Despite the common notion that cats are aloof creatures, they can be clingy at times too. And if you’re a cat mom or a cat dad, then you certainly know how these instances often coincide with your work schedule. Well, that’s probably more noticeable now than ever since many of us are working from home. So, if your feline friend’s clinginess is starting to get in the way of your productivity, then The Loveseat might just be what you and your pet need.
Unlike its namesake, this furniture piece is designed to accommodate you and your fur baby. It features a cozy armchair and a large cat exercise wheel, so you and your cat can “bond in a way that makes sense for both of you.” It’s designed by the Pittsburgh-based pet furniture brand Catham City which was founded by Beth Horneman and Stephan Verkaik. Horneman is a cat mom herself, so she perfectly understands the need for felines to spend quality time with their humans.

The Loveseat brings you and your feline friend close together without invading your personal space, so you can stay productive
Aside from keeping you and your pet close to each other even as you work, this unique furniture piece also motivates your cat to get active. Since the exercise wheel is situated just beside your chair, this will encourage your fur baby to use it more often. It measures 38.5″ in diameter and is suitable for cats up to 15 lbs. For cats up to 25 lbs., you may opt to avail of the Big Wheel Upgrade which measures 46.5″ in diameter for an extra cost.

The wheel also features a scratch carpet lining which is good for your feline’s claws and overall well-being. Best of all, you can install the wheels on either side of the chair, making it convenient for you to integrate it into your space.

Meanwhile, the armchair consists of comfy cushions with thick, recycled PU leather covers. So, they’re not just easy to clean but are scratch and spill-resistant as well. The chair’s armrest also comes with an integrated coaster, so you can keep your coffee cup or wine glass within reach. Other optional add-ons include a felt magazine caddy, a mug, a coaster, a fleece throw blanket, and a throw pillow.

In addition to its unique concept and clever design, this furniture piece is also designed with sustainability in mind. Both the chair and the wheel are made of beechwood and plywood with a biodegradable wax finish. According to the company, the wheel is also wide enough to fit the chair inside. In turn, this effectively reduces the shipping size to about one-third of the assembled product.
