Editor's Notes
October 05, 2020:
Caves, and teepees or ottomans, are an ideal way to provide animals with an enclosed space of their own. We wanted to include items that are suitable for a variety of pets, as well as for a range of animal needs. For dogs that like to be fully enveloped in blankets, the Snoozer Luxury Cozy Cave and the Fur Haven Snuggery are great selections that offer thick padded bases covered by a loose top. Both feature a tube that holds the entryway open, though this is removable for pups that like to burrow their way into the bed. The former is more expensive than the latter, however, it's also more durable.
For owners that enjoy taking cute photos of their four-legged friends in comical situations, the Best Friends Novelty Hut and the Tordes Shark provide just that opportunity. You may need to fiddle with some elements of their exterior, for example the dorsal fin or the mouse's ears, to keep them in the upright position, however, overall they are both sturdy choices that are unlikely to collapse in and spook your pet.
We liked the openness of the Best Pet Supplies CR302, particularly for cats that don't like things resting on their backs and want to have a good view of the room. Unfortunately, it is a rather back-heavy design, so it needs to be placed up against a wall to prevent it from tipping over. If you want to experiment with a hut enclosure and aren't sure if your cat or dog will go for it, the Smiling Paws Pets 2-in-1 is ideal, as it can be utilized as a cave or an open-top bed. For this reason, it is also well suited to locations that have very hot summers and equally cold winters.
