Promising review: "As a cat owner, especially the owner of an old cat, I was skeptical he wouldn't use this, but OMG!! He loves this thing!!! And I love that I can keep it plugged in without it getting too hot. I have a big Maine Coon cat who's really hating the cold, and he's just enamored with this. Definitely a winner! When I took it out of the box, I plugged it in and put him in after 20 minutes. Once it was warm, I think I had to deliberately put him in two or three times before he realized how cozy it was. It's now his #1 sleep spot. Couldn't be happier! Worth it!" —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $51.46+ (available in two sizes and two colors). Promising review: "When I was putting it together, my 20-pound tabby immediately went inside the tube, and did not come out for over an hour! It was easy to put together (even with a 20-pound cat inside lol). But, this entire thing is about 3 feet long. Make sure you have room!! The material is surprisingly soft, outside and inside the tunnel. And the light coloring allows light to filter through, which my cats like (I had a black tunnel that neither of them would go into). My smaller 10-pound tabby (black nose) LOVES to run around the house, and now he has added running a few laps inside this tunnel to his run lol. Both cats play in this ALL THE TIME. Both on the inside chasing each other, or one on the inside and one outside batting at each other. They use the tunnel as a good napping spot, and also a spot to hide from the vacuum or guests they aren't sure of. This has gotten soooooo much use from both cats." —Trebeca Get it from Amazon for $21.10+ (available in four colors/patterns). BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes swears by it: "This is THE cat bed, y'all. Neither of my cats have ever really taken to a cat bed and much preferred to doze on their cat tree or curl up on a regular blanket — until I finally caved in and bought the Aspen self-warming bed a while back. IMMEDIATELY upon placing it on my couch, one of my cats crawled into it and happily began napping. As soon as he moved away, my other cat jumped in to take it for a test run as well — and immediately curled up as well. After about a week of them taking turns using it (literally, the cat *not* in the bed would lay next to it waiting for the other to leave — my polite boys 🥹), I realized I needed to buy a second one. They immediately took to that one as well, and now, they both have access to their favorite bed whenever they like! Whenever I put my hand underneath them, I can definitely feel how warm they are underneath, so the bed's self-warming feature seems to work well. I think what they love most about it is the shape and how unbelievably cushy it is. And the sides of the bed are supportive enough for them to put their heads on, but still flexible enough for them to stretch out however they like. While the listing recommends this bed for cats under 10 pounds, larger cats will be just fine, as Sneaky is quite large (his affectionate nickname is "Chonky"), and he adores this bed. Most of all, I love knowing they won't be cold at night, especially when I'm away from home. Knowing I'll never have to waste money on another cat bed that sits unused is just the cherry on top. Highly recommend!!" Promising reviews: "Purchased this in the small size for my senior female kitty and she loves it. I had purchased similar cat beds in the past that were okay, but went with this brand this time when other cats in the house commandeered them. This bed is taller than the others I purchased. Very soft and I washed it after receiving it using a front loader washer with no problem. Used low heat in the dryer, and it came out really soft and fluffy. My cat took about 20 minutes before she settled in it and she seemed very content. Plenty of room for her to curl up and be cozy. Would recommend to others looking to buy this." —Twinkie "I’ve had this for three days and my senior cat has spent at least 36 of those 72 hours in this bed. She took one sniff and it was instant love. I set it in front of her favorite heat vent. I plan on keeping this as long as it lasts. Looks durable, though haven’t had it very long. There are non-slip bumps on the bottom, which would be nice if I had to move it to the wood floors. The medium was the right size for a very average size cat." —Valerie Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in four sizes and eight colors). I've had this blanket for a while, and it holds up really well, even after several washes (just follow the care directions on Lola's website!). Both my cats snuggle on this constantly, so much so that I'm considering getting one just for them. BuzzFeed Shopping writer Chelsea Stuart has this and says, "I've had this for a couple of months now, and wow, I don't even reach for any other throws I own. In fact, I drag it from my bed to my couch and back again at the end of the day. It's fuzzy on both sides — which I think is what makes it an absolute winner!! Other blankets I own are only faux fur on one side, and then the other side is still soft, but a smooth polyester that just doesn't hit the same — especially when my cats want to use the fuzzy side, and I inevitably let them have it because I would give them the world if I could. The other thing about this blanket is the sheer size! I have it in a large (60 x 72 inches), so I never have to choose between having my toes or shoulders covered." Promising reviews: "I was so skeptical about the hype around a blanket… my family has a Costco knock-off that we fight over, so when I saw 45% off, I took the plunge and o.m.g. SO WORTH every penny. I don’t even understand how they achieve this blanket's comfort level! They can fight over the Costco blanket, I’ll be wrapped in my Lola." —Camille "OMG! This XL blanket is amazing! My entire family can enjoy many movie nights snuggling in the negative degrees! I used to be a Ugg blanket user until I felt the softness and warmth of Lola! I highly recommend this!!!" —Tiffani Get it from Lola Blankets for $125+ (available in four sizes and 49 colors/designs). Promising review: "We have three very curious dogs who like to raid the litter box whenever they can. This has put a stop to that. For those of you who are having problems finding a litter box that fits, I suggest the Petmate jumbo litter box. It fits perfectly!" —Musicalelizabeth Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (available in five colors and three sizes). Promising review: "I’m not one to leave reviews on Amazon, but honestly, I LOVE this cat tree! It matches my room's aesthetic, and my fur baby absolutely loves it too! While I was building it, she hopped right into the smaller hammock on the bottom and hung out (albeit making moving it a bit harder, but that’s what cats do lol). Pretty easy to set up and with no issue on reaching my ceiling to lock it in place." —Mindy Valerioti Get it from Amazon for $89.99 (mushroom style available in one height; also available in five other styles and four total heights). Promising review: "Cat approved! Needed this height to match the window. Good oversize top bed for large cats. They use the scratching posts and cubby. Needed this size and simple option for the space. Easy to assemble and sturdy design. Great price." —Risa SJ Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in five other styles). Promising reviews: "Years ago, I got one of these. My cats loved it so much that one day I discovered all three of them stuffed inside, much to everyone's chagrin. So I got a second one, hoping they'd trade out. The two youngest have gotten bigger since they could (even somewhat unreasonably) fit inside a single pod together, and then I got a fourth cat. Lately, I'm noticing that the third and fourth cats on the scene are often looking forlornly at the occupied pods, so I've finally given in and purchased enough that every cat can have their own at all times, plus an extra for when one finally fails because, despite several machine washings, neither one is showing any wear yet!" —Renee "Jeffrey is afraid of everything. Everything. He had recently been tearing apart my couch pillows and sleeping inside them! I found this bed and decided to give it a shot. After about three weeks, he finally had the nerve to get inside and explore. After two minutes of exploration, he was out like a light. He LOVES this bed and has now become his 'safe place' when the big dogs come inside. Seems durable and SUPER soft. Great, great product." —Julian Get it from Chewy for $34.82+ (originally $49.99; available in three colors). Promising review: "Ahh, this is so cute!!! I have two cats, and they love this bed now. When I first got it, my cats were very confused and stayed away for a while. My boy, Decaf, started playing with the blueberries and strawberry around the house and would even carry them around. My girl, Fey, began sleeping in the tart with all the fruit. Now they both sleep in the bed, sometimes together, which is so impossibly cute and a tangle of kitty limbs! My boy is a 16-pound large cat, and my girl is about 7 lb (so smol), so while the bed looks smallish, they're cats. They are gonna attempt to fit in anything. If they fits, they sits." —cle Promising review: "Absolutely outstanding customer service, and the cat house is so amazing! Took me less than an hour to put together, and it was fun putting it together, lol. My kitty loves it! I'll definitely be back to order more. Thank you!" —Michelle Get it from Seventeen Design on Etsy for $113.95+ (originally $215; available with or without cushions). Promising review: "I bought this somewhat last minute as an addition to a new carrier that I purchased for my anxious cat ahead of a vet visit. While he was still a bit nervous in the car (and struggled to get into the carrier beforehand), he seemed to calm down a bit while resting on this plush bed. When we got home, I took this bed out of the carrier as I prepared to put everything away, and one of my other cats promptly plopped right down on it and made it hers. Now, two of my three cats alternate between resting completely on it or with half their body on it (the orange cat is the one who does this 😂). It's soft, comfortable, and cat approved in our house. Highly recommend!" —Melanie Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in four colors and six sizes). Promising review: "My cat loves this bed!! Even when I'm not at my desk, I find her sitting in it. The best part is that when I AM working, all I have to do is sit back a bit and she scoots right by me and goes straight to HER bed!! She gets to be near me all day for easy hugs, and I can focus on work without her dancing across my keyboard all day. Perfect." —Jillbo Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in three colors). Promising review: "These mini blankets are such a great bargain! My cat loves them. I pile three together, and place them in different parts of the house. She loves to 'knead' them and lay on them. I even have unwrapped extras to replace these if necessary. Great bang for your buck!" —Kathleen Shannon Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes S–L and four colors). Promising review: "Was easy to put together, no installation required; it simply fits onto the window track and then rests on the wall below. No holes made in your walls is a big plus! Very sturdy but easily relocated if needed. I have two cats and both fit quite comfortably together. The material is great quality and the bed portion is thick and super soft and cushy. This has become their favorite place to nap or watch birds." —Jeff Drew Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in four colors). * If Your Life Revolves Around Your Cat, Here Are 35 Things That'll Make Them Happy * Tips Cat Owners Will Wish They'd Known About Sooner * If You've Got At Least Two Cats Running Around Your Home, Check Out These 37 Useful Products * Products To Prove That Having A Cat Does *Not* Have To Mess With Your Home's Aesthetic * You Adopted A Cat: Here Are 27 Essentials You’ll Definitely Want To Own BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life.
