Pauwz was founded by Jude and Barry in Auckland, New Zealand.
The idea came during a challenging period in our lives, when Barry was undergoing surgery and treatment for advanced-stage cancer. During that time we noticed changes in the behaviour of our cats, Minnie and Sam. There was more scratching, morerestlessness, and a sense that they were responding to the stress in the home.

As we learned more about feline behaviour, scratching isn't naughty, it's necessary. Rather than trying to stop it, we wanted to support it.
At the same time, Jude has always loved interior design and felt that most cat furniture didn't belong in the space where we actually live. So Pause was created to do both; support natural feline behaviour while also looking beautiful in modern homes.

The result is a scratcher-bed designed for scratch, settle and sleep in a form that feels at home in shared living spaces.
Pauwz is built on a simple belief; natural feline behaviour should be supported, and beautiful homes and happy cats should coexist.
