Enclosed igloo cave · Folds flat to open bed · Non-slip base · S / M / L
Most cats don’t want to be seen while they sleep. They want a roof over their head, walls on three sides, and one small entrance they chose to walk through. The PawHaven™ gives them exactly that — and on the days they want to sprawl out instead, the dome folds flat in seconds.
The PawHaven™ igloo cat cave bed is an enclosed plush fleece hideaway designed around the instinct most indoor cats share: the preference for a covered, semi-enclosed sleeping space over an open flat bed. The dome is structured but soft, holding its igloo shape when upright and folding flat when you press the top down — converting from a cave to a cushioned open mat without removing any parts or buying a separate bed.
Inside, the lining is a dense short-pile fleece — soft, warm, and designed to trap body heat without overheating. The base is double-layered with a thick cushioned pad that lifts out for cleaning. Underneath, a dotted non-slip grip layer keeps the bed in place on hard floors and low-pile carpet. A fabric hang loop sits at the apex if you want to store it on a hook between uses.
Available in three sizes to match your cat’s breed and sleeping style.
Dimensions by size
| Size | Dimensions (L × W × H) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 28 × 28 × 30 cm | Kittens, small cats up to ~3 kg |
| Medium | 36 × 36 × 38 cm | Average adult cats ~3–5 kg (British Shorthair, Ragdoll kitten) |
| Large | 43 × 43 × 41 cm | Larger cats ~5–7 kg, small dogs up to ~6 kg |
Dimensions are supplier-measured; allow ±2 cm variance.
Worth knowing before you order
This is a soft plush bed, not a rigid furniture piece — it holds its dome shape well when undisturbed, but it won’t stay perfectly round if a large heavy cat leans against the side. For a structured permanent cat hideaway, see PawNook™. Not suitable for medium or large dogs — the entrance opening and interior dimensions are sized for cats and small dogs only.
Cave mode and open mode
When assembled, the igloo sits upright with the entrance facing forward — enclosed on three sides and the top, open at the front. Press the dome down from the top and the structured panels fold flat, converting the bed into a cushioned mat. Press back up and the dome returns. No clips, no assembly, no separate parts.
Some cats take to the cave shape immediately. Others prefer to sleep in the open mat for the first few days before exploring the enclosed version. Either way, both modes are available from the same bed.
Questions
Which size should I get for my cat?
A good rule of thumb: the cat should be able to turn around inside the cave with a little room to spare. For cats up to around 3 kg (most kittens and small adult cats), the Small works well. For average adult cats in the 3–5 kg range — British Shorthairs, Ragdolls, domestic shorthairs — Medium is the right choice. For larger cats over 5 kg or small dogs up to around 6 kg, go Large. If your cat is at the top of a size range and tends to stretch out rather than curl up, size up.
How do I clean it?
The cushion pad lifts out and can be cleaned separately. For light hair and dust, a lint roller or vacuum attachment works well on the plush exterior. For the cushion pad, confirm with your order whether it is machine-washable or hand-wash only — we’ll update this page once we have the supplier’s confirmed care instructions. The outer shell can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap.
Will the dome stay upright or collapse on its own?
The dome is internally structured and holds its shape when left alone. A cat moving around inside will naturally compress and re-expand it slightly, which is normal. The fold-flat function requires deliberate downward pressure from the top — a cat sitting inside won’t accidentally collapse it. That said, this is a soft bed, not a rigid frame: if a very large or heavy pet leans hard against the side wall, it will lean. For cats within the recommended weight range per size, the structure is stable in normal use.
My cat ignores enclosed beds — will this work for them?
Not every cat takes to an enclosed bed immediately — and if yours consistently avoids covered spaces, a cave bed probably isn’t for them regardless of brand. However, some cats that ignore cave beds initially will use one if introduced with the dome folded flat first. Let the cat sleep on the open mat for a few days, then gradually raise the dome. The fold-flat design makes this gradual introduction possible without needing a second bed. No guarantees — cat preferences vary widely — but it’s worth trying if your cat is on the fence about enclosed spaces.
Does it work on carpet and hard floors?
Yes. The non-slip dotted grip underside holds on hard floors and low-pile carpet. On thick or shag carpet the non-slip base has less effect (the carpet itself absorbs movement), but the bed is heavy enough that it stays in place in normal use. Not designed for outdoor use.
