Know before you buy
Yes, The Curious Cat weighs approximately 3 lbs (1.6 kg). This weight is sufficient to hold most standard interior doors in place and prevent them from slamming.
Absolutely. Its freestanding design and weighted pebble-and-wool filling make it a stable and decorative choice for keeping a row of books upright on a shelf or desk.
Because the exterior is made of natural wool, we recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid machine washing or submerging the item in water to maintain its shape and integrity.
Yes, the exterior is crafted from high-quality wool, giving it a soft, tactile feel that is gentle on your floors and furniture surfaces.
The base is designed to be stable, and the internal blend of Swedish wool and pebbles provides a low center of gravity. It is engineered to remain upright whether it is propping open a door or supporting a collection of books.
