Felt egg cave bed · Full zip converts to open bowl · Paw-print window · 4 colours
Not a bed that sits in the corner — a sculptural den that earns its place in the room.
Most cat beds are an afterthought — a cushion wedged into a corner. The PawEgg™ is something else: a smooth egg-shaped felt cave that looks deliberately placed wherever it lands. The form is clean and architectural, the felt has a natural matte texture that wears beautifully, and the paw-print cut-out in the dome adds a quiet design detail that catches the eye without shouting about it.
The whole thing unzips around its equator. Lift the top half clean off and you have a generous open bowl — ideal for cats who want to see the room, or for warm months when an enclosed space feels too snug. Zip it back on and they have a proper enclosed den with a single arched opening. The cotton mat sits inside in either configuration, and the whole assembly comes apart for washing. One bed, two moods, fifty centimetres of felt-wrapped calm.
What makes it work
🐾 Full equatorial zip
The zip runs all the way around the middle of the egg — not a partial opening, but a clean split into two halves. Lift the dome off for an open bowl, replace it for a fully enclosed cave. The zip colour is matched to the exterior for a clean finish.
🐾 Paw-print cut-out window
The dome has a set of paw-print shaped holes cut into the top — a ventilation detail that also lets a little light in and gives curious cats a peek at the world outside. Distinctive, practical, and the detail that makes this bed immediately recognisable.
💧 Removable & washable
Unzip the two halves and wash each piece separately. The cotton mat inside lifts out independently. Far easier to keep clean than a fixed-construction cave bed — and the felt holds its shape well after washing when air-dried.
🛡️ Smooth wool-blend felt
The exterior is smooth, dense felt — it doesn't snag, holds its rounded egg shape without stiffeners, and has a natural matte quality that looks at home in any room. The contrasting interior adds a quiet visual accent without being garish.

Worth knowing
PawEgg™ comes in one size — 50cm wide. This suits most adult cats comfortably and many small dogs. If you have a very large cat (over 7–8kg) or a larger small breed dog, you may want to check the interior dimensions feel right for your pet before purchasing. The 50cm width gives a generous internal bowl that most cats curl into with room to spare.
Questions & answers
My cat won't use enclosed beds — will they take to this?
Unzip the dome and use it in open bowl mode first. Most reluctant-cave cats will use the open bowl immediately — once they've claimed it as their spot, you can try replacing the dome. The gradual approach works well: dome off for a week or two, then on. The paw-print ventilation holes also let a little light and air through, which many cats find less claustrophobic than fully opaque caves.
How does the zip hold up with a cat inside?
The zip runs around the outside of the bed's equator — well away from where your cat sleeps inside. When the dome is on, the cat is fully inside the lower bowl half, so there's no direct contact between the zip and your pet. Cats can push in and out through the front opening without touching the zip mechanism.
Will the felt keep its shape after washing?
Felt holds its shape well when washed on a gentle cool cycle and air-dried flat. Avoid hot water or machine drying — heat can cause felt to shrink and stiffen. Reshaping while still slightly damp is easy. The bowl base is slightly firmer in construction and holds its shape particularly well.
Is the cotton mat included or sold separately?
The cotton mat is included with every PawEgg™ — it sits inside the bowl base and lifts out separately for washing. It adds a soft layer of cushioning on the base that the felt alone doesn't provide.
Is it suitable for dogs?
Yes — the 50cm diameter suits small breeds comfortably in either open bowl or cave mode. Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Shih Tzus, Toy Poodles, and similar small breeds tend to love the enclosed den format. For dogs over around 8kg it may start to feel snug — check the dimensions before purchasing.
How does this compare to a plush cave bed?
PawEgg™ is felt, not plush — it has a smooth, matte, more architectural quality. Felt is naturally dense and holds its shape without padding; plush beds are softer and squishier. Some cats strongly prefer the firmer, more den-like feel of felt; others love to sink into soft plush. If you're unsure which your cat will prefer, felt caves tend to suit cats that like hiding in cardboard boxes or under firm furniture, while plush suits cats who knead and nest in soft fabrics.
