Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know whether my cat prefers a cat cave or a cat bed?

Although both beds and caves are great, cat caves are a great source of comfort to cats. They keep your kitty warm when it’s cold out and cool when it’s hot, and they can help provide a source of calm and shelter (this is especially true if your home is busy with other pets and/or children). Also, cats can have the option of sleeping inside the cave or on top of it, which they love.

What materials should a cat cave be made of?

Look for cozy, warm, durable materials like faux-fur, faux-suede, felt, and wool.
