we have to use our money for food for these kitties.
Those are super looking beds.

It’s like cat furniture designers don’t have cats. Is anything made with the best interest of the animal in mind anymore, or just the made to not offend the aesthetic sensibilities of the owner? Cats like rounded, sometimes covered, beds to snuggle in. This is a dog bed.

Very cool! I especially like the curve bed.

The mike nekos (tri-colored or calico cats – considered good luck) in the pictures are so cute. I think maneki neko is more like beckoning cat or welcoming cat, a cat waving like in the little statues – since that’s also associated with good luck, I get that they’re called lucky cats though.

While agreeing with all of the above posters’ comments, I do like the aesthetics of these. My beloved feline family members, however, are quite comfortable on THEIR kingsize bed.

My cat likes to sprawl out. I think he’d love the curve & the pan. It be great if it were bamboo or a similar material instead of plastic. Cool designs though!

最後ã«ã€Â猫ã®差別ã®ãŸã‚Âã®ベッド＠That means, finally, a bed for discriminating cats! (At least that’s what I think it means!) Looks comfy. I wish Neko Habitat made people beds this stylish. It would fit my home beautifully.

Is that made out of plastic? Just asking… I try to have plastic things cause he usually tries to rub his face and get pimples and cuts on his chin.

Gorgeous beds – they would look awesome in any home!
Fantastic concept!

What cute cats! I love the wave bed. Refreshing to see something different.

That is an INSANE price for some bent acrylic and a cushion. Sure, it’s got the stainless steel legs, but then why would I pay a premium price for the legs, which I can barely even see?

Love these beds – gorgeous! My meows love to stretch out and lounge around… I can see them on a Neko bed! It would fit MY style too!

Thoughtful design with cat preferences and needs in mind. Not heavy to move around! I would like to see an acrylic steel enforced cat steps on side to window perch above this cat cave.

@Kate: Yes, they’re called lucky or fortune cats since they are said to bring good luck. Love them and do like your neko beds!
