Cat Cave: Sleeping safely as if in a hideaway
Cats like to withdraw to narrow, sheltered places, whether that's a cardboard box, under the duvet or inside a wardrobe. A cat cave meets this need. It is enclosed all round with just one opening, so your cat feels safe and can sleep undisturbed. Shy cats, newcomers and cats that feel the cold in particular quickly find their very own place of calm here.
Cuddly cave, castle or tent
The Kerbl cuddly caves Anne, Amy in a suede look, Bianca with cushion and Angi with reversible cushion are made of soft materials that retain body heat well. A wooden cat castle offers a sturdy cave that your cat can also lie on top of. The Beeztees sleeping bag is ideal for cats that love burrowing under blankets. And the Tipi cat tent brings an airy retreat with a homely look into your home. Whatever the style, each one gives your cat a cosy den that feels like its own little territory.
How your cat will take to the cave
Place the cave in a quiet spot, away from doors and busy walkways. A cushion or blanket with a familiar smell makes moving in easier. With models that have a removable cushion, you can simply wash the lying surface. Many cats explore the cave cautiously at first before sleeping in it, so give your cat a little time and never put it inside by force.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my cat love to hide away so much?
Narrow, enclosed spaces give cats security, because nobody can approach unnoticed. They also keep in the warmth well. If your cat suddenly withdraws much more often than usual and eats less, have it checked by a vet.
Is a cave or an open bed better for my cat?
Your cat will show you. If it likes sleeping in boxes, under blankets or in the wardrobe, a cave is ideal. If it prefers to lie stretched out in the middle of the room, an open bed is the better fit.
Do several cats each need their own cave?
Yes, that makes sense. Every cat should have its own retreat where it won't be disturbed. Spread the caves across different rooms so that no cat pushes another out.
Cat caves for quiet moments of retreat
A cat cave is the right place for cats that like to burrow away while they sleep. Enclosed all round with just one opening, it gives your cat a feeling of security while keeping in the warmth. Shy cats, newly arrived animals and those that really feel the cold in particular quickly settle down here. With us you'll find soft Kerbl cuddly caves, some with a reversible cushion or removable padding, a wooden cat castle for lying inside and on top, a snug sleeping bag and a tipi-style cat tent. Place the cave in a quiet spot away from doors and busy areas. With a familiar blanket inside, your cat will usually accept its new hideaway quickly. If you have several cats, treat each one to its own cave, ideally in different rooms so everyone has a quiet corner.
