They Would Rather Be Hidden

The laundry basket. The gap behind the sofa. That one drawer you left open.

Cats are den animals and small dogs are not far behind. A covered space with one way in is where they properly switch off, rather than the half sleep they do out in the room.

  2. Behind the sofaDark, warm, out of the way.
  3. ThisThe same idea, on purpose.

Put it somewhere quiet and let them find it themselves.

Enclosed · One wide opening

Warm Without a Plug

Nothing electric, nothing to charge. The fleece and the fibre filling hold on to the heat your pet is already making.

Because it is closed in, that heat stays put instead of drifting off into a cold room.

  1. Fleece outerTraps the warm air in.
  2. Fibre fillingSoft underneath, no flat spots.
  3. Closed sidesThe heat has nowhere to go.

Good for older cats, thin coats and houses where the heating goes off at night.

Most Cats Need the Bigger One

S is 37 by 44cm and suits kittens and small cats up to 4kg. M is 45 by 54cm and takes cats up to 8kg.

An average adult cat is 4 to 5kg, so M is the one most people want. S is a kitten size.

A bed slightly too big still gets used. Too small just gets ignored.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my cat actually use it?

Most do, but give it a week. Put it somewhere they already sleep, leave the opening facing into the room, and do not pick them up and post them into it. Draping a blanket they have slept on over the top for a couple of days speeds it up, because it stops smelling new.

Which size do I need?

S measures 37 by 44cm and suits kittens and small cats up to 4kg. M measures 45 by 54cm and takes cats up to 8kg. An average adult cat weighs 4 to 5kg, so M is the right size for most people. Go for S only if you have a kitten or a genuinely small cat. If you are between the two, go up, because a roomy bed still gets used while a tight one gets ignored.

Is it warm enough for a cold room?

It is not heated and does not need to be. The fleece and fibre filling hold on to the heat your pet is already making, and because the bed is closed in, that warmth stays with them instead of escaping. That is the whole point of an enclosed bed, and it is why older cats and thin coated breeds tend to take to them.

How do I wash it?

It goes in the washing machine. Use a warm, gentle cycle with a mild detergent, then dry it flat and away from a radiator. Once it is dry, give the filling a good shake so it does not settle into one end. Leave out the fabric softener, which flattens fleece over time.

Will it work for a small dog?

Only a very small one. M is 45 by 54cm and rated to 8kg, so a chihuahua, a Yorkie or a toy poodle will be fine, and they do burrow given half a chance. A dachshund is too long for it and a pug is too broad. It is designed as a cat bed first.

I never would have thought our cats would love these socks so much. They happily sleep in them, and for sphynx cats this is a real find because it’s warm on the inside.

Wow! My cat fell in love with this bag at first sight. It's very convenient to use it. She sleeps and just warms up in it. I'll have to order another one for the second cat so they don't fight over one.

The Full Details

A fully enclosed bed, closer to a sleeping bag than a basket. The opening is wide and holds its shape, so they walk straight in rather than fighting under a flap, and the fleece and fibre filling keep their own heat in once they are curled up. Two sizes: 37 by 44cm for kittens and small cats, 45 by 54cm for cats up to 8kg.

Specifications and full description

Some cats do not want a flat bed in the middle of the room. They want to be inside something, out of the draught and out of sight, which is why you keep finding them in the laundry basket.

Why they take to it

This is a fully enclosed bed, closer to a sleeping bag than a basket. The opening is wide and holds its shape, so they can walk straight in rather than fighting their way under a flap, and once they are in, the sides close around them.

Cats are den animals. A covered space with one entrance is what they look for when they want to properly switch off, rather than the light doze they do on the sofa.

Warm without a plug

There is nothing electric in it. The fleece outer and the soft fibre filling simply hold on to the heat your cat is already making, and because the bed is enclosed, that heat stays in rather than drifting off into a cold room. Useful for older cats, thin coated breeds and anyone whose heating goes off overnight.

Sizing

An average adult cat weighs 4 to 5kg, so M is the size most people need. S is a kitten size.

Size Dimensions Suits
S 37 x 44 cm Kittens and small cats up to 4 kg
M 45 x 54 cm Cats up to 8 kg

If your cat is between the two, go up. They stretch out more than you expect, and a bed that is slightly too big still works, while one that is too small just gets ignored.

Very small dogs fit the M as well, up to about a chihuahua, a Yorkie or a toy poodle. A dachshund is too long for it and a pug is too broad.

Looking after it

Wash it on a cool, gentle cycle and dry it flat, away from a radiator. Give the filling a shake out once it is dry to stop it settling into one end. Skip the fabric softener, which flattens fleece over time.
