Cat bed for large cats

Aug 10, 2026 | Cats, Customer stories

For Maine Coons and other large cats

When buying a bed, it pays to plan generously—especially for large cat breeds. A full-grown Maine Coon can reach an impressive length and appreciates a sleeping spot where it can stretch out fully.

Here, we showcase XXL cat beds from our workshop that we have delivered to satisfied customers. We have gathered a few photos and customer testimonials to demonstrate this.

Cat bed for large cats – because large cats need large favorite spots.

Whether a Maine Coon, a Norwegian Forest Cat, or simply a stately house cat—large cats need space. And not just for playing and exploring, but above all for sleeping.
A large cat bed offers plenty of room to stretch out luxuriously, curl up, and spend the many hours of the day in complete relaxation.

 

 

Lilly from Rosenheim

Arena in light grey felt with a cream-colored cushion

Arena in hellgrauem Filz und cremefarbenem Kissen

The “Arena” arrived yesterday. I immediately put away the old bed and set up the new cat basket! I’m absolutely thrilled with it; I really like it, and it blends beautifully with the rest of the décor. Even more important, of course, is that my cats took to it right away. That said, it’s going to be a tight squeeze for two big kitties at once. Right now, the boss—Lilly—is holding court on the cat bed all by herself.

Why a cat bed for large cats?

Cats love a sense of security—but they want to decide for themselves how they lie down. Large cat breeds, in particular, quickly outgrow conventional cat baskets. A spacious XXL cat bed gives them freedom of movement while still offering a sheltered retreat.

Comfort can be generous.

In addition to size, the quality of the sleeping surface plays a crucial role. A high-quality cat bed should be pleasantly soft, provide comfortable body support, and retain its shape even after heavy use.

That is why, at pet-interiors, we place special emphasis on premium materials and durable construction. After all, a favorite spot should not only be cozy today but also remain a companion for your cat for many years to come.

Our cats absolutely love the new pet beds. As you can see in the photos, the beds are suitable even for very large house cats. We would like to express our sincere thanks for the fantastic product and the super-fast service.

A large cat bed can be beautiful, too.

XXL doesn’t have to mean bulky.

An XXL cat bed can be a genuine design statement. Clean lines, carefully selected fabrics, and harmonious colors make your cat’s sleeping spot a natural part of your home décor.

That is precisely the philosophy behind pet-interiors: we aim to create retreats that cats love—and that their owners are proud to display in their living rooms.

 

 

 

Mr. Miou from Unna
Bowl leather black, cushion color purple, 75 x 75 cm

Mr. Miou aus Unna Bowl Leder schwarz, Kissenfarbe violett, 75 x 75 cm

Mr. Miou sleeps blissfully relaxed in the new Bowl cat bed. If he steps away for even five minutes, Miss Missi sneakily takes over his spot. The Bowl is actually meant for Miss Missi, but right now she is so fixated on Mr. Miou that she copies everything he does. She follows him everywhere, and as soon as he falls asleep in the Bowl, she lies down right next to it, waiting to claim the bed for herself. It’s better than TV!

Cat bed for large cats – a favorite place with plenty of space to dream

A spacious cat bed gives your cat something particularly valuable: space for peace, security and restful sleep.

Add to this high-quality design, durable materials, washable components and the option to purchase additional covers, and a simple cat bed becomes a favorite place for many years together.

Dog shampoo for sensitive skin

Jun 8, 2026 | Dogs, Recipes

If you don’t feel comfortable washing your dog with a shampoo whose list of ingredients you can’t even pronounce, here’s a great recipe for a homemade dog shampoo. All the ingredients are easy to get hold of, or you may have them at home anyway. The quantity is sufficient for a medium-sized dog, e.g. a Labrador.

 

Ingredients for dog shampoo:

  • 100 g rolled oats
  • 100 g baking powder
  • 400 ml cups of warm water
  • 1 teaspoon mild washing-up liquid from the health food shop
  • 5 drops of lavender or peppermint oil

Firstly, blend the oats in a food processor until they have the consistency of flour. Add the remaining ingredients and finish mixing.

Massage the shampoo into your dog’s wet coat for a few minutes before rinsing it out. The baking soda absorbs the dog’s odours, while the oat flakes soothe and cleanse the skin.

You will be amazed at how great your dog smells and how soft his coat has become.

After a soothing wash, the Golden Retriever puppy can relax on the cosy leather cushion

Cats and the heat – cooling down your furry friend

May 31, 2026 | Cats

In the heat of summer, a cool shady spot under trees is ideal for your house cat.

Cats and heat. How do I cool down my cat?

As descendants of steppe dwellers, our cats love warmth and summer. Unlike their ancestors, heat is not all that good for your cat. Hot summer days are a big challenge for your house cat. You can read here how you can make life bearable for your house cat in summer and cool down your cat.

How do cats cope with high temperatures?

As a rule, cats react to heat with lethargy. They move much less in hot weather and look for a cool, shady place to retreat to. This only helps to a limited extent when it is too hot. Cats have far fewer sweat glands than humans and therefore cannot regulate their heat balance by sweating. Like dogs, cats try to cool down by panting. They also groom themselves more often because saliva moistens their fur and provides evaporative cooling.

Our tips will help you to make your house cat as comfortable as possible in hot temperatures.

Keep your fur moist to keep cool.

As already mentioned, cats use the evaporative coolness of their saliva to cool down. Help your house cat by moistening a washcloth and stroking your cat’s fur. It also helps to stroke the cat with wet hands every now and then. The positive side effect is that the cat grooms itself less and loses less fluid through saliva.

Make sure there is a shady and cool place.

Outdoor cats will independently find suitable, shady places to retreat to in the garden. It is a little more difficult for house cats in the house. A cool place in the basement or on the tiles in the bathroom is a good option. There are also special cooling mats for animals. These are self-cooling and dissipate heat very well. Airing out in the early morning and late evening also helps to cool down the living room. Shade the apartment during the day with roller shutters and blinds. Ideally, your house cat has a balcony secured with a net, where it can find a shady spot under plants. Please pay attention to the plants, as many of the widely used ornamental plants are poisonous to our cats. Here you will find an article on the subject of poisonous plants and a list to download. Setting up fans is not suitable. Cats can quickly catch conjunctivitis from the constant draft.

Adjust the outdoor time to the outside temperature.

If possible, cats should stay indoors during the worst of the midday heat. The risk of suffering heat stroke or sunburn is greatest in the strong summer heat at midday. If possible, make sure that your cat only stays outside in the early morning and late evening. Most house cats sort this out on their own, just make sure that the cat has access to a cool place in the house at all times.

How do I recognize heat stroke in my cat?

If the body temperature rises above 39°C and the animal shows restless behavior, this indicates heat stroke. Dark red gums, heavy panting and apathetic lying on the stomach are further signs. If you see these signs, you should see a vet immediately.

The right food is also important so that the cat can tolerate heat better.

As is well known, cats don’t like to drink much. That’s why it’s advisable to offer wet food on hot days. This will help with fluid intake. During particularly hot days, your house cat needs less food than usual, as calorie consumption drops due to reduced physical activity. Give your pet food in small portions spread out over the day. Clear away any leftovers straight away. The food spoils quickly on hot days and you will otherwise attract flies.

How do I encourage my cat to drink?

Drinking on hot days is much more important than the right food. To ensure that the cat drinks enough fluids, place lots of water bowls in and around the house and apartment. If your cat doesn’t like drinking, you can put some tuna infusion in the water bowl to add flavor. Unseasoned chicken broth also flavors the water and encourages drinking. Some house cats love to drink from indoor fountains or the faucet. A water fountain in the living room also ensures a good indoor climate.

Are insects and parasites more dangerous in summer?

Check your outdoor cat daily and remove ticks, fleas or mites immediately. Other insects are also unpleasant in summer. But don’t use insecticides because cats are very sensitive to insecticides. It’s better to equip your home with fly screens to keep the stinging pests outside.

Heatstroke in Dogs

Apr 23, 2026 | Dogs

Temperatures that are comfortable for us can, under certain circumstances, lead to heat stroke for the dog.

Heat stroke in dogs

If temperatures rise to over 25°C in summer, dogs are more likely to suffer from heatstroke. Since there are no sweat glands on large parts of the skin in dogs and cats, the animals are very sensitive to heat. Sweat glands are only located on the nose and the ball of the nose. This is too small a surface area to regulate body temperature sufficiently. And unlike humans, the warm fur can be exchanged for an airy summer dress.

 

How does heatstroke occur in dogs?

If the dog is exposed to heat for a long time and has no opportunity to retreat to a cool place, the dog can very quickly develop heat stroke. If you park your car in the sun at a pleasant 24°C, it can become a fatal trap for your dog inside within an hour. Never leave your dog alone in the car, even if it is in the shade. The sun moves and the car turns into an oven within a very short time.

In warm weather, high humidity, and strenuous physical activity, well-trained dogs can suffer heat stroke. Rescue dogs may only be used for 15 minutes at temperatures above 30°C. Then a sufficiently long break must be taken and the animal must have unrestricted access to water. To ensure that the rescue dog is adequately protected, the body temperature is checked regularly.

If your dog is a flat-nosed dog (e.g. French Bulldog, Pug, Boxer, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Pekingese…) you should be particularly careful. Even a quiet walk in the midday heat can cause heat stroke in a dog with restricted breathing.

What happens when you have heat stroke?

Dogs dissipate heat by panting. Due to the resulting loss of fluid, the animals become dehydrated and their body temperature continues to rise. From a body temperature of 40°C, the organs are no longer adequately supplied with blood, significant circulatory problems occur and shock can occur. If the body temperature continues to rise, the body’s own protein clots, the animal collapses and, after a painful struggle, dies of heart failure.

 

These are the signs of heat stroke:

  • heavy panting and shallow breathing
  • great restlessness, the dog is looking for a place in the shade
  • rapid pulse and heart palpitations
  • Body temperature over 40°C
  • deep red tongue and glassy gaze
  • Inside of ears are hot and red
  • the animal is exhausted, restless and convulsing
  • Vomiting and diarrhea
  • Balance disorders and staggering
  • Apathy and, in the worst case, unconsciousness

First aid measures for heat stroke:

  • move the animal to a cool, well-ventilated place
  • offer the animal measured water (never force it)
  • place the dog on a damp towel and cool his head and neck
  • slowly moisten the legs
  • shower the animal slowly and carefully, starting with the legs
  • Do not under any circumstances pour water on the animal, risk of shock!
  • under no circumstances use ice-cold water, danger to life!
  • If the dog is unconscious, place him on his right side, stretching his head and neck to prevent suffocation

take the animal to the vet immediately
If you have a heat-damaged dog, you should always and under all circumstances consult a veterinarian! Only a veterinarian has the chance to prevent irreparable damage and initiate emergency measures.

Here are some useful tips on how to get your dog through the summer heat!
