Hard to know what they might like.   I bought what I thought was a lovely bed recently but none of our five has given it a second look.   However, an offcut of carpet I bought for the kitten pen has proved to be 'the' place to sleep !

The one I have got has a hole at the front and the back. Just thought I would mention it in case it might not be warm enough for some of your cats.

It's on the argos website

Might take a look in Wilkos on the way home to see what they've got.  Quite like the idea of getting one for the lads for xmas.

Those igloos are quite nice and we do have a Wilkos not seen them in Argos tho I'll have to look.  Different cats do like different beds our Penny loved an igloo, Squeaky beanbag or doughnut and radiator bed in winter.  Smokey liked any bed.  I've got wicker but not used it beause Schui will only sit on the settee.

I was tempted to get one, but mine have got wicker baskets with fleeces and beanbags dotted all over the house, they still sit on all our furniture instead!

If you have a Wilkos locally, they have the same cat igloo as in the picture; possibly for cheaper, because they seem to manage that a lot!I don't think they have any other style of igloo, though.

I got ours from Wilinsons, but it was about a year ago. Can't remember how much it was though.

Ooh - that looks like a nice bed!  I could be tempted to get one of them.  Surely they'd go for 1 of the 3 options!  8)  I like having a couple of beds as it gives me something to take to the cattery with them.  I don't think they use them there either, but at least it makes them look like cared for kitties  ;D

I've got that one too but with a leopard print.  Got it from PetsRUs and it was sold as a 3in1; igloo, douhgnut and hammock.  My lot prefer it in doughnut shape. :)

I've got this one and our old girl loves it now the weather has turned chilly.


( Argos 3-1 cat bed ).

We have got one of these beds. My cats have always squished the igloo beds down and laid on top of them, and have done the same with this one, so it made me laugh when I noticed that Argos list it as a 3 in 1 bed that can be laid on. Good marketing?? ;)

Any cat will sleep in a cat bed - just put the bed in a cardboard box.   :rofl:

Argos does have about the best got a catalogue yesterday but the igloo has a big hole. I know what I want but haven't seen any for ages and we have a few different types.  I'll keep searching our Penny loved hers but only the small holed one.  You're right too there's no guarantee Byron will!!

Hiya,

See the Travel Lodge posting, I should think they'll have a few going cheap soon :).

Seriously though my lot prefer dougnut types bought from Pets at Home, I did buy an igloo one from Argos but they've all studiously avoided using it :)

Cheers

Anyone know of any websites selling nice cat beds, we think Byron would like a small igloo she's not big and likes to curl up toasty warm.  We went everywhere yesterday and Pets at home used to have alot but they haven't now - or they've all been sold for christmas.  Our Penny liked the ones with the small hole any suggestions please?
