Avocado Toast Cat Bed Collection

We asked the cat, "What do you want for breakfast?" She responded with a loud "MEOW," and we translated her request to mean "avocado toast." That is how this collection of avocado green and scratchy brown cat beds was created.

We decided to call these fabrics "Avocado Toast" because...well... just have a look for yourself. The green foulard is actually from a collection called "Wandering Elk", printed by QT Fabrics. We used this combination of the green fgoulard and the rich brown cotton to create a coordinating Cat Canoe® and Cat Ball® cat bed. These photos show the same tiny kitty (Tink) modeling the beds.

Look carefully over the side, and you can see how we used the avocado green foulard print to line our standard-size Cat Canoe® bed. The model here is tiny, only about 6 pounds, but it is common for cats weighing about 18 pounds to use this bed.

Tink, a six-pound cat, rests inside the Cat Ball® cat bed made with the green and brown Avocado Toast fabric combination.

It has been proven that cats like our cat beds, so I focus on sourcing fabrics to accent home decor or complement cat fur. I like to use fabrics with a textured look, like the scratchy-looking brown here, because these fabrics have a visual character that will help to disguise lint while also looking neutral enough to blend in with decor. 

You can see all of these beds together in our collection of Coordinating Cat beds here. 

How we make our cat beds: I developed the patterns and sewing techniques for our innovative modern cat beds years ago, and the jumbo-size Cat Canoe®, bound with bias tape, is my most recently developed pattern. 

I look for fabrics that might look good in homes or with cat fur. Almost all of the fabrics we use are 100% cotton from the quilting market, as these textiles are high-quality, very washable, and offer timely designs in vibrant colors.

After the supplies have arrived and I've written purchase orders, these fabrics are stacked and cut all at once, using a hand-held fabric cutting saw. The specialty foam we use comes in 50-foot rolls, which are rolled out, stacked, and cut in the same process as the fabrics. 

We typically make about 3-4 small production runs a year, so all of our cat beds are hand-made, in small quantities, by skilled sewers here in Washington.
