Common Questions

How can I prevent the dome from falling off

The plastic dome can pop off if the construction is not strong enough. You should supervise your cat to prevent unnecessary forces acting on the casing.

Can I use this bed for outdoor use

No, the bed is intended for indoor use only. It is not durable.

Highlighted Reviews

"All 5 of my cats love the view from the bubble."

— Aga

"For the price, I expected something sturdy. My cats popped out the plastic dome in less than 10 minutes, creating a potential hazard of it falling and hitting one of them. The construction itself is rather flimsy and thus unstable."

Bottom Line

Based on the negative durability feedback, I advise caution. Potential buyers should consider the risk of the dome coming off and the potential hazard it poses.
