The Cat Caravan is a stylish and sturdy cat playhouse made of cats' favorite material: cardboard.
It is designed to encourage play and offers cats a secure space to nap and relax. The most important feature however is that the play box is actually playable -- it is sturdy and robust to allow some wild games, yet it looks refined and modern. It was important to Merle Busch and Bettina Frohn -- the brains behind the Cat Caravan -- that they design a product which has this defined functionality; most play boxes out there break apart when cats try to enter (and they should know, as they have tested most of them).
