Why it matters
The Peekaboo Cave is shaped from heat-pressed felt rather than sewn fabric. Push the top down and it's a donut bed; leave it up and it's a cave with a peekaboo opening, and the maker pitches it as a tunnel and a scratching surface too.
It measures about 24 x 24 x 11 in and is rated to 30 lb. Felt can't go in the washer: the maker says to vacuum, rinse or hand wash it.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Playful cats
- Multi-use pieces in small homes
- Cats up to 30 lb
Look elsewhere if
- Cats that prefer sleeping flat out on hard floors
- Owners who need an outdoor-rated bed
- Very large cats if the bed is sized small
Pros and cons
Pros
- Four uses in one
- Scratch-friendly felt
- Holds its shape
Cons
- Hand wash only
- Felt can pill
- Pricier than fabric caves
Limitations to weigh
- Measure your cat curled up and stretched out; a bed that's too big loses the snug, enclosed feel many cats want.
- Check the care label: some covers come off for the washer, others need spot cleaning or a gentle cycle.
- Cats pick beds by location as much as by fabric: try a warm, quiet spot with a view before deciding a bed is a miss.
