Every home that has a cat should have at least one of these! This is the ultimate kitty hideaway bed! It’s The Cat Ball, designed and handmade by Jenna Schmidt. Kitties who like to curl up for a cozy nap fall immediately in love with these colorful creations. Jenna uses fun fabrics over a soft but sturdy foam frame. Two openings — one large and one small — allow for easy access and visibility.
Since The Cat Ball will get a ton of use, you’ll be happy to know that it is machine washable and dryable. The beautiful fabrics add a splash of color to your home while giving kitty the perfect place to get away. Throw one on the sofa, on your bed, or anywhere kitty likes to hang out.
The Cat Ball hideaway beds are available from The Cat Ball Etsy shop and also directly from The Cat Ball online shop.
Those are so cute. I bet cats would love those.
Those are fantastic! Of course, you’d have to get one for each cat or there would be some fighting over it.
I really like the cat ball, I have a kitty that loves to hideaway. The price is way too high at $69.00. Unreasonable.
Considering it’s a handmade item, and appears to be high quality, I don’t think the price seems unreasonable.
There is at LEAST $35 in fabric and supplies and this took MORE than 2 hours to sew. This girl is making less than minimum wage.
Unreasonable?? They’re hand-made, come in custom fabrics if desired & combinations and should last at least the lifetime of a cat if not several. Many custom beds go for twice this or more, it may be more than *you* are willing to pay but it’s by no means unreasonable! I guess you can always stick to questionably made beds from Walmart for $19.99 instead.
awww, come on. it is handmade, high quality. that needs to be taken into account. these are not mass produced items made by a huge company overseas where labor is cheap (and unfair).
it’s a great design .i gotta check these out.
GREAT fabric choices, a range of prices including some styles that are quite affordable, and if that doesn’t get you, I DARE you to resist the blue one with the paw and tail sticking out 😉
these are darling. My cat would love it!
I’m afraid my cats will have to make do with a large brown paper bag.
I can’t say enough good things about The Cat Ball and Cat Canoe. Jenna is such a fantastic cat bed maker, great quality and my cat loves his. 100% satisfaction with customer service and product 🙂
You get what you pay for. These Cat Balls are well worth the money. Both of our cats love theirs. They sometimes sleep in them all night. Jenna does such quality work and uses such great material and patterns for the beds. They are sturdy and washable. Something different that you can’t buy in stores. My favorite ones are the Batik. We have both the pink one and purple one. So colorful and cute in the house. I highly recommend The Cat Ball!
My cat would love this! He is always looking for a new place to sleep.
These are real value for money. I got a custom design to go with our interior, and a matching cat canoe, and there is *always* one cat or another in both. The old guy loves the canoe for supported lounging in the window, during the day, and my feral female uses it during the night to stand guard over the territory. The cat ball is the favourite curl up place for my special needs girl and she often shares it with the old guy — it has room for two. Given the price you pay for total cr@p at the pet stores, these are amazing bargains. And, unlike the pet store offerings, they are easy to clean, and they last and last. Plus, Jenna is terrific when it comes to customer service. Really. Win-win-win, for your cat, for you and for Jenna.
i purchased one of these on February 11, 2014 and my cat absolutely adores it! (he’s in it right now) jennifer’s design is genius and her craftsmanship is excellent. the fabrics are lovely and this should last us many years. i highly recommend this product. it is well worth the money.
I work in a fabric store, Just the fabric alone could cost that much let alone other materials used, and then the labor of making it. I’m sure it took several hours to make. These are great!
