The inspiration for Chalet came many years ago from an extraneous cat tree in the background of a late-night infomercial. Besides being obtrusive and unrelated to the advertisement, it raised the question why cat trees have to look the way they do. While there has been modest improvement in the cat furniture market in recent years, at Chalet, we think you and your cat deserve better. We respect the power, the agility, and the need for challenge and to seek out high spaces. Our products are designed accordingly.
