We all know cats have opinions. On dinner, on your laptop keyboard, on whether that shoebox belongs to them (spoiler, it does).
But have you ever stopped to think about their opinion on sustainability?
They might not be marching in climate rallies or starting a zero-waste TikTok, but domestic cats benefit from a more sustainable world just as much as we do.
In fact, they depend on it.
Let’s talk about how a more planet-friendly home makes for a healthier, happier cat, and how Pryde Pets is doing its part to keep things purr-fectly green.
A sustainable approach to living creates an environment where these natural behaviours are supported, not stifled.
Toxin-free materials, minimal waste, and products that actually last the distance (because nobody wants to replace a cat shelf every six months).
It’s not just about eco-credentials.
It’s about building a home that mirrors the richness of their ancestral playground.
Cleaner air, safer surfaces, and better materials = healthier, more content cats.
At Pryde Pets, we’ve designed our wall shelves to be as environmentally conscious as they are cat-conscious:
-
Felt shelves made from 100% recycled PET bottles. Yep, that water bottle you tossed in the recycling bin might now be your cat’s favourite hangout spot. These shelves are soft to the touch, firm enough for serious jumping, and totally irresistible for those cheek rubs (we see you, territory markers). They’re proof that sustainability doesn’t have to compromise on comfort or style.
-
Stainless steel wall brackets with colour-matched powder-coating. Not only do they look sleek on your wall, they’re built to withstand years of feline hijinks. Strong, durable, and rust-resistant, these brackets keep everything firmly in place. Sustainability here means investing in strength, not replacing broken bits over and over.
Every material choice has been made with both the planet and your purring housemate in mind.
One of the best ways to live more sustainably is to buy less, but better.
Your cat doesn’t need a jungle of plastic toys or a new cardboard castle every other week.
What they do need is enrichment that lasts, and materials that don’t end up in landfill after a few months.
By choosing high-quality, thoughtfully made items, you are reducing waste and showing your cat what luxury really looks like.
Despite their fluffy exterior and diva tendencies, cats are deeply connected to nature. A cats instincts to climb, stalk, scratch, perch, pounce come from millennia of living in the wild. And while they might live indoors now, those behaviours don’t just disappear.
Our climbers are easy to clean, resistant to wear and tear, and blend beautifully into modern homes.
Less clutter, less stress, for both you and your feline roommate.
Eco-Conscious Cat Parents Are the Future
Sustainability isn’t just a trend, it’s a responsibility. And the good news is, it’s easier than ever to bring that mindset into your pet parenting.
Whether it’s through choosing products with recycled materials, avoiding overconsumption, or supporting small brands that actually give a fluff, every little decision adds up.
At Pryde Pets, we’re proud to be part of this positive change. And we know our customers (and their cats) are too. We’re committed to designing products that honour the planet, without compromising on quality, aesthetics, or feline approval.
Because your cat deserves a home that supports their needs and so does the planet they live on.
So go ahead, let your cat climb, stretch, nap, and scratch to their heart’s content.
You’re not just enriching their lives you are helping preserve the world they purr in. And that’s something we can all feel good about.
