MEOWFIA Cat Cave - Merino Wool Bed for Indoor Cats (Dark Gray, Large)

I have tried more cat beds/caves in the past than I care to admit and the main problem I kept running into is they just weren't big enough. We have 5 cats and 2 of them are pretty big. The quality on some of them are really top notch, but if they aren't big enough....well, it really doesnt matter how high in quality they are. So reluctantly I ordered one of these Meowfia caves as the dimensions seemed pretty impressive. To say I was blown away when I recieved it would be a massive understatement as I really didn't read all the details on it before I ordered it. Not only did my 2 bigger cats absolutely love it, as well as my 3 smaller cats, but I also learned that it was hand made in Nepal with Merino wool. I was not expecting that at all. As someone that really enjoys supporting crafting efforts like this from other countries, as opposed to buying things made from Chinese factories time and time again, it was just a really nice surprise to learn than these were hand made in Nepal and that your basically helping to support families over there by purchasing these caves. It was also really nice to see just how high in quality these really are and make no mistake about it, these are about as high quality as your going to get from a cat bed/cave. Not only is it made from Merino wool, but its also pretty thick. Its about as thick as a quality mens wool jacket. I was just not expecting that at all. Its thick enough so that its easily able to hold its shape without caving in on itself. This will definitely help keep your cats warm in the cooler months. Personally, I am a HUGE fan of Merino wool and own a lot of Merino wool clothing (jackets, sweaters, long underwear etc.). One of my favorite clothing companies is Ibex and they use Merino wool pretty much exclusively. For those unfamiliar with the properties of Merino wool, its breathable, naturally resists odor and it doesn’t itch like traditional wool. It really is one of the best natural fibers on the planet. All of those properties really make it a perfect choice for animal caves/beds. Another surpise was that it came with a small Merino wool ball for the cats to play with. So this basically doubles as a cat bed/cave and a toy. My advice, rub a little catnip on the wool ball. It makes them go that much more crazy for the ball. One of my cats, Taboo, wen't absolutly nuts and was just bouncing around like mad in the cave playing with the ball. We were literally laughing out loud. And I like that Meowfia has a package of 6 extra balls that one can buy. One ball is nice, but I already know some of my cats will wind up carrying it away and playing with it in other places. Its just nice having extras balls. My cats loved this cave/bed so much that they were just standing beside it waiting for the cat inside to come back out so they could get back in so I immeditaly logged back onto Amazon and ordered 4 more caves, along with 2 - 6 packs of balls. I just recieved that package earlier this afternoon and my cats were definitely excited when they realized I had ordered more. I set up all 5 caves in the living room, rubbed catnip on the balls, and within 15-20 minutes all 5 of my cats were inside the caves playing with the balls. I love that feeling you get when you discover something that your pets really enjoy!! This was definitely one of those occassions. Ultimately we will spead these out a bit. We'll likely keep 2-3 in the living room and put 2 upstairs. Honestly, my only regret regarding these caves/beds is that is didn't discover them much sooner!! Bottom line - these are without question some of the nicest cat caves/beds on the market. Again, their hand made in Nepal, made with Merino wool, and come with a Merino wool ball so they really do double as both a cave/bed and a toy. And the quality is just top notch! As long as these are properly cared for, I could see these lasting at least 15-20+ years and still be in very good condition. Since they are Merino wool I recommend hand washing and the use of wool specific soap or a soap like Charlies Soap. Personally, I use Charlies Soap on all of my Merino wool clothing. If you hand wash, which again I recommend, just make sure you rinse it really well. All in all, if your looking for a quality cat bed/cave, this should wihout question be at the top of your list. Its a bit more expensive than some of the other caves/beds on the market, but given that its hand made in Nepal and made of Merino wool.....well, its absolutely worth the extra money. Trust me, your cats will absolutely love Meowfia's cat caves. 5 Stars and then some!!

This is our 4 y/o Dark Torti, Calamity. I made her two wool cat caves, one when she was a kitten and small enough for up to a medium-sized cat bed and later, one for a larger cat. She outgrew the first and shredded the second, out of love. Callie is a wild cat, not feral. She just lives in a house with humans. She's got surprisingly long, sharp claws and talks with her teeth. She is the smartest and pickiest cat I have ever had in my 61 years. I've purchased so many houses and beds for her, since she destroyed her big cat cave. She has used each one for a few minutes, scuffed them up just enough to eliminate the possibility of a refund and then hops out, never to return. The wooden house we got for her gets a rare visit only. She prefers new 'Zon boxes with paper inside and if we put it in a corner, she'll make a nest out of it and take her naps there. My husband is her "Paw-paw" and she chose him to be her human. Still, when he heard me say "I bought Callie a new cat cave" last night he made a 'not happy' noise. Another 'house' she won't use. But Calamity (Paw-paw calls her his Puddin') is feeling under the weather and needs a quiet place to recuperate and she tried to get into her old, torn up cat cave so before 10pm last night... Poof! New bed! I was outside this morning at about 0630hrs, feeding the animals and the Amazon guy delivers her Cat Cave. I brought it in, fluffed it out and set it out for her to inspect. She hopped right in! She immediately started to claw at it to get her scent on it and fluff it a bit more (enough to prevent a return). To my surprise, she settled in. She likes it! I set it up on the shoe bench by the window and she's napping in her new cat cave now. I'm just stoked that she's actually using it. She weighs 8-9lbs and did try to chew off the little leather tag on the opening. The cave is big enough to put a little cushion in there for her. You can see from the pics that she's got enough room to turn around and still feel secure with walls all around her. It's sturdy too. Whoever made this put some elbow grease into it and made it nice and thick but not too much. It holds it's shape and being flattened for shipping did not overly affect it. It popped right up when I took the string off of it. There isn't a strong smell of wool and it feels soft. It also came with some wool balls, which she loves. There was a packet of 6 balls and another ball inside the bed. I have made dozens for her but she likes to play fetch and these are too big for her to carry in her mouth. She did enjoy batting them around a bit but we'll see how she likes them after she feels better. She put them in one place but one is already missing and probably under the sofa along with another 15 or so. They're about 2 inches in diameter and feel like I might be able to shrink them a little. She's been in the cat cave for about 2 hours now. Finally! Her Paw-paw will be happy about this one because I finally found a bed she uses! I'll update if necessary.

The cat cave just arrived this evening and Fergus loves it. It’s so beautifully made and it’s a gorgeous color. It looks rumpled in the photos because he won’t get out and I’ve not been able to shape it with him inside. He climbed in as soon as I opened it. I saw reviews that said it had an odor and it was shedding wool. This has no odor and the wool is so well-felted, you can hardly see individual fibers. It’s very sturdy and rigid, and I don’t imagine it will sag. If he continues to enjoy it, I will purchase another for upstairs. I highly recommend! I bought the large. Fergus is 14.3 lbs, and there’s a little room left inside. 2 smaller cats could easily fit in this.

I give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews if the item arrives in good shape and does what it is intended for since I pretty much know what I like and what I need to use. Every once in a while an item arrives that would get more stars if it was possible. This cat cave is one such item. I would give it 10 stars if I could!! However, the early negative reviews (2018 through 2022 when I stopped reading) almost scared me off not only due to manufacturing issues but all the negative mentions of "chemical smell" a common complaint for imports early on especially those made from fabric or wood. One could almost faint from the awful smell in some items. It can be suspected there was little concern regarding chemicals being used. Fortunately, the newer reviews for this item showed enough improvement for me to take a chance since it could be sent back if need be and I liked the look and size. My daughter has a nose that smells all the way across town and she did not notice any odor on a recent visit, thank goodness or it would have gone back. Now to the review since I did purchase this cave. My entire adult life has been lived under the management of various felines. Until the present "manager" all the cats took their multiple naps mostly out of sight. I kept a pallet on a closet floor just for their napping privacy. The current resident needs no privacy. He is needy--he needs to nap near me. This means he naps on the bed, on the sofa, on top of the recliner, in a chair or on my lap, on his cat tree or behind the computer. Another great spot was in an Amazon.com delivery box from which he could see me. Yep, a cardboard box right in plain sight in the living room across from my desk. Several times I would search Amazon to find an item that would replace those Amazon boxes but found nothing I thought would get him to change his boxy ways. I wanted a natural fiber; no man made fibers like polyester would work for him (really would not work of me) so that eliminated much of what was being offered. It also had to look good, at least better than (apologies Amazon) those boxes. It also had to be washable. I also had to overcome my concern about switching off his beloved box! On a recent search I found this MEOWFIA Premium Felt Cat Bed Cave. It is advertised to be 100% free from harsh chemicals and synthetic materials. It is 100% merino wool felt. The wool is from New Zealand, a country that seems organic whether it is fully so or not! By the second descriptive point my complete attention was perked. It looked good. It came in two sizes. It is handmade in Nepal. It seemed perfect! It is perfect. My kitty weighs 8.5 pounds so I ordered him the medium but would definitely consider the large for any future purchases. It arrives folded but is a heavy wool felt so mine popped right back into shape. It arrives with a blue wool ball which can also be purchased separately. I cautiously removed the latest Amazon.com box and placed the cat cave down in the box's place. Then I waited. But not for long. He smelled it a couple of times when he casually strolled by. On the third walk-by he half-way got in, stayed half in for a couple of minutes before retreating. Well all that was hopeful since it was getting a lot of attention. Finally that evening he crawled in. He now spends as much time in it as he did the box so Mom is happy. He can use the inside or he can crunch it and sit on it, either way works for me because that box is gone--replaced with this attractive wool cat cave. It is worth the money. I love it!! Kitty decided to like it. We are both happy. The end!!

My cat loves it. She is curled up in it right now. Her old cave is 2 years old and has had a lot of use. She loves it but she would get hot, first her feet would hang out then she get out and lay in front of it. So when I saw the one made from natural material and nice wool I decided to buy it for her. I myself like natural material like wool, cotton and down so I thought maybe it would be better for her. Two days and she really loves it. I would recommend it for any cat that loves a cave bed. I think it will be great for winter as it gets cold and often snows where I live which is just outside of Yosemite California. I was worried it might be small but the medium fits her great plenty of room. She is 10 to 11 pounds.

They immediately went in the cave and seem to really like it! I do wish it was a little bit more round. You can see where it’s folding in but I read other reviews saying to pop it in the dryer. So I will try that.

The large size is “on sale” for $49.99, so I was a bit wary of purchasing. But I’m so glad I did. He instantly loved it! The included wool ball was also a hit with him. He was chasing it around and playing with it. Soft and comfortable merino wool cave. Seems durable, but it is flexible. No assembly required. We put ours in a corner, and the stability is great. Seems like it’ll be easy to clean; they recommend steaming. I wish I had purchased this sooner after seeing how happy it made him. I would also recommend some wool toys!

This cat cave bed is super cute, it’s a good size, I got the medium and i’d say it would be good for most small to medium cats. My 4 Month old is shown in the image. The medium be a tight fit for a larger cat but is perfect. It doesn’t have a bad smell, took a little time for shaping and still needs a little bit I put in the dryer full of a blanket and it puffed up pretty fast, my little one loves it even on the floor. Very Soft, my pet loves it, stable but soft, easy to setup.

Poes is er helemaal blij mee, ik minder, want ze ligt nu niet meer bij mij op schoot!😉 Mooie kwaliteit, goede vorm. Leuke kleur.

My cat loves it

Mi gato la amó desde que la vio, es de sus spots favoritos.

Mis gatos habían probado otras camas y ninguna les ha gustado. Esta les encanta. Seguramente porque es como una cueva. En la talla M caben los dos dentro porque es bastante amplia. Si se tumban encima sólo cabe uno. El material se ve de calidad y con el mismo estampado que en las imágenes. Lo muerden y arañan y ni se nota. Es muy bonita, calidad y confortable. Me ha llegado muy bien envuelta y atada con cuerda. Además traía una pelota de regalo del mismo material. Un gran acierto. Compraré otra para ponerla en otra parte de casa. El precio me parece bien por la calidad que ofrece.

Parfait ! Mon chat adoré et moi aussi. Excellente qualité, très réconfortant et très esthétique.
