Ladioli

Ladioli supplies show-day equipment — what goes into the boot the night before and is set up ringside at seven in the morning.

Our selection follows that day. The show cage mat in 90 × 65 × 65, cut to standard cage sizes. The hammock, which gives the cat a perch inside the cage and takes it out of the traffic. The covered litter tray at 35 × 25 × 10, travel size. The folding bowl, which fits in a pocket. And the set of three grooming cases, to keep scissors, combs and products apart instead of mixing everything in one bag.

At a show the hammock is as much about calm as comfort: a cat sitting up high with its back to the crowd tires far less over a day of judging.
