How she sleeps
Her age
Tell us her curled length and we'll pick the size.
Her curled length. Wait until she is asleep in a ball. Measure straight across the curl at its longest, from her head to the base of her tail, without pressing on her. That is the width of bed she needs to lie in. It is the number the guide asks for first.
Her stretched length. When she is lying on her side, measure from her nose to the base of her tail, not the tip. The low dens and the Deluxe Donut Bed Large are for the cat who sleeps like this.
Her weight. Weigh yourself holding her, then without her, and take one from the other, or ask your vet clinic if you can use their scales. Weight checks the bed’s rating. It does not tell you whether she fits.
Why this range exists
“A cat who hides is telling you something. Give her somewhere good to do it.”
Half the cats I see on a night shift are hiders: under the bed, behind the washing machine, in the box the new toy came in. Hiding is not a fault. It is how a cat manages a house full of noise, people and, often, another cat. So a cave with one door and a roof is not a luxury; it is the piece of furniture she would have chosen herself. The rule I give owners is simple: one cave per cat plus one, put where she already goes, and left alone. And a cat who has started hiding when she never used to is a vet visit before she is a shopping trip. Gary has a cave he uses and a bed he ignores; the cave went where he was already sleeping.

Willow absolutely loves this! It’s the perfect size for curling up inside, and the green design looks really modern and stylish in my living room. The material feels sturdy but soft enough for a cozy nap. It’s quickly become her favorite spot to hide and relax.

This is a great bed, super soft. The rabbit ears fall over the front but they give the cats some felt privacy.

I was looking for a new home with a tunnel layout. Lucy approved!

Questions cat owners ask about caves and beds
Short answers from the vet who designs the range. Health questions go to your own vet, or a certified vet in the Ask A Vet app.
Which size cave does my cat need?
Measure her curled up, nose to tail base, and stretched out on her side. A cave needs a floor she can turn round on and lie flat in, so buy for the stretched figure if she sleeps on her side; an open bed should be about a hand longer than she is curled. Every product page lists its assembled size, the Cubby Cave and the Deluxe Donut Bed come in two sizes, and the size guide does the arithmetic. Between sizes, go up.
Cave or open bed?
Watch where she sleeps now. Under things, in boxes and behind the sofa means a cave: walls all round, one door, a roof. On the sofa arm, the end of the bed or your jumper, curled with her back against something, means an open bed with a wall: the Deluxe Donut Bed or the hooded Cubby Cave. Many cats want one of each, a cave for the day and a bed for the night, and the 3-In-1 Cave folds from one to the other.
Why is most of the range felt, and how do I clean it?
Felt holds its shape without a frame, takes a claw without unravelling, and flat-packs. Brush hair off it, lift the rest with a lint roller, and spot-clean with cold water; do not machine wash a felt cave. The plush pieces (the Bunny Shag Cave, the Cubby Cave, the 3-In-1 and the Deluxe Donut Bed) have covers the listings say are machine washable; the instructions are being confirmed and print on each product page. Wash bedding the same day you treat for fleas, because the eggs are in the bed.
Can two cats share one cave?
No, however it looks in the photograph. Cats sleep near each other by choice and in the same enclosed space rarely, and a cave with one door is a place one cat can corner another. The rule is one cave per cat plus one, put apart, or a two-level house (the Petal Paws, the Avo-Cat-O, the Al-Cat-Raz, The Cottage, the Catception, the Logo House) so one cat has the den and the other has the deck. The Deluxe Donut Bed Large is the one piece rated for two who already sleep together.
My cat has started hiding all the time. Will a cave help?
Not on its own, and please do not buy it for that. A cat who hides when she never used to, who has stopped coming out to eat, or who hides and also strains, vomits or limps, is showing you pain or illness, and that is a vet visit first. Once she is checked, a cave in the place she already goes gives her the hiding spot she was looking for, on her terms. A cat who has always hidden a little is a hider, and the cave is for her.
What if she ignores it, or it arrives damaged?
Ignoring it in week one is normal if it is in the wrong place: move it to where she sleeps now, put her blanket inside, and leave it two weeks. Do not put her in it. If it arrives damaged or wrong, email hello@purrz.com within 7 days of delivery with a photo and your order number; faulty, damaged or incorrect items are covered and we pay the return shipping when the error is ours.
