I LOVE this bed. The medium is a bit small for a regular sized cats. My cat is a shorthair stray and she’s not fat or larger than the average, I got a medium, I should have gone with large. It looks great! If i were a cat I’d want to crawl into it! My cat seemed to like the way it smelled but I have yet to see her in it.... but it’s pretty and o like the way it looks in my house. It’s her loss for not wanting to sleep in it. I do think had I got the large she would use it.
