MEOWFIA Cat Cave – Premium Felt Cat Bed Enclosure for Indoor Cats, Handmade Merino Wool (Light Gray, Medium)

I give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews if the item arrives in good shape and does what it is intended for since I pretty much know what I like and what I need to use. Every once in a while an item arrives that would get more stars if it was possible. This cat cave is one such item. I would give it 10 stars if I could!! However, the early negative reviews (2018 through 2022 when I stopped reading) almost scared me off not only due to manufacturing issues but all the negative mentions of "chemical smell" a common complaint for imports early on especially those made from fabric or wood. One could almost faint from the awful smell in some items. It can be suspected there was little concern regarding chemicals being used. Fortunately, the newer reviews for this item showed enough improvement for me to take a chance since it could be sent back if need be and I liked the look and size. My daughter has a nose that smells all the way across town and she did not notice any odor on a recent visit, thank goodness or it would have gone back. Now to the review since I did purchase this cave. My entire adult life has been lived under the management of various felines. Until the present "manager" all the cats took their multiple naps mostly out of sight. I kept a pallet on a closet floor just for their napping privacy. The current resident needs no privacy. He is needy--he needs to nap near me. This means he naps on the bed, on the sofa, on top of the recliner, in a chair or on my lap, on his cat tree or behind the computer. Another great spot was in an Amazon.com delivery box from which he could see me. Yep, a cardboard box right in plain sight in the living room across from my desk. Several times I would search Amazon to find an item that would replace those Amazon boxes but found nothing I thought would get him to change his boxy ways. I wanted a natural fiber; no man made fibers like polyester would work for him (really would not work of me) so that eliminated much of what was being offered. It also had to look good, at least better than (apologies Amazon) those boxes. It also had to be washable. I also had to overcome my concern about switching off his beloved box! On a recent search I found this MEOWFIA Premium Felt Cat Bed Cave. It is advertised to be 100% free from harsh chemicals and synthetic materials. It is 100% merino wool felt. The wool is from New Zealand, a country that seems organic whether it is fully so or not! By the second descriptive point my complete attention was perked. It looked good. It came in two sizes. It is handmade in Nepal. It seemed perfect! It is perfect. My kitty weighs 8.5 pounds so I ordered him the medium but would definitely consider the large for any future purchases. It arrives folded but is a heavy wool felt so mine popped right back into shape. It arrives with a blue wool ball which can also be purchased separately. I cautiously removed the latest Amazon.com box and placed the cat cave down in the box's place. Then I waited. But not for long. He smelled it a couple of times when he casually strolled by. On the third walk-by he half-way got in, stayed half in for a couple of minutes before retreating. Well all that was hopeful since it was getting a lot of attention. Finally that evening he crawled in. He now spends as much time in it as he did the box so Mom is happy. He can use the inside or he can crunch it and sit on it, either way works for me because that box is gone--replaced with this attractive wool cat cave. It is worth the money. I love it!! Kitty decided to like it. We are both happy. The end!!

I have tried more cat beds/caves in the past than I care to admit and the main problem I kept running into is they just weren't big enough. We have 5 cats and 2 of them are pretty big. The quality on some of them are really top notch, but if they aren't big enough....well, it really doesnt matter how high in quality they are. So reluctantly I ordered one of these Meowfia caves as the dimensions seemed pretty impressive. To say I was blown away when I recieved it would be a massive understatement as I really didn't read all the details on it before I ordered it. Not only did my 2 bigger cats absolutely love it, as well as my 3 smaller cats, but I also learned that it was hand made in Nepal with Merino wool. I was not expecting that at all. As someone that really enjoys supporting crafting efforts like this from other countries, as opposed to buying things made from Chinese factories time and time again, it was just a really nice surprise to learn than these were hand made in Nepal and that your basically helping to support families over there by purchasing these caves. It was also really nice to see just how high in quality these really are and make no mistake about it, these are about as high quality as your going to get from a cat bed/cave. Not only is it made from Merino wool, but its also pretty thick. Its about as thick as a quality mens wool jacket. I was just not expecting that at all. Its thick enough so that its easily able to hold its shape without caving in on itself. This will definitely help keep your cats warm in the cooler months. Personally, I am a HUGE fan of Merino wool and own a lot of Merino wool clothing (jackets, sweaters, long underwear etc.). One of my favorite clothing companies is Ibex and they use Merino wool pretty much exclusively. For those unfamiliar with the properties of Merino wool, its breathable, naturally resists odor and it doesn’t itch like traditional wool. It really is one of the best natural fibers on the planet. All of those properties really make it a perfect choice for animal caves/beds. Another surpise was that it came with a small Merino wool ball for the cats to play with. So this basically doubles as a cat bed/cave and a toy. My advice, rub a little catnip on the wool ball. It makes them go that much more crazy for the ball. One of my cats, Taboo, wen't absolutly nuts and was just bouncing around like mad in the cave playing with the ball. We were literally laughing out loud. And I like that Meowfia has a package of 6 extra balls that one can buy. One ball is nice, but I already know some of my cats will wind up carrying it away and playing with it in other places. Its just nice having extras balls. My cats loved this cave/bed so much that they were just standing beside it waiting for the cat inside to come back out so they could get back in so I immeditaly logged back onto Amazon and ordered 4 more caves, along with 2 - 6 packs of balls. I just recieved that package earlier this afternoon and my cats were definitely excited when they realized I had ordered more. I set up all 5 caves in the living room, rubbed catnip on the balls, and within 15-20 minutes all 5 of my cats were inside the caves playing with the balls. I love that feeling you get when you discover something that your pets really enjoy!! This was definitely one of those occassions. Ultimately we will spead these out a bit. We'll likely keep 2-3 in the living room and put 2 upstairs. Honestly, my only regret regarding these caves/beds is that is didn't discover them much sooner!! Bottom line - these are without question some of the nicest cat caves/beds on the market. Again, their hand made in Nepal, made with Merino wool, and come with a Merino wool ball so they really do double as both a cave/bed and a toy. And the quality is just top notch! As long as these are properly cared for, I could see these lasting at least 15-20+ years and still be in very good condition. Since they are Merino wool I recommend hand washing and the use of wool specific soap or a soap like Charlies Soap. Personally, I use Charlies Soap on all of my Merino wool clothing. If you hand wash, which again I recommend, just make sure you rinse it really well. All in all, if your looking for a quality cat bed/cave, this should wihout question be at the top of your list. Its a bit more expensive than some of the other caves/beds on the market, but given that its hand made in Nepal and made of Merino wool.....well, its absolutely worth the extra money. Trust me, your cats will absolutely love Meowfia's cat caves. 5 Stars and then some!!

My elder cat has gone deaf and kept hiding under the bed to feel safe. I bought her this beautiful pod and she is so happy. She spends her days near me, feeling safe and happy. The purring when she first got her pod was nonstop! Thank you for this lovely product, the material and craftsmanship make it extra special.

Excellent quality. My cat immediately got inside with zero coaxing. It also came with two matching felt toy balls, which the cats also love. 10/10! I might order a second one since our older cat is inside of it constantly. Looks really nice in the house wherever you choose to place it.

Great, cats love it. Feels sturdy. Came with care instructions on the tag which seem easy to do. Can't give 5 stars though because completely the wrong color arrived. I ordered Aquamarine, which is shown to be a light blue, and got a way darker teal color instead. Looks like a few other people had the same issue. Doesn't look bad, just unexpected and wouldn't be my first choice. Just something to keep in mind if the color really matters to you.

My fussy princess, Rosie, has turned up her nose at four cat beds in a row -- would not even look at them, much less enter. And then I purchased this one - wow. Rosie walked straight in, curled up and that was that. I am using this cat cave as a liner, basically, inside a custom wood cat bed that I keep outside for Rosie, for when things get too chilly for her. She loves the merino wool, amazingly dense and soft, no funky smells, seams or odd placements. I added a self-warming pad and her favorite fuzzy blanket inside, to create a nestling effect inside. My girl loves it.... A few reviewers have noted that the cave arrives folded, creasing issues, etc. I had none of that. Just used my hands to mold it into shape -- super fast and easy. In any case, I am thrilled with this purchase, a bit pricey but it's also a quality product, well constructed and well sized. I purchased Medium - quite roomy inside. Not too big, or too small. Rosie is rather long and lanky, 9.5 pounds.)

I put it on the floor, my cat walked into it, and went to sleep. She loves it! It is well made and a great size (large) for a 13 lb. cat. I am so pleased with her reaction to it!

I've been putting off buying cat beds because she always seems to prefer plastic, or leftover shipping boxes. I've even tried to make pillow forts which she does particularly like so I thought okay let me bite the bullet for an aesthetically pleasing cat cave and this hits all of the marks! I easily opened it up, set it out and she went in and hasnt left it since 😆 here's the deets Size- the babes is 6.5 pounds and the medium is cozy enough tk feel secure but roomy enough for here to adjust and stand up. Decor - the beige it fits right in and lookd modern without being totally obvious that is a cat cave. I could turn this around on the couch and it could look like a pillow. Versatility- love that it can be inverted as a regular bed for hotter months. Material - durable yet not scratchy felt- like fabric which will be easily laundered. It seems to reflect heat okay and if you need more warmth just ad a small blanket. Shape- I dont have a steamer to get out the wrinkles and it came folded so the shape sint perfect but im okay with that. Accessory- love the little will ball that came with it! Price - i think its a smidge high and is better proced at about $25- 30 but honestly I think its still worth it and a great buy. Honestly you won't be disappointed with this cave!

My cat loves it

These are so well made, I’m super happy with it and so are my cats 😊

Mis gatos habían probado otras camas y ninguna les ha gustado. Esta les encanta. Seguramente porque es como una cueva. En la talla M caben los dos dentro porque es bastante amplia. Si se tumban encima sólo cabe uno. El material se ve de calidad y con el mismo estampado que en las imágenes. Lo muerden y arañan y ni se nota. Es muy bonita, calidad y confortable. Me ha llegado muy bien envuelta y atada con cuerda. Además traía una pelota de regalo del mismo material. Un gran acierto. Compraré otra para ponerla en otra parte de casa. El precio me parece bien por la calidad que ofrece.

Parfait ! Mon chat adoré et moi aussi. Excellente qualité, très réconfortant et très esthétique.

I couldn’t be happier with the MEOWFIA Cat Cave – Premium Felt Cat Bed for Indoor. From the moment I unboxed it, the quality was obvious. The felt is thick, sturdy, and beautifully crafted—far more premium than most cat beds on the market. What really impressed me is how much my cat loves it. The cave design creates a warm, secure hideaway that feels safe and calming, while still being breathable and comfortable. It’s the perfect mix of cozy and spacious—ideal for curling up, napping, or quietly observing the room. Design-wise, it’s a dream. The minimalist, modern look blends seamlessly into my home without screaming “pet furniture.” It feels intentional and elegant, not like something I need to hide in a corner. I also appreciate how practical it is: • Holds its shape beautifully • Naturally warm yet not stuffy • Easy to clean and maintain • Durable enough for daily use It’s clear that MEOWFIA truly understands both cats and design-conscious owners. This isn’t just a cat bed—it’s a thoughtfully made piece that supports comfort, security, and style all at once. If you’re looking to spoil your cat with something they’ll genuinely use (and love), this cat cave is 100% worth it. My cat has claimed it as their favorite spot—and honestly, I don’t blame them. 🐾✨
