Retired Napa Valley wine barrels recycled and re-purposed into wall-mounted cat beds are more fun than a barrel of monkeys – and more sustainable as well.
Kittens Uncorked
Who says wines and felines don’t mix? Well, beyond the obvious (please do NOT let your pets drink alcohol!), the 100% recycled Wine Barrel Cat Wall Bed is an ideal pairing of all things furry and fermented.
Wooden You Know It!
The Wine Barrel Cat Wall Bed is made from a section of a retired Napa Valley wine barrel. The rough edges of both the aged oak wood and forged steel bands are filed smooth, and a pair of hidden heavy-duty mounting hooks are installed to ensure the bed remains affixed to any vertical wall, interior or exterior. The above image, courtesy of Flickr member Jim G, shows similar wine barrels in use at the Hess Collection Winery in Napa, California.
Pet Potable
According to the CatsPlay Cat Furniture Superstore, the mounted bed “holds even our heaviest cat (28 pounds, he is just a BIG kitty).” The bed is sold as a package that includes the recycled wine barrel shelf, a set of washable cat bedding, all required mounting hardware and screws, “plus a bunch of extra goodies from the shop, our treat.” We’ll drink to that… after we (or our cat) sleep on it, mind you.
