Should have bought 3 grey ones. This is Sylvester, The blue pad is a cooling pad, so he's stays in the basket most of the day. Good thing cuz it keeps him out of trouble.

Our cat never usually likes anything we buy and prefers a cardboard box. But this time she hopped into the basket and loves it. She is quickly making it hers by rubbing her face on it and scratching the base.

It took my cats a bit to get acclimated to their beds being replaced, now I can't get them out of it! I bought 2, one for each cat and they love to nap here. It looks nicer than most cat beds and they like it, so... 5 stars!

Duksie couldn't wait to get in the basket! She made herself right at home in it immediately. The pillow is nice and soft and overall, it's a very comfortable fit. I'm glad I selected the larger size. It's perfect! 👍🏽

Initially, they were not using the baskets, and I wasn’t sure if they would like them… One cat jumped in once but then nothing bit of catnip in each one of them to attract some interest and ever since they’re being used every day adding catnip. They love sleeping in them and it was a great purchase!

Lumos loves this basket! I find him in it all the time, either scratching it, playing with the cord or taking a morning nap in the sun. I am very happy with the quality, look and feel of it too!

Out of all the beds I bought for our baby, this one is by far, her favorite! She goes in it every night in the kitty condo. All her other beds and pods don’t get as much use as this one! Thank you! 😊

Kiki & Dali love their baskets. However, I thought they were supposed to be able to trim their nails with these but the cats don’t know that I guess, because they don’t claw them. Otherwise they are very well made.

It's a magic basket! For about ten days Doug wouldn't go anywhere near it, until finally I had the inspiration to run my fingernails along the bottom. He jumped right in, started scratching, and he's loved it ever since. He sleeps in it, lounges in it while watching birds on our balcony, loves to chase his toy balls in it, and has even brought his stuffie into it. It's really helped him calm down - he was a stray before I adopted him, and often seemed restless before. He would hide away in the c...

So far so good. They’re both spending more time in their baskets everyday. They enjoy sleeping in them too, it’s very noticeable because they'll sleep for hours. They haven’t claim a particular basket but use both equally

Lucie didn’t go into the basket for about a week. She is 17 and resists change. Then she started choosing it over her other sleeping place next to it. She has used it ever since. She seems to like that she can snuggle down below its sides and feel safe.

My girls absolutely love their basket. The 2nd one arrived today and they are so happy! I will share pictures shortly. They never warm up to new things for close to 1 week but they were jumping in and out of the basket within an hour of having it.
Great product!!

It took about a month, but one of the kittens is finally using one of the 2 baskets I’ve ordered.
Overall, The baskets are very well made and look nice. They’ve arrived quickly and in good condition. I’m happy with them. Just wish that the second kitten would use it too.

This is not the cat I bought a bed for, but All 3 cats like these beds and are in them regularly. Other beds I have tried are completely ignored for the 6 foot dog bed (right in the middle) or stealing the human seats, of course.

I’ve literally never purchased a cat bed that my boys instantly begin using. They immediately climbed in and snuggled up straight out of the box. Usually they get in the box it came in and ignore whatever I bought them for weeks! This was an immediate hit!!

My cat Atticus loves his basket. It is on the couch and is his favored place for naps, particularly in the evenings when I sit on the couch and watch TV. He likes chewing on the double knot, other times, he sleeps on the knot.

Trip loves this basket! I wasn’t convinced he would use it. I was wrong! If he is sleeping… this is where he is sleeping. He does use it to scratch his claws. He still scratches his couch. But I do believe this helps. Old habits are hard to break. But if I ever adopt a new cat. I will introduce this immediately.
He does use it to scratch his claws. So far I see no wear or damage!😊

The first week I set the basket in the den where all the action was and tried to entice Bunny with the attached ball. She never got in the basket. When I moved the basket to my bed, she now sleeps there at night and I have found her napping there during the day.

That’s Marco, my 3-year old Burmese who with his brother Eddie gets territorial about this bed even though I bought two of them. Marco also likes to wrestle with it, bite it, and play with the ball. These are their favorite possessions.

My black tom cat was in it as soon as I put it down on the floor. He loves it. He has turned the round basket into an oval, however. The basket could be a bit larger too accommodate a very large cat.

We have two Maine coon cats they love this product! The attached tail provides lots of fun!! I’m sure this winter they will spend hours in the basket in front of the fireplace. We bought the largest size offered. Our girls are 15-16 lbs but are very long. We would appreciate if you offered an XL with a 16 inch diameter and would absolutely order again for a larger size! . The quality is excellent, we are very happy with the purchase.

Our present cat came to live with us in October, she is a rescue from Cats Protection and turned 3 years old in November. She declined the use of our previous cat's bed, preferring our beds or the sofa instead. I acknowledged the old bed was old and subsequently invested in 3 new ones, all of which were ignored completely. Almost in desperation I decided to give it one more go and bought one of your beds, hoping it wouldn't be an expensive mistake. At first she ignored it and my heart sank. So I...

My biggest boy knew exactly what to do as soon as it was out of the package. He stepped in, scratched for a minute then stretched out. He’s been in and out of his basket ever since. It’s a smidge small for him, but he doesn’t seem to mind a bit. Happy with my purchases, hoping the other two follow their brother’s lead soon.

Blackie took about a week to lay in the basket but now uses it every day. She seems to really like it. I wish you had included instructions not to remove the sewed on leather tag. I cut it off thinking it was just another tag but in doing so it exposed the joining of the rope sides. Now I have threads hanging. I will try to sew this area up but Blackie doesn’t seem to mind just as it is. She always smooths her mouth on the basket weave. It was a good purchase. Pillow is nice too!
