Our feline friends are mysterious creatures.
Often petulant rather than accommodating, we purchase delightful toys and delicious treats to please our furry companions just to find them discarded or buried in the garden. If you tell your cat to stop, they’ll go, and if you tell them yes, they’ll make clear that their answer is no – but we adore them all the same.
Due to their inherently picky nature, it can be difficult to find accessories amenable to their wants and needs. As such, it’s important to take note of your kitten’s nesting, burrowing and sleeping habits in order to ensure you can provide them with a cosy bed that suits their particularities.
What are the different types of cat beds?
We’ve rounded up a selection of the most fantastic and unique cat beds on the market. Keep scrolling for more.

Trixie Malaga Cat Scratching Post Activity Centre Anthracite Grey
Got a cat that loves climbing up and down all day? Though standard, scratching towers offer an entertaining means of gaining height, they often require a big old leap downwards for your cat. This is a scratching post that comes with sisal-wrapped ladders which lead to cosy condos and is therefore a great choice for cats who love to roam, play, and rest.
