At some point, most cat owners have bought their cat a bed, only to discover their kitty preferred the tissue paper or cardboard box it came in. To try to avoid future heartache of this type, we spent 19 hours researching 62 cat beds and testing 13 of them. We picked seven we love for their style, softness, and cleanability—as well as their ability to meet the behavioral needs of most cats. Although we can’t guarantee a cat won’t snub a bed ever again, we think most cat owners will find a standout here.
