What you should look out for when buying a designer cat bed:

Materials with style and function: High-quality materials such as felt, leather or latex not only ensure longevity and healthy lying comfort, they also fit harmoniously into a modern living concept.

Ergonomic design: Cats prefer raised sleeping areas and/or enclosed beds that give them security and peace. Look for shapes that support your cat’s natural sleeping habits. To ensure that the cat accepts the bed, the lying surface must meet ergonomic criteria, with an orthopaedic latex filling acting as a cat magnet.

Harmonious choice of colors: Natural shades such as gray, beige or soft brown look elegant and can be easily combined with different furnishing styles. Trendy colors such as red, turquoise or eggplant set stylish accents.

Sustainability and easy care: The products manufactured in Bavaria ensure a long service life. The environmentally friendly, natural materials and the removable and washable covers guarantee a hygienic environment that cats really appreciate. Covers and individual components can be reordered even years later.

What is a good cat basket?

The most important criteria for choosing a cat basket.

Since cats sleep up to 16 hours a day, the cat basket should be an ideal place for your cat to sleep and retreat. It is therefore important to pay attention to good features and criteria when buying. To ensure that your cat likes the place to sleep, the cat basket must first and foremost ensure that your cat feels comfortable. Ideally, you should offer your cat several sleeping places to choose from.

 

These are the most important factors when choosing a cat basket:

  • Is the cat comfortable in the cat basket?
  • Does the cat feel comfortable in its cat basket?
  • What size should I look for when choosing a cat basket?
  • How easy is the cat basket to clean?
  • What materials are used to make the cat basket?
  • Does the manufacturer of the cat basket have good references?
  • Are there suitable accessories for the cat basket?
  • Does the cat basket look good?
  • What happens if the cat does not accept the basket?

Whether the cat lies comfortably in its cat basket depends primarily on the lying surface. The cat basket should have a cushion with healthy lying properties. It is important that the cushion material does not sag over time. It should be a point-elastic, healthy filling so that the spine and joints are supported. Good cat cushions, e.g. those filled with latex, usually keep this promise for the cat’s entire life.

Does the cat feel comfortable in its cat basket?

Whether the cat feels comfortable in your cat basket depends on the location and the materials used. Basically, the sleeping place should be warm and in a protected place. Your house cat wants to sleep in peace and also retreat to be alone from time to time. The optimal location depends on the cat’s preference. Some cats love to sleep a little higher up so they can keep an overview. Other animals that are not so mobile are happy if the basket is placed in a somewhat protected place next to the sofa or in a small alcove.
If you have several cats, there should be plenty of sleeping options available. The cats will certainly sleep together in a basket, but every now and then the animals want a place to retreat to all by themselves. If you only have one animal, you can also provide it with an alternative place to sleep.
Cat caves offer a well-protected, warm and undisturbed oasis of well-being. Cat houses made of felt are particularly recommended for anxious and noise-sensitive animals.
A drafty, busy place like the hallway is not suitable for a place to relax.

Cats love it soft, warm, cozy and, above all, clean. Therefore, the materials used should correspond to these preferences. Baskets with comfortable cushions (e.g. made of fleece, brushed cotton…) and with a cozy outer cover (e.g. felt) are ideal. Plastic cat baskets are not suitable as a place to sleep.

What size should I pay attention to when choosing a cat basket?

A cat basket should be large enough for the cat to lie comfortably stretched out in it. Depending on its condition, the time of day and its inclination, the cat will sleep curled up tightly or stretched out in its basket. The cat bed should be large enough for both lying positions.

How easy is the cat basket to clean?

Cats love cleanliness. When buying a basket, make sure it is easy to clean. Ideally, the cushion cover or the entire basket can be machine washed so that the sleeping area is always clean. Some manufacturers offer replacement covers. This way, the cat bed is easy to clean and has a fresh cover.

What materials are used to make the cat basket?

When buying, pay attention to where it is produced and whether the materials used are of natural origin. You should also check whether all materials are Oeko-Tex certified. This way you can be sure that your cat is sleeping in a bed that is free of harmful substances.

Does the manufacturer of the cat basket have good references?

Take a look at the reviews and references of the manufacturer. There you can get an idea of ​​how cats have reacted to the baskets and cushions on offer. On these pages you can find out a lot about the manufacturer. Is the manufacturer well established in the market, competent in pet products and a good contact for questions about cat beds?

Are there suitable accessories for the cat basket?

If you can buy additional pillows, pillowcases, etc., this has the advantage that you don’t have to replace the entire cat basket if necessary. You can also keep the basket clean with an additional pillowcase.

Does the cat basket look good?

The look of the cat basket is only of interest to you. Your cat will not care about the shape and color. You choose the design that best suits you and your living conditions. Your furry friend will only care about comfort.

What happens if the cat doesn't accept the basket?

Generally speaking, cats are very curious and like to try out new things. Once they have discovered the advantages of the cat basket, they will accept it. Sometimes, however, it takes a little patience until a new cat basket is taken over by the house cat. You can give it a helping hand by sprinkling some catnip or valerian in the cat basket. House cats are magically attracted to it. In an emergency, good retailers will take back unused cat baskets without hesitation.
