Why cats need height
A warm-wood arc pairs well with rooms where mid-century or Scandinavian furniture already sets the tone. The wider 37cm platform gives cats more room to settle than a standard shelf, and elevated resting places are a widely cited enrichment factor for indoor cats.

The making of itThe story behind the piece, and why we chose it
Watch your cat find their favourite spot all over again. A shelf like this becomes theirs within minutes: the place they survey the room from, the perch they retreat to when the house gets busy, the ledge that finally stops them commandeering yours.
Cat's Atelier craft each shelf by hand in their Polish workshop, cutting the gently curved silhouette from beech plywood, a material chosen for its strength-to-weight ratio and the clean, warm grain that sits beautifully against painted walls. The soft, organic shape is not incidental: it is the result of careful design decisions made by people who understand that a cat shelf should look as considered as the room it inhabits.
Beech plywood holds its form under years of daily use and carries the weight of even the most determined jumper without flex or creak. Because each shelf is made to order in a small independent workshop, yours is cut, finished and checked individually before it leaves Poland, and that lead time is the only proof you need that shortcuts were never part of the process.
Why we chose this
Cat's Atelier prove that a wall-mounted cat shelf can be a genuinely beautiful piece of furniture, and this softly shaped 60cm design is the one we keep coming back to.

The shelf is constructed from beech plywood, selected for its consistent grain, structural rigidity and smooth finish. Beech plywood is notably resistant to warping and holds fixings securely, making it well suited to a bracket-mounted perch that takes repeated impact and the full weight of a cat landing at speed.
On top sits a full-length cushion with a removable, washable cover, in a choice of seven fabric colourways. The wood finish is chosen separately.
CareCleaning and everyday care
Wipe the surface with a lightly dampened cloth to remove dust or paw prints, then dry immediately. Avoid prolonged moisture and do not use abrasive cleaners, which can lift the finish. Inspect wall fixings periodically to ensure they remain secure, particularly during the first few weeks after your cat has claimed the shelf as their own.

How to Plan Your Cat's Climbing Route
A single shelf is a good start. A proper route, one your cat climbs from the floor with confidence, only needs a few planning basics.
- Start from the floor. The most reliable route needs no furniture at all: a short run of steps leading up to a perch works in every room, for every cat.
- Think in three bands — a low launch point up to about half a metre, a middle climbing band up to around a metre and a half, and a high vantage perch above that with a clear view.
- Space each step around 20 to 30cm apart, so every move is an easy step rather than a jump.
- Just don't stack steps directly on top of one another. Beyond that, arrange them however suits your wall, diagonally, in a diamond, a triangle, or staggered from side to side.
- Most rooms need three to five pieces to build a comfortable floor-to-perch route.
- A window is a popular spot for a shelf, giving your cat the view and the natural light to watch the room from.
- Two cats, two routes. Where space allows, give each cat its own way up rather than one shared route with a single pinch point.
- Easy to fix. Every piece comes with concealed fixings and full fittings, and mounts securely to masonry or a plasterboard wall with studs.
