American-Made Finds
One maker's story, the brands newly listed here, and a few US-made picks, every Thursday.
Imperial Cat was founded in 1986 and makes the products listed here in Morrilton, AR. The site lists 3 verified American-made Imperial Cat products.
Scratchers and catnip with clear origin
Imperial Cat is based at 900 W. Church St. in Morrilton, Arkansas, and every page of its site carries the line "Made in the USA Cat Products." Its Scratch 'n Shapes and Scratch 'n Pads cardboard scratchers are described as "Made here in the USA" from recycled paper. Its catnip is "grown, processed and packaged in the USA." The About Us page says the company has made cat products since 1986 and is family owned and operated. The copyright line names it a division of Cat Claws.
What the toy pages leave out
The toys we list, such as the Spider, Ribbon Heart and S'more, belong to the Cat 'n Around line. Imperial Cat calls these "All-Natural USA Grown Catnip Cat Toys" stuffed with its own catnip, which places the filling in the US. The toy pages do not say where each toy is sewn or where the fabric, ribbon and feathers come from. Store listings for the Spider and S'more toys read "Made in the USA"; the Ribbon Heart listing gives no origin. The site-wide claim covers the line, but the toys have the least product-level detail of anything Imperial Cat sells.
