Here’s a beautiful, contemporary take on the felted cat cave. These handmade felt cat beds are by Etsy seller VaivaNat, a graphic designer from Lithuania. I love the smooth shape and the beautiful texture, and clearly, this adorable kitty loves them, too! Available from the VaivaNat Etsy shop.
These are so amazing! I’ve been a fan for a long time, i think I should finally think about actually buying one. 🙂

These are genius! And if we had one, we’d never see our chihuahuas ever again. (For those of you who are strictly feline-only people, chihuahuas LOVE to burrow and nest and stay warm at all times.)
If I ever have the means, I would really love to have one of these for each of my clowder. They look SO snuggly-soft and cozy!
Oh! That MUST be fun!

I bought two of these recently and absolutely love them. They look much more attractive than normal cat beds – almost sculptural. Our cats have phases when they sleep in them curled up like in a nest which is adorable. At the moment they favour sitting on top, squashing them flat and rolling around. They seem to love the feeling of the felt under their paws (and butts!) and it’s a good texture for wrestling with.
Do you manage to keep them in “cave shape”? If yes, do tell, what’s your trick? I have two as well, but they are only used as beds, never as caves since the cats flatten them immediately by stepping on them. (I do still love them as beautiful, well crafted beds and would recommend them!)
I would love to learn how to knit this! i bet it could be done with just felted knitted wool!
It’s a felted vessel. Watch this video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEiSeZZ0evo
Oh.. I can see PF in one of these…!
These are beautiful, comfy cozy coccoons for cats. They remind me of a prop from a futuristic seventies film.
These are the Perfect Cat Cave hideout and I believe my cats would LOVE THEM. I did not see the price and believe they are not within my budget to endow them with such perfect luxury. Kitty heaven, warm, snug and almost out of site.
These are so beautiful and I bet PurrD and Slick would love one!
I ordered both the grey and the orange one for our brood… they are beautiful, but they are being used as beds, not as caves. They just don’t hold up their cave shape at all… they quickly sink into a sort of pancake. Even if I fluff them up and try to give them back their cave shape, our cats will usually step on them… and they are back to flat. I don’t think I could possibly do anything differently – there is no element to them that would stabilize them vertically. I do think they are gorgeous and nicely crafted, but 0 out of 5 cats use them as cave.
But why from wool?
The cat can have a cozy home without hurting other animals.
I bet you can find a better material…
