Cats hide away for a reason — an open flat bed gives them no sense of security, so they end up under your bed or behind the sofa instead. The Cat Cave Nest Bed is a donut-shaped felt bed with a tunnel running through the inside, giving cats two ways to use it: curled up on top of the ring, or tucked inside the tunnel with just their head poking out. The deep felt walls block draughts and hold warmth, while the tunnel entrance satisfies the instinct to be enclosed and hidden. Machine washable. Available in Grey and Dark Grey, in Small (50×20cm) and Large (60×28cm).

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my cat sleep inside the tunnel or on top?
Most cats use both positions depending on their mood. Anxious cats and cats that prefer to hide tend to favour the tunnel interior. Cats that like to perch and watch their environment tend to sleep curled on the top ring. Many cats alternate between both over time.
Which size should I choose?
The Small (50×20cm) suits cats up to around 4–5kg comfortably. The Large (60×28cm) is better for bigger cats or breeds like Maine Coons and Ragdolls that need more space to curl up fully. The tunnel diameter scales with the size, so a large cat attempting a small tunnel is uncomfortable.
How do I get my cat to use it?
Place the bed where your cat already spends time — their preferred sleeping spot or near their favourite furniture. Rub a small amount of catnip inside the tunnel to encourage initial investigation. Once your cat has slept in it once and their scent is on the felt, they will return to it consistently.
How do I wash it?
Machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle. Do not tumble dry — the felt can shrink or distort under heat. Reshape while damp and allow to air dry fully before returning it to your cat. The felt retains its shape well after washing when dried correctly.
