Why do cats love caves?

A cave gives your cat shelter on all sides. Your cat can sleep undisturbed and still keep an overview. Especially in busy households or homes with several pets, a retreat like this matters. The PEBBLE cat cave offers exactly that, with a soft, warm shell made of wool felt.

How big should a cat cave be?

Your cat should be able to curl up and turn around inside. The entrance needs to be easy to get through without the cave losing its sheltered feel. You'll find the exact dimensions on each product page, for example for PEBBLE or PAPERCAVE.

Felt or cardboard: which material is better?

Felt is soft, warm and holds its shape. It suits cats who like long, cozy naps, for example in the PEBBLE cat cave. Cardboard is lightweight and invites scratching. That makes the PAPERCAVE ideal for cats who love to take over cardboard boxes. Both materials have their place, and many cats happily use both.

How do I clean a felt cat cave?

Loose hair is easy to remove with a lint roller or a vacuum. Dab stains with a little lukewarm water and a mild wool detergent, then let the cave air-dry thoroughly. That way, your PEBBLE stays beautiful for a long time.

How do I get my cat used to a new cat cave?

Place the cave somewhere your cat already likes to sleep. Put a familiar blanket or a toy that smells like your cat inside. A few treats at the entrance help too. Don't push your cat inside: most cats explore their new cat cave on their own once they get curious.

Felt and Cardboard Cat Caves: A Retreat with Design

Cats love sheltered spots. In a cave, they can sleep undisturbed, retreat and still keep an eye on what's happening around them. The PEBBLE felt cat cave is made for exactly that: the dense wool felt is soft and warm, and the round shape looks calm in any room. PEBBLE comes in many colors, from white and gray to mustard and pink, so you can find the right cave for your home. For cats who never pass up a cardboard box, there's the PAPERCAVE cardboard cat cave: a retreat and scratching surface in one.

Choosing the Right Cat Cave: Material, Space and Playfulness

Which cave is right depends on your cat. Cats who love to snuggle up and sleep in feel at home in the PEBBLE felt cave. Cats who like to scratch and take over cardboard boxes love the PAPERCAVE, made of corrugated cardboard. For active cats, the PLAYGROUND scratching cave is ideal: a modular play world for hiding, scratching and hunting. Place the cave in a quiet spot, ideally a little raised or with a view of the room.
