# Feline Banana Leaf Basket Bed Eco-friendly Sleeping and Lounging Cat-a-Sphere By Katie Cordrey | Published 2009-09-28 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banana-leaf-cat-basket References: [meijer](http://www.meijer.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=110393&parentCategoryId=793&categoryId=800) & [moderncat.net](http://www.moderncat.net/2008/09/04/eco-friendly-banana-leaf-cat-cave/) This two-piece [cat basket](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/batsy-cat-shelter) is woven from eco-friendly banana leaves, creating a win-win situation: The cat loves the cozy space and the banana leaf texture and the owner is buying green. The sphere-shaped bed portion can be adjusted on the base to suit both the cat and the owner. There is also a model that is mounted to a scratching post and one that incorporates even more elaborate features. The two-pieced sphere as well as two alternate designs are available at Meijer. The most elaborate version is available at [Zooplus](http://www.zooplus.co.uk/shop/cats/scratching_posts/banana_leaf/101334). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Eco-friendly Cat Products:** Opportunities for innovative and sustainable cat products that align with eco-conscious consumer preferences. - **Adjustable Pet Furniture:** Disruptive potential in customizable pet furniture that can be adjusted to suit both the comfort of the pet and the preferences of the owner. - **Incorporating Elaborate Features:** Opportunities to create cat products that incorporate additional features and functionalities to enhance the feline lounging and playing experience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Pet Supplies:** Innovations in the pet supplies industry to cater to the growing demand for eco-friendly and customizable cat products. - **Furniture:** The furniture industry can explore opportunities to design and manufacture customizable pet furniture that aligns with modern interior aesthetics. - **E-commerce:** E-commerce platforms can capitalize on the demand for elaborate cat products by offering a wide range of options for consumers to choose from. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playful Muffin-Inspired Cat Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pets-pods.md) - [Origami-Like Pet Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/felt-cat-bed.md) - [Timber Sun-Inspired Pet Perches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/myzoo-solar.md) - [Contemporary Cat Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Cat-Furniture-1.md) - [Overlapping Wooden Cat Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/two-circles-cat-scratcher.md) - [Stylish Stimulating Cat Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/catit.md) - [Modular Cat Trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-cat-trees.md) - [Wraparound Banister Pet Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ara-cat-station.md) - [Pyramidal Feline Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-cat-furniture.md)
