Hooded cave bed

Cats do not want a cushion. They want somewhere to hide.

An open bed leaves a cat exposed on three sides, which is why so many of them end up sleeping in a cardboard box instead. This is a proper enclosed cave — padded hood, cushioned floor and a non-slip base — dressed as a shark, so it earns its place in the living room rather than being hidden away in the spare room.

Why a cave

A roof changes how they sleep

Cats settle faster when their back and head are covered. It is the same instinct that sends them into boxes, wardrobes and laundry baskets — an enclosed space means nothing can approach from behind.

The hood is stiff enough to hold its arch, so the mouth stays open and your cat can watch the room while staying tucked out of it.

Filling

It holds its shape

Filled with high-resilience PP fibre rather than loose wadding, so the walls stay standing and the floor does not flatten into a pancake a fortnight after it arrives.

The underside is finished with a non-slip textured base. That matters on floorboards — a cat launching out of a cave will otherwise send it skidding across the room.

Two colourways

Blue or grey

Blue with a cream ribbed mouth, or grey with the same cream panel — both finished with soft felt teeth around the opening and a coral cushion inside.

The cushion is a separate pad rather than a sewn-in floor, so it lifts straight out when it needs airing.

Not only cats

Small dogs use it too

Bichons, Maltese, Yorkies, toy poodles — any small dog that likes to burrow under a blanket will take to a cave bed for the same reason.

Go by the weight guide below rather than the breed name: under 3 kg for Small, under 7 kg for Medium.

Sizing guide

Three sizes — measure your pet curled up

A cave bed is meant to be snug, so measure your pet asleep and curled rather than stretched out. Between two sizes, go up.

Size Dimensions Best for
Small 38 × 35 × 32 cm Kittens and cats under 3 kg
Medium 45 × 42 × 32 cm Cats and small dogs under 7 kg
Large 53 × 50 × 36 cm Roomy enough for two cats

Good to know

Questions people ask

Which size should I get?

Go by weight rather than breed. Small suits kittens and cats under 3 kg, Medium suits cats and small dogs under 7 kg, and Large has enough floor for two cats to share. If your pet falls between two sizes, take the larger one.

Will it collapse after a few weeks?

The hood and walls are packed with high-resilience PP fibre, which springs back rather than compressing flat the way loose wadding does. The arch is built to stay standing so the entrance does not close up on your cat.

Will it slide around on hardwood floors?

No. The base is textured and non-slip, which keeps it planted even when a cat bolts out of the opening at speed.

How do I clean it?

Lift the inner cushion out and air it. Spot clean the shell with a cloth and a little mild detergent, then let it dry completely before your pet uses it again — a damp cave bed stays damp.

My cat ignores every new bed. Will they use this one?

Put it where they already sleep rather than where you would like them to sleep, and drop in a blanket that already smells of them. Covered beds tend to win a cat over faster than open ones, but give it a week.

Sizing. Measure your pet nose to base of tail and compare with the measurements in the description. Breed names are a poor guide - two dogs of the same breed can be 4 kg apart.

Washing. Beds and blankets are machine washable unless the description says otherwise. Wash covers separately, warm not hot, and tumble dry low so the filling keeps its shape.

Introducing something new. Change food gradually over about a week, mixing an increasing share of the new food in. Put a new bed where the old one was rather than somewhere better.

Safety. Supervise play with plush and rope toys, and put wand toys away between sessions. No toy is indestructible.
