The Big Burrow — Donut Cat Tunnel Bed

Does your cat spend half the day looking for somewhere to hide, and the other half wanting somewhere soft to sleep? The Big Burrow does both at once — a genuine felt donut tunnel your cat can curl up on top of, or disappear inside for a proper hideaway.

The circular tunnel shape taps into a cat's natural instinct to seek enclosed, secure spaces, while the soft felt exterior doubles as a warm, comfortable sleeping spot. Two entrance styles are available: a simple round opening, or a fun cat-head-shaped entrance.

Good for

• Hiding and security — enclosed tunnel space taps into natural denning instinct
• Sleeping on top — the felt exterior works as a standalone bed too
• Scratching — the felt surface holds up well to light scratching and kneading
• Multi-cat households — big enough that more than one cat can use it at once, whether that's one on top and one inside, or curled up together
• Easy to clean — the whole donut unzips into two separate cushion halves, so you're not wrestling one big awkward shape into the wash

Sizing & weight capacity

• 50cm diameter (50 x 50 x 20cm) — suitable for cats up to 4kg
• 60cm diameter (60 x 60 x 28cm) — suitable for cats up to 4-8kg, or multi-cat use

Recommended setup

Place it in a quiet corner away from foot traffic for the best chance of your cat actually using it — most cats prefer hideaways tucked away rather than in the middle of a busy room. Pairs well with The Big Lookout window hammock for cats who like having multiple resting spots to choose between.

Advanced FAQ

Which size should I get?
The 50cm suits cats up to 4kg. If your cat is heavier, you have multiple cats who might want to use it together, or you just want extra room, go for the 60cm (rated up to 4-8kg).

Is it machine washable?
The bed unzips into two separate cushion halves, which makes spot cleaning each piece much easier than a full machine wash — we'd recommend spot cleaning to preserve the felt structure and shape.

Will my cat actually use it?
Cats are individuals, but the enclosed tunnel shape taps into a strong natural instinct for hiding spots, which makes this style of bed generally well-received. Placing it somewhere quiet rather than a busy room improves the odds.

What's the difference between the round hole and cat head entrance styles?
Purely aesthetic — both offer the same size opening and function, just a different look for the entrance.

Does it arrive with creases from packaging?
It's shipped folded to keep the parcel compact, so it may have some creases on arrival. These smooth out with use, or can be gently ironed flat if you'd like it looking neat straight away.

Can it hold its shape over time?
The felt construction is designed to hold its donut shape, though like any felt product it may need occasional reshaping after storage or heavy use.
