Cats are famously picky — especially about where they sleep. But with the right mix of comfort, warmth, and design, you can find a bed your cat loves (and that actually looks good in your home).

Whether you’ve got a floofy Ragdoll, a senior tabby, or a sprightly kitten, this list covers the 10 best cat beds and caves — including several Purrz vet-approved favorites that tick all the boxes for coziness, support, and feline-approved flair.

💬 From Our Vet: Why Bed Choice Matters

“A supportive bed or cave isn’t just a luxury — it’s a health essential. The right structure helps reduce anxiety, support sore joints, and give cats a space they actually want to use. That’s why I’ve tested and approved every Purrz bed personally.”
— Dr. Duncan Houston, BVSc
