A shelf connecting the rope bridge and the ceiling shelf | OVALREST CONNECT

A distinctive cat shelf, the only one in the system with side cutouts and additional cutouts at the front of the platform.

This solution lets you connect a rope bridge securely not only at the side but also at the front of the shelf. That makes it possible to create more advanced spatial layouts and to lead your cat's route in many directions.

How it works in the system

OVALREST CONNECT connects the rope bridge with the CIRCLE ceiling shelf and is a key element in building a multi-level climbing route for your cat.

allows a smooth transition between levels
lets you lead the route in different directions
stabilizes the structure of the whole layout
leaves room for further expansion

Why this design matters

Standard shelves allow elements to be connected only at the sides.

Thanks to its front cutouts, OVALREST CONNECT:

lets you connect a bridge directly at the front
lets you build more dynamic layouts
gives you more freedom in designing the space
creates a natural, continuous route for your cat

It is an element that truly changes the way the whole system is built.

Are PRASKA products suitable for large cats, such as Maine Coons or Ragdolls?

Yes. Many PRASKA products are designed specifically with large cat breeds in mind, such as Maine Coons, Ragdolls, Norwegian Forest Cats, Siberian Cats, and British Shorthairs. Our platforms, shelves, towers, and beds feature suitably larger surface areas, stable constructions, and durable materials. This ensures that a large cat can comfortably rest, turn around, stretch, and use the furniture without feeling restricted.

How do I choose the right product variant for a large cat?

Most PRASKA products are designed with large cats in mind, such as Maine Coons, Ragdolls, Norwegian Forest Cats, or Siberian Cats. All of our plywood furniture, shelves, platforms, cat trees, and towers are stable and adapted for everyday use by large cats. When choosing a product, you should primarily consider your cat's weight and size. A cat weighing up to 10 kg will feel comfortable on all PRASKA cat trees, shelves, and platforms. For beds, cat houses, and textile products, we recommend choosing larger variants. For cats weighing over 6 kg, it is best to choose models with a diameter of 50 cm or more. Smaller sizes, such as 40 cm or 45 cm, may prove too tight for large breeds. In our product descriptions, we always provide information about the dimensions and the recommended use for each model. If you are ever in doubt, you can always write to or call us. We will gladly help you choose a product perfectly tailored to the size, weight, and temperament of your cat.

What makes PRASKA products stand out?

PRASKA products are crafted in Poland from materials that we personally select and test for quality, durability, and pet safety. We use certified upholstery fabrics, high-quality plywood, and materials designed for daily, intensive use. Each element is chosen to retain its properties over time and to perform exceptionally well in a home shared with cats. When creating PRASKA products, we prioritize not only appearance but also comfort, functionality, and safety. That is why our furniture, beds, and accessories are built for years of use, keeping the daily needs of both cats and their caregivers in mind. It is the unique combination of artisanal craftsmanship, carefully selected materials, and firsthand breeding experience that stands behind every design.

Do PRASKA furniture pieces have visible screws or mountings?

No. Aesthetics are just as important to us as functionality. We design our furniture so that the mountings are completely hidden. Because of this, the product looks elegant and natural in your interior. It does not resemble a typical mass-market scratching post, but rather a piece of high-quality furniture designed to complement a living room, bedroom, or modern space.

Can PRASKA products be customized to match an interior?

Yes. For many models, you can choose the color of the plywood, fabric, faux fur, or accessories. This ensures the product isn't just a random item in the house, but a cohesive part of your decor. PRASKA was created for people who want to provide their cat with a highly functional space without compromising on interior aesthetics.

Are PRASKA products personalized?

Yes. We make many of our products individually to order. Depending on the model, you can choose the color variant, fabrics, size, or additional elements. We do not operate as a mass-production warehouse. Every product is created specifically to match your chosen configuration.

Are PRASKA products suitable for multiple cats?

Yes. Our structures are designed to serve more than one cat. This applies especially to our larger platforms, towers, cat trees, and wall systems. If you have several cats, we highly recommend choosing an extensive set with various resting levels. Cats naturally like to have their own vantage points, so multiple platforms work much better than a single resting spot.

Is PRASKA a good solution for cat breeders?

Yes. The PRASKA brand was born directly out of breeding experience. Its founder has been breeding pedigree cats for many years, which is why every product is designed based on the daily observation of feline behavior and the real-world needs of breeders. These are not designs created simply by a furniture manufacturer. They have been developed over the years based on hands-on experience raising kittens, caring for breeding queens, and organizing spaces for cats of various breeds and ages. Because of this, the PRASKA catalog includes not just cat trees and beds, but also queening boxes (birthing boxes), cat houses, mats, and solutions created specifically for catteries. The products are durable, easy to keep clean, comfortable for the cats, and fully adapted for intensive use. Many of the solutions available at PRASKA were created simply because they were missing on the market or did not meet expectations for daily work with cats. Every detail—from the selection of materials and construction to practical usability—has been thoughtfully planned from the perspective of someone who has lived and worked with cats every day for years. This is exactly why PRASKA products are the top choice for both individual cat owners and professional breeders in Poland and around the world.

Do you ship products outside of Poland?

Yes. Our products reach customers all over the world, both within Europe and beyond.

Why does order fulfillment take longer than in standard online stores?

Because we make every product by hand, from scratch. We do not rely on ready-made warehouse stock or imports from China. We sew, craft, and paint individually, specifically for your order. This gives you the absolute certainty that you are receiving a product made with passion, diligence, and meticulous attention to every detail.
