Is your cat seeking nap-time privacy? There are many reasons why cats choose dark, enclosed spots for their naps. These include warmth, reduced stress, and safety. It’s why your kitty’s favorite cat bed may be a cardboard box with high sides—or a semi-enclosed cave cat bed.

Lucky for you and kitty, the contemporary cave-style beds come in a wide range of styles and materials. Whether your taste is modern and streamlined or classic and cozy, there’s a cat cave to suit your home and your fussy cat.

Be sure to get one that’s the right size for your cat. Larger or older cats tend to prefer something roomier where they can stretch out a bit, while kittens and young cats like to curl up tight.

The Best Cave Cat Beds

We checked out all the new cat cave-bed offerings and picked a few that meet our criteria for a great cat bed: easy to keep clean, attractive enough for your living areas, and sturdy—these will keep their looks (and padding) for quite a while. Any one of these cozy beds will give your kitty a sense of being safely hidden.
