Like many people, I was worried about the price. Specially if my cat ends up not using it. But I'm happy to report she loves it and uses her bed often.The shark bed was totally worth it! Arrived quickly, high quality, and very cute!These are well-made and I like the fabric choice and overall shape. That said, my scaredy-cat hides under the bed in the guest room where I have put this. I do notice that it does tip over a little bit. I also folded it down for her to sit on top of and hope she takes to it at some point but have yet to see her in it. At least it is very pretty and looks very well made.While my new kitten was initially hesitant to use this for the first couple days it quickly became a hit with her both as a bed and a space for her to jump in and out of during play. Additionally, because it's machine washable, it's very easy to clean and take care of.We just adopted a new cat, at the shelter she usually hid in the closet so we thought this would be a comfortable cave for her to curl up in while settling in. I love that it has a small and a large opening, it makes her feel more secure, she can keep an eye on the room through the small hole and make an easy escape from the back if she wants to sneak away. She’s already feeling comfortable in her new home but this is her safe place when she’s overwhelmed. Cat gives it 5 stars!I also would give 5 stars for quality! This is made in America, the craftsmanship is flawless, the fabric is beautiful! It collapses/folds up so it would be perfect to take on the road if traveling or moving. I honestly think it will last for years!Love love love! Seriously couldn’t be happier with what we received!Neither of our cats sleep in these ball beds, but they love them nonetheless. They play in them for hours. They will occasionally rest either inside or on top (they squish down into a concave shape), but mostly they just play. One will hide inside a ball and wait for her sister to walk by, then pounce! Or they'll both get in and wrestle around a bit. Recommended.One of my two cats likes this and has made it his primary bed.It's unfortunate that they don't make different sizes. My cat's about 21 inches long, and this is somewhat small for him. His head and tail usually hang out of the ball.The foam walls are somewhat thin. Maybe half an inch.Easy to clean. I've washed it on permanent press cycle and dried with low heat several times.I bought this bed because I read that cats stay warm in it. I bought it for my son's cat. My son reduces the temperature a bit in his house when at work. I wanted to buy him something that the cat could warm with his body heat. The cat is in this bed and warm every day when my son comes home from work.
