    21 Whimsical Cat Beds That Are Really Just A Whole Vibe

    My cat-loving heart can't handle how cute these beds are.

    1. A hanging macrame cat bed so your kitty can lounge in true boho style. It might look fragile, but the weight capacity is 40 pounds!

    2. An Instaworthy fruit tart pet bed they can curl up in while snuggling a strawberry and catching some Z's. Covered in faux fur with a foam core, this plush bed is an adorable option for kittens and smaller cats.

    3. A felt mushroom cat bed that just exudes whimsical fantasy forest vibes and though your kitty won't know how utterly cute this bed is, they *will* know how cozy they are curled up inside, poking their head out of its heart-shaped entrance.

    Promising review: "If I could leave more stars, I would. Let’s start with the kitty cave: exactly what I expected from photo(s) and description but better. It is so gorgeous. I have built out a wooden cat cafe wall because I do not like the unsightly look of towers and I want her stuff to look beautiful without looking cheap and typical so I ordered this because of look and material and MY CAT LOVESSSS IT. They ALSO sent a few toys because she was really sick when I ordered. She is not your typical active cat, but the toys (especially the mice) they sent are not only chic as hell (they are really gorgeous) but she goes nuts and gets super cat-like hunter mode when I pull them out. And on top of it all, UPS had issues and Felt & Yarn helped me every step of the way so calmly and professionally, I think I love them. (I’m out of review room 😩 💖💖💖)" —Laura Rycyna

    4. A wall-mounted cat bed with a spaceship-esque dome design so they can nap and observe the room from above.

    5. A tunnel bed they can hide away in for a snooze, because, well, you know those days when you feel like hiding in your room and avoiding human contact? Your cat has those days too.

    6. A banana-shaped bed for cats who are always crawling inside boxes, baskets, blankets, and anything else that provides them some cover. They'll have a wonderful time curling up in its plush interior and poking their head out of the top for pets.

    7. A Japanese strawberry milk cat bed that is simply *too* cute to exist, and yet it does. Just imagine all the afternoon naps they'll spend snuggling inside this plush "house" (and all the cute pics you'll subsequently snap).

    8. A sardine can cat bed made of recycled corrugated cardboard for both scratching and sleeping (you could put a little mat inside). It's almost as much of a treat for your cat as sardines themselves.

    9. A sherpa-lined moccasin cat bed reviewers rave about for its luxurious softness, quality craftsmanship, and adorable design — and their cats give the stamp of approval for napping as well. Plus, your frisky feline will finally have their *own* shoelaces to play with instead of yours.

    BTW, it's made entirely of vegan materials.

    Promising review: "From the measurements, I wasn't sure if my 17-pound boys would fit into this bed, but with its fairytale look, the bed was too irresistible and I had to try it. The bed arrived promptly just in time for Christmas and is beautifully made. Excellent craftsmanship! I set it up yesterday and woke up this morning with one of my 17-pound boys cozily snuggled inside. Love it!!" —Charlotte Jonsson

    10. A woven cat pod made by hand using Ghanaian craft techniques and natural elephant grass to create a beautiful, cozy hideaway for your fur babe. The inner sherpa cushion is included!

    11. A little pom-pom–bedecked tent where your feline can hang out, nap, and pretend they're on a cats-only camping trip.

    12. A simply darling rocking bed for your cat because no matter their age, they are your baby and they deserve the very best. It's a 2-in-1 design, meaning the bed can be removed and placed on the ground, and the cat can hang out on the wood rocker without it if they prefer.

    13. A Toasty Cat bed lined with orthopedic memory foam to cushion their joints as they doze, making it an especially nice choice for senior kitties. It's also designed to be roomy and comfortable enough for chonky cats, and many reviewers back this up as well!

    It has a washable zip cover, making cleaning a breeze!

    Promising review: "My cat always prefers cardboard boxes to the beds and toys we pay for inside those boxes, so I was not that surprised that she absolutely LOVED the cardboard box this comes in. But I was shocked when she actually sat in the bed without treat or catnip enticement! She is 14 pounds, so the XL bed is a good fit for her. The new bed is a big improvement over the original Toasty Cat bread bed, which was small for her, so I was very excited when the company announced due to popular demand it would be making a bigger bed. The packaging is attractive and it looked great right out of the box — no wait for air-sealed wrinkles with the new and improved model. The toys are very photogenic as well. It's very cushy, with memory foam." —Jenny

    14. honey pot bed for the kitty who's as sweet as Pooh Bear himself.

    Promising review: "I was worried this cute bed would be something I liked more than the cats. They LOVE it and they are so cute with it. One cat gets curled up all the way inside. Another cat likes to have his head sticking out of the hole. They all take turns sleeping in it. It’s so soft — I want a human-sized one for myself." —bigbabymoe

    Get it from Chewy for $34.99.

    15. A Mandalorian-themed cat bed inspired by the galaxy's cutest baby. Thanks to its dark interior and padding on all sides, it's the ideal environment for cat naps that are out of this world.

    Promising review: "I have other similar beds for my cats that go unused so it made no sense for me to buy this bed, but when does sense come into play when shopping for my cats? (Answer: rarely.) I’m glad I bought this because all three of my cats use it. I think the reason this bed is used while others are not is because the interior of the bed is black, like light-blocking black. It’s so dark inside that I’ll occasionally see a cat looking into the empty bed doing the head bob thing trying to figure out if there’s something at the back of the bed. For once, an impulse purchase worked out...this bed is definitely recommended!" —Paul

    Get it from Chewy for $24.99.

    16. A merino wool cave bed that's purr-fectly cozy and spacious enough for them to stretch out during their afternoon naps. And though it doesn't get overly warm in the summer, you can also flatten the dome to turn it into a padded mat.

    It's suitable for cats up to 20 pounds!

    Promising review: "I fell in love with this bed and even though I knew it was frivolous, I bought it. I am not disappointed at all 😍 it's so cute! To get my kitty to use it, I put a towel. She has been sleeping inside with catnip on the little wool ball inside. Works like a charm. Also warms up nicely from body heat so she will have a great place to snuggle up." —ACorazzol

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in three styles).

    17. Or a Wooly Cat Cave with a long, whimsical stem that looks straight out of Dr. Seuss. These are hand-felted in Italy and each one is truly a piece of art (making a nice piece of modern decor!), but all your cat will care about is curling up in their cozy new den.

    Promising reviews: "Oh my...it was a party in our house when this cat cave arrived. My only mistake was only buying one. The kids don’t appear ready to share with each other. Guess I need to get another!!! Thanks. Amazing quality and the whimsy it adds to the home decor is spot on." —Barbara

    "We purchased this beautiful cave for our Little Prince, Jean Paul, the cat. He weighs 15 pounds, a big boy, so we ordered the cave in King size for him. It arrived pretty quickly, considering the distance. The moment he discovered it standing in the corner, he knew it was his — he immediately went in there, and all I would hear for the next few hours (!) was his loud purring. He loved it from the very start! It also serves as a true piece of art in our beautiful condo — we are getting compliments on it from everyone, who sees it! It is made of thick layers of wool and won’t collapse like most caves I have seen on Etsy. We are very picky customers, I was looking to invest into EXQUISITE quality, and Daniela’s work represents that — it looks and is worth the money you pay for it. I smile every time I look at this beautiful cave! ❤️" —Karina Schuberts

    18. pizza cat bed for the kitty who's always begging for a bite of your dinner. It's covered in silky plush fabric that they won't be able to resist cuddling up in. Ah yes — pepperonis, anchovies, and cat, the best pizza toppings.

    Promising review: "My kitty absolutely loves his pizza bed. He loves playing with the little anchovies, and will carry them up and down his cat tower. The pepperonis as well! If he's not playing it with the squeaky toys, he's sleeping on them." —Abigail V.

    Get it from Meowingtons for $28 (originally $38).

    19. Or a potato chip bag bed to continue the snacktime theme. Rest assured, this bed is more comfortable than an actual bag of chips, and a wire in the opening keeps it propped open so your kitty will feel brave enough to wander inside.

    21. A strawberry-themed cave bed that's as sweet as your fur babe and much bigger inside than it looks in photos, according to reviewers. So if you have more than one cat, you might find them *both* cuddled inside this faux fruit one day.

    Promising review: "OMG, none of the pictures do this bed justice. The small is plenty big enough for two of my cats to sleep in comfortably. All two of them would fit, but they're a little dumb. The tent part stands up with no issues and the whole thing is very sturdy and well made. There's room inside if I wanted to put in more padding or bedding or a heating pad. The only reason I don't give five stars is because the pad that goes inside is foam and there's no way to take the cover off to wash it, nor is the cover waterproof. Anyone with pets knows that foam is a nightmare no matter what, but especially if it can't be protected from messes. Other than that I am delighted with this bed. This purchase is totally worth it. —Ladybug
