Recognizing the importance of fostering a cat’s sense of adventure, a design team from Peru came up with an innovative concept to address this issue. La Jato del Gato, a Peru-based company, created a stylish collection called MOCATS, which consists of modular cat furniture that can be arranged and rearranged in countless ways, providing endless opportunities for your feline friend to explore.
The masterminds behind this creative endeavor are Vanessa BriceƱo and Brian Geiser, both of whom have backgrounds in architecture and share their lives with cats. It was after completing their degrees that they decided to design a den for their own cat, Baloo. This experience made them realize the numerous health and behavioral benefits that such furniture could offer to cats.
Since then, BriceƱo and Geiser have dedicated themselves to redesigning and improving their product based on customer feedback and their expanding knowledge of feline behavior. Their passion for cat welfare is evident in their work, and they have taken inspiration not only from cats but also from the local architecture of Peru. In particular, their Jatos Chicha line draws inspiration from the DIY constructions found in Peruvian cities.
This style of architecture, known as “arquitectura chicha,” involves layering different design styles on top of each other according to the preferences and growth of each family. Having observed the advantages of modular cat furniture firsthand, as they share their home with three cats, BriceƱo and Geiser understand the benefits it offers. A modular tower allows for the diversification of a cat’s play circuit, offering them new paths and novel experiences to continue exploring.
Moreover, these modules can prove convenient in various situations, such as when a cat needs to be confined to a specific room or when an aging feline requires a playground that caters to their changing needs, be it for play, sleep, scratching, climbing, or hiding.
Apart from its ingenious design, the team also prioritized the ease and durability of the building process, while ensuring the absence of any toxic additives. The result is an elegant and customizable piece of cat furniture that is both eco-friendly and endlessly entertaining. The MOCATS collection not only enriches a cat’s environment but also provides an interactive and engaging experience for both the cat and its human companions.
