Wool is surprisingly regarded as a material for the winter. Snuggled on the sofa with cable knit throws and cushions. Or as a luxury item such as Cashmere. Wool is ubiquitous in everyones wardrobe including probably your pets, but now you can let your pet enjoy its qualities in Spring with the latest designs in comfortable pet furniture. The reality is that wool is perfect for all year round and for a myriad of applications. It is how the wool is used that dictates its usefulness, and its purpose. . 

At ally & kat we pride oursleves on sourcing the most design led eco pet products in the world.  We have discovered a beautiful range of wool pet beds from a designer in Australia.  As the only UK distributors we are proud to bring this incredible range to our customers. 

The wool has been hand pressed into felt by a tribe in the Himalyas. The wet felting process is popular among crafters and artisans globally for its ability to produce items of great strength and organic shape requiring little or no technology or chemicals. The process and end product is green in its entirety. 

The results here are two innovative , stylish and comfortable designs for cats and dogs .

The first pet bed displayed is a futuristic but snuggly pod. Handmade using the wet felting process. the Sogno pod is a modern yet comfortable secure haven for your pet.  

The second pet ded is a cushion based basket. This offers two solutions for your pets comfort in one. 

The modern design of the bed itself would not look out of place on the cover of Vogue.  Contrast stitch handles. Deep sides and spacious interior. Any pet would find it the ideal , safe haven for 

relaxation and rest or a fun hiding place. 

The cushion provides a funky alternative to conventional pet beds. The beds are grey as standard with contrasting cushions available in yellow, orange, green (shown) , light grey and dark grey (shown). 

Both designs shown are avaialble instore at ally & kat or click shop at the top of this page. 

The chair featured is a stunning statement piece from UK retailer Alexander and Pearl. The stylish Townhouse wing chair is upholstered in a deluxe grey, wool check fabric. This check wing chair will suit a library or home study.

Stop reading this if you are a cat owner who doesn't believe that cats are magical. 

I bet you are all still here!

Cats have powers. Just look into a cat's eyes, you are looking into eons of culture and history, stretching back to when Egyptians revered them as Gods. Consider the mystery of cats as familiars of witches and warlocks as a symbol of  magic and don't forget superstition and  the luck of  black cats. 

And what's with the nine lives thing?

I had a cat that had the power of  invisibility... Kimba  could disappear in the blink of an eye without a sound  -  even when I was watching her. 

1. Your cat apparently survives on fresh air. They haven't eaten any food you give them but they have still put on weight. 

2. You left them in the kitchen and closed all the doors when you went to bed ... but your cat still manages to be sleeping on your head by 5am in the morning.  

3. The nine lives thing. 

4. The falling on their feet thing.

5. They can run vertically up the wall, curtains and blinds. (Although they may have trouble getting down) 

6. They know exactly where to grab you on the inner thigh to make you beg for mercy and give them whatever they want.

9. You haven't seen a spider since the cat moved in.  

10. Look at a unicorn butterfly rainbow kitten and tell me that isn't magical!
