A cat cave works when it fits. Too big and the cat does not feel held. Too small and it lies on top instead. We size the inside from your cat's body length and shoulder height, then round it to the nearest 5 cm.

The cave sits in a nightstand or side table, under a drawer. The opening is round, about 20 cm, so it feels like a hollow and not a box. The cushion is cut to the cave and the cover goes in the wash.

Cave
Body length plus 10 cm inside, so the cat can curl up or stretch out.
Opening
A round door facing the bed or the room, whichever your cat prefers.
Lining
A felt lining that is warm, quiet and easy to vacuum.
Drawer
A Blum drawer above the cave that closes softly, so it does not wake the cat.

Questions

Will my cat actually sleep in it?
Most cats take to a cave that fits them. Put a blanket that smells of you inside, and keep it away from radiators and draughts. Some cats need a week to decide.
Can I scratch-proof the opening?
The board finish is hard and takes light scratching. We band every edge. For a keen scratcher we can line the opening with a replaceable felt ring.
Do you make a matching nightstand without a cave?
Yes. We draw the pair together, same height and finish, with drawers in place of the cave on the other side of the bed.
