Cat Corner Desk Lounger
The Cat Corner Desk Lounger offers a special place for your cat to do what he does best: supervise your work. This plush bed sits on the corner of your desk, secured by Velcro. Big enough for most cats to stretch out, the lounger is equipped with 3-inch rails to help keep him from taking a tumble off the side. Your kitty will love his new spot, but we suspect you may still find him snoozing on your important papers now and then!
