Highlighted Reviews

"My little kittens are OBSESSED with this bed. They aren’t interested in any other and wrestle to see who gets to nap there. I’m thinking of ordering a second one as they grow and get bigger."

β€” Jpom

"Super cute but when it arrived two small areas of the seam were coming apart and have since come apart much more. Overall idea and look is good but the quality just isn’t there."

Bottom Line

A beautifully designed bed for small pets, but consider durability concerns before purchasing. It is worth it for a light sleeper or those with fussy pets.
