I thought this bed would be so comfoting to my skittish cat, but she hated it! I thought she would feel secure in its snuggliness, but she refused to even get in it....I think she felt trapped.  I gave it to my daugher for her young pup.....and she adored it, so it wasn't a total loss! I think the top was just way too low for my cats liking. If it had been more cavelike with a higher "ceiling" it would have done the trick for my finisky cat! Shipping was fast!
